I saw that, it is great to honor Grandparents; I have very fond memories of  visiting my late Grandparents as a child. It was always such a fun time, especially my Grandfather who spoiled all of the grands a lot :)

My Grandchildren live next door. They come over after school, every day.

We were thrilled to get a phone call from our granddaughter 3,000 miles away in North Carolina. She is 16 and carried on a fun conversation.

Yes, but I heard nothing about this, especially now with everyone stuck at home!  I went on the "National Blank Day" sites and found it myself!

I have known about this for a long time.  This year grandparent's day was not a happy day for me because my only blood grandson drowned on Easter Sunday.

My greatest sympathy for you, how sad.
