National Grandparents Day falls each year on the first Sunday after Labor Day. It’s not a holiday invented to sell cards and flowers. It was initiated at the grassroots level by West Virginian Marian Lucille Herndon McQuade, with the behind-the-scenes support of her husband Joseph L. McQuade. They had 15 children, 43 grandchildren, 10 great-grandchildren, and one great-great grandchild. After being married for over 60 years, Mr. McQuade passed away in 2001. Mrs. McQuade passed away in 2008.<\/p>\n

  2. \n

    To give grandparents an opportunity to show love for their children’s children.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  3. \n

    To help children become aware of the strength, information and guidance older people can offer.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
