A Thank You Letter To The Grandmas Around The World
Hannah Pirnie

If there is one person that stands out amongst the rest of our family members, it's our grandma. They are always loving and hardly ever tell us no. They are there to defend you when you’re in trouble with your parents. Unfortunately, we don’t take the time to thank our everyday superwoman as much as we should. This is why thanking grandmas around the world is the reasoning behind this letter.

It doesn’t matter who you are, if a grandma sees someone in need of a hot meal made with love, they are on the job. Every holiday, we tear through the piles of food, over stuffing our faces, and although we never say it out loud we typically like what you cooked the best. It's hard to describe why, you just get it right every time. So, for all the great meals that have been cooked by the grandmothers around the world, thank you.

One of the best qualities shared by all grandmothers is their wisdom. It’s not until we are older that we realize that our grandmothers serve as the foundation of our families, holding the knowledge of most family traditions. Our grandmothers are one of the only people in our families that have seen all the ups and downs of past generations. As a result, they often spread as much knowledge as they can think of to enlighten us with. Grandmothers serve as the ultimate family historian, and for this we thank you.

Something that will never get old is the amount in which our grandmothers care about us. In the eyes of a grandmother, their grandchildren can do no evil. Whenever we got in trouble with our parents, we were the victims of our parent’s strict rules. If you were ever down in the dumps, mad, or just not happy, grandma always had the remedy. From the day we were born, everything our grandmother has done was to make sure we stayed happy. To put it simply, grandmothers spoil us and we will always be thankful of that.

Our grandmothers are one of the most unique members of our family. They are without a doubt one of the wisest people we will get to meet while also being one of the most loving. Grandmothers are the only people we know that can cook better than even the most sophisticated restaurants. They saturate our lives with an endless amount of love and never give up on you, even if you are in the worst position imaginable. This is why we, their grandbabies, need to make a dedicated effort to go out of our way to show them the thanks they deserve on a daily basis. Getting the opportunity to meet your grandmother is not guaranteed, so why not make the most out of the time we have with our grandmother’s.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
