Quotations

“To me, grannies mean something very, very, strong towards children just in terms of what we grannies and grandpas are. . . [We are] strong, we’re elderly, we’re wise, we have unconditional love for our children and children of the world. I felt like that we could respond and make a difference in many ways.” (CBS News, Jul. 19, 2018; photo comic sands)
