Grandparents’ wishes
When I think of you turning 80, it brings me great joy to reflect on the blessings you have been in my life. You are still the perfect age to be my grandparent.
Your grandchild would love to wish you a happy 80th Birthday.
You can now tell stories, even if you’re 80 years old, to show how easy it is for kids these days. Send me your stories.
It’s amazing that you are 80. It seems like just a few years ago that you were in the 50s.
I believed that grandchildren were supposed to keep you young. It seems I’m not doing my job. I guess I will just have to keep your heart young.
It is hard to imagine you being anything but my grandparent. You’ve been with me for only a few decades.
It’s cool to know an 80-year old, but it’s even cooler to have a grandparent turning 80.
Already looking forward to wishing you a happy 90th birthday, and every year thereafter.
