My biggest inheritance from you will be all the love you have showered on me all my life.

Grandpa, grandad, grandaddy, gramp and grandpap – I have called you by many names over the years but your presence in my life as a second parent has been constantly the same – nurturing and loving.

My grandpa debunks the myth that old people are supposed to be slow and grumpy.

Your GRAND presence and GRAND advice has made a GRAND difference in my life. Happy birthday to the GRANDfather who has a GRAND impact on everything he touches.

I have always believed that a grandfather is a dad who never punishes me, never shouts at me, never grounds me and always showers me with gifts.

You have filled in my parents’ spot every time they have not been around. This makes you my Parent No. 2, not my grandfather.

Thank God I was born in this family otherwise how would I have ever inherited your awesome genes?

From helping me with homework to helping me get out of being grounded – we are the best partners in crime ever.

If I had my way in the house, you would be my roommate. Happy birthday to the most fun grandad ever.

It is in my blood to be humble and nice, because that’s always been my grandpa’s advice.

I hope I can have the same energy and zest for life that you have right

If I was asked to go back in time and live the life of one person in my family, I would pick you because you inspire me the most.

Having you in my life is like having a best buddy, uncle, father, counselor and a grandparent, all in one.

The best vintage wine of the world may be aged, matured and textured to the finest balance – but so is my grandpa.

I think we both have the perfect partnership. As a grandparent, you love spoil your grandkids and as your grandchild, I love you to be spoiled by you.

Mom never put me in day care because you were always there. I had a happy childhood because we were the most fun pair.

You helped me to walk when I could hardly take a step as a baby. When you become old and fragile, you can count on me to do the same.

Dear grandpa… you may not be the fastest and strongest, but you will always be the cutest and sweetest. You may not be the newest and youngest, but you will always be the coolest and bestest.

For you, babysitting me was never a chore. For me, spending time with you was never a bore. For you, I am your cute little grandkid. For me, you are my grandpa – fun and vivid.
