The force behind National Grandparents Day belongs to Marian McQuade, a housewife in Fayette County, West Virginia. Her primary motivation was to give support for lonely elderly in nursing homes. She also hoped to persuade grandchildren to tap the wisdom and heritage their grandparents could provide. President Jimmy Carter, in 1978, proclaimed that National Grandparents Day would be celebrated every year on the first Sunday after Labor Day.When is Grandparents Day? In 2010, Grandparents Day falls on Sept. 12th -besure to let your grandparents know how much they're loved and show your appreciation for all the love and support they given you, or send someone you know who is alone and without family some much needed joy by sending them a beautiful floral bouquet.
