Grandparents

Seeing your grandparents is one of the most grounding and rewarding things you can do for yourself, and them.
It really brings you back down to earth, you recognise parts of yourself in them and remember that we don't live forever, our youth is not and cannot be sustained forever. Although it can be sad thinking these wonderful people will probably not live for another 50 years, it is easier to understand that with death brings new life and that one day their eyes will be the sand, their skin will be the ocean and their laugh will be the wind.
One day you will look at the world and remember all the beautiful memories with them, you remember them and see them in your everyday life; they have returned back to nature and blossomed into new buds.

Seeing your grandparents really embeds family values into you. The love you received as a child comes bubbling to the surface and all the fights, anguish and disrespect you have had at times towards your parents, dissipates and you suddenly would do absolutely anything in the world for them and everybody else in your life.
Ugliness does not exist; often we see old people and shudder, curse at them or think they're a waste of space, but when you get to connect and have the company of your grandparents it smacks you in the face that you don't really get ugly. Lines and wrinkles in your skin aren't horrible, bags under your eyes aren't disappointing, crooked fingers aren't disgusting. All of those things are beautiful and can just as much be a part of life as shitting your pants is, as an eight-month old.

Somehow, seeing your grandparents brings peace to your core. Your love expedites to everyone and everything.
