Whenever I think if Dr. Suess I am reminded of my husband's grandparents. That's right, his grandparents. Not a baby, or a toddler, or a young child, but my husband's eighty-year-old grandparents. They have been married for fifty-five years and they have one of the deepest and most loving relationships I have ever had the pleasure of witnessing.
So why am I reminded of them each time I think of Dr. Seuss? This is why (my cousin-in-law wrote about it in her blog Simple Life Love):
One night she and her husband (who is my husband's cousin) read Did I Ever Tell You How Lucky You Are, which had previously belonged to my husband's grandparents. At the front of the book, was the following inscription:
Is that not the cutest? Especially if you knew this sweet man and the love he has for his adoring wife.
The brilliant Dr. Suess has the ablility to put into words exactly how we are feeling. Such as:
Pied Piper on Etsy allows you to buy a variety of Dr. Suess' wonderful quotes in print form (to hang in most any room of your house). Pied Piper on Etsy is where the magic of life is captured in art form! Art press-prints, cards, and photographer resources that are unique and the envy of all!

Mary-Anne Swift: I admire my grandparents; in particular my grandpa. My grandmother had Alzheimer's for years and years before she passed away, and my grandpa refused to put her in a home. He took care of her up until her last day from their own home they had lived in for 50 plus years. He sat with her everyday while she stared out the window just holding her hand. She couldn't speak anymore, but you could see the love she had for my grandpa in her eyes. Truly an example of eternal love.
Sarah Carpenter: A couple I admired was Pres. Hinckley and his wife they were always so cute and sweet together, what a great love!!

I'd have to say I admire my parents as well. They are all around amazing people.
Courtney Rae Clark: I admire my parents! They are great people and have pushed me through my life. They married as teenagers and made it with 4 children! They even did little things for each other! (like my mom waking up early to put toothpaste on my dads toothbrush.) They did whatever they had to do, like my dad going into the military so he could support my mom and family. (we were poor, but I had no idea cause no one ever told me!) They divored when I was younger but it didnt change a thing. To this day they are still best friends! And we even get together and all have dinner very often!

April Bird; my paternal grandparents, when my grandma, with Alzheimers finally need to be in a nursing home, grandpa would visit for every meal. She didn't show any signs of recognition, but he is the only one she would eat for. He was always so gentle and loving. That is true love at its finest.
Shelley Rollins- I love my sister and brother-in-law. They always try to have fun together and make sure they have a date each week even if it is just dropping the kids off with me to watch while they get groceries by themselves for a half hour.
