Parents and grandparents are only with us for a portion of our lives, so it’s good to spend as much time as we can with them!
Twitter user Mikki Kendall asked people to share their favorite memories with parental figures, and she was not disappointed by the replies. Tweets poured in with charming memories of picking vegetables from the garden with Grandma, learning to fish alongside Granddad, and other wonderful childhood moments that helped these individuals become the adults they are today.
