Grandparents’ Love: A Bond Beyond Time

Tanisha Cardozo

Written By Nikita Volvoikar

There are all kinds of relationships we build in life—parents, siblings, friends, co-workers—but some are simply irreplaceable. For me, that was the bond I shared with my grandparents. It’s a relationship I still cherish deeply and one that continues to shape who I am.

Growing up with working parents, my brother and I spent most of our time with our grandparents. And while both of us were loved immensely, I won’t deny that I was definitely a little more pampered. They spoiled me—with love, attention, stories, and life lessons.

My Grandpa – My Secret Keeper and Cheerleader

Grandpa, a proud Goan, loved his traditions. I still smile when I remember our quiet adventures—sneaking snacks, watching him enjoy a tiny glass of Urrak in the backyard cottage, and getting caught by Grandma despite our best efforts. He trusted me with his secrets and gave me his unwavering support, even encouraging me to sing in church. The way he looked at me—with pride and love—was everything.

My Grandma – My Superwoman

Grandma was everything: strong yet soft, firm yet incredibly loving. She helped raise me, braid my hair, teach me how to be a responsible, confident woman, and encouraged my passion for cooking. She fed us with stories, comforted us when we were sick, and made sure we were always cared for. Her love wasn’t loud—but it filled every corner of my childhood.

Their Absence, Their Legacy

Watching them grow old broke my heart, and losing them felt like losing a part of myself. Their absence still leaves a void no one can fill. I miss their hands, their hugs, and their voices. But I believe they are watching over me, just as they always did—with love and prayer.

A Message to You

If your grandparents are still with you, treasure them. Listen to them. Hug them more. Forgive them quickly. Their love is a rare kind—pure, selfless, and eternal. And if they’re no longer here, keep praying for them. Because long before you knew yourself, they were praying for you.

Grandparents are a blessing. Love them while you can. Pray for them always.
