70 Touching Birthday Wishes for Your Grandma’s Special Day

Even though oldies aren’t always goldies, you can’t help feeling nostalgic when it comes to people that remind you of your childhood. Grandmothers are almost iconic about their sweetness, and they’re often found to symbolize purity and innocence. In stories and movies, they are the ones that tell us fairy tales, the ones that bake cakes, those who kiss us good night, and -well, it’s probably true- the ones who tend to spoil us, making our parents furious.

When it’s grandma’s birthday, sharing some words of love and gratitude is the nicest thing we can do, whether we are going to be by her side or not. Alternatively, especially if distances are too long to be covered, we can share a digital birthday card with her. Hearing from your grandchildren is arguably one of the warmest things to happen to you when you are a grandparent, so receiving birthday wishes from them is a true blessing.
