There's something a little extra special about grandpas. They always seem to have a sparkle in their eyes, candy in their pocket, and joy to spare. That's why there are so many Father's Day quotes for grandpas. Because, if you're lucky enough to know your grandpa, you know how much he deserves to be celebrated.
Grandpas are full of stories, wisdom, silly jokes, and so much love. It's like as soon as they see their grandchildren, they're miraculously able to crawl all over the floor (despite their bad knees), pull quarters out of ears, and go on imaginary adventures. If you're a parent yourself, you've probably seen your own dad or father-in-law completely transform once he's on grandpa duty, and that transformation is often quickly followed by uncontrollable giggles coming from your child. It's a rare and special bond.
Whether you're wondering what you can say to your grandpa that encapsulates what he means to you or looking for a way to celebrate your own dad as the grandpa to your children, it can be tricky finding the right words. If you're finding yourself at a loss, here are 15 amazing quotes to help you honor the best grandpa in the world, whether he's your children's grandad or your own.
