For those fortunate enough to have grandparents in their lives, most would agree that they are the best and there's no shortage of reasons - but here's a few:

1. They are your parent’s parents – the big bosses.

Sure, let your parents lay down the law, but never forget to run it by Grandpa. He has great stories about all the times your dad rebelled against their (probably more lenient) rules.

2. They will always be proud of you.

You could drop out of college and they would still say, "It's OK, you did your best," all because Grandma and Grandpa saw that shining light of greatness in your eye as an infant. (It was really just a tear that got stuck.)

3. You can teach them the new things happening in technology.

Grandma, see how you always tell me I look like my mom? Well, the face swap feature on Snapchat begs to differ. It's OK, I'll still update your iPhone 4s for you next time an update comes out.

4. Their house ALWAYS has an open door for you.

So you've graduated college and you're homeless because your parents think you should be an adult by yourself; don't worry Grandma and Gramps have been cleaning their spare bedroom since your first day of freshman year!

5. They have the best stories.

Grandparents grew up through many years of tragedy and have personal stories and experiences to share. Most of them are nothing short of amazing.

6. They will defend you in fights with your parents.

Your grandparents will be the first to remind Mom and Dad about their behavior at your age. Thank you for being a friend.

7. They will always bring you back to reality when things get crazy.

When you accidentally forget to say that things are "wonderful," they will assure you that things will soon turn around and there is nothing to worry about.

8. SO MANY HUGS AND KISSES… no matter how old you get.

No, you shouldn't be embarrassed by the fact that your Grandma still kisses your cheeks like she did when you were a newborn. Nothing is better than the love your grandparents give you, and to your grandparents nothing is better than you!
