September 13th marked that special day where people from all walks of life took the chance to show their grandmothers and grandfathers how important they are to them, even just for one day. This was evident in the official proclamation on the whitehouse.gov, signed by none other than US President Barack Obama. The legal affirmation also paid tribute to these loving oldies for being the constant pillars in every family and "opening doors of opportunity" for everyone.
Still in the same article, the proclamation reminded of the sacrifices and the gifts of enlightenment handed down from generation to generation. Working values, as well as fundamental examples have been unselfishly shared their unending kindness and love, especially to their grandchildren.
On the other hand, celebrities also took to social media during this momentous occasion and did not shy away from showing love and respect to their own grandparents, according to an article on ibtimes.co.in. Here's what these famous celebrities said of their grandparents:
Katy Perry said of her grandmother Ann Hudson, "My grandmother is in charge of my morals..I do anything wrong, she'll come after me." Her grandmother can mostly be seen by her side whenever she attends those oh-so-important celebrity events.
Miley Cyrus, who has never been short of being the center of media attention, credits her grandmother Loretta Finley with "My grandma is fresh. She's always in jumpsuits, like terry cloth jumpsuits ... I think for a grandma it's pretty cool. Snoop wears 'em. They actually have very similar style."
According to the same article, this is what Rihanna had to say about her grandmother Dolly during an Oprah interview, "She taught me a lot about forgiveness, loving my enemies ... spirituality, faith, strength as a woman ... The one thing she wants me to do is marry someone who loves me more than I love them.." Her grandmother passed away on 2013.
