3 Ways to Celebrate Grandparents Day If You're Living Abroad

September 08, 2022

As born and raised in a Filipino household, we all grew close to our extended family members and most especially our Grandparents. In some cases, our "Lolo and Lola" as we call them, played the role of parenting us, in the absence of our parents. They say “Iba talaga pag alagang Lolo at Lola.” and let’s admit it, we all know how we are being spoiled by them more than our parents did.

Remembering all the memories with them are bittersweet specially if you are living abroad, far from family and home.

This month, we celebrate our grandparents to give thanks for their genuine and unconditional love. Here are 3 things you can do to join the celebration without costing you, even if you’re far from home.

Spend Quality time. As working abroad, we all know how tight and tiring our schedules are. Finding the most convenient time to allot a video call with your grandparents will be surely appreciated by them. Remember, the more they get older, the more sentimental they become and they tend to appreciate every little things we do for them. No efforts are small efforts.
Plan a stay-at-home lunch or dinner surprise. Nowadays, you can now simply arrange a door to door food delivery for the whole family.
