My second autoethnography is focused on those with grandparents still in their lives and the effect it has on the lives of us, the younger generation. Some have Grandparents that live close others are lucky if they can visit twice a year. Grandparents are filled with years of history and experiences that often goes untold. The stories and backgrounds of our elders in fact, shapes our lives. I decided to dive in and explore, through my interviews, the positive ways having grandparents has changed the lives of kids as well as share my own stories. I am lucky to have three living grandparents with unique relashonships to them all.
Although their contributions and power they have brought to my life is indescribable, the information put in my autoethnography will hopefully open the eyes of many who forget the value of grandparents or simply never realized the large effect they can have on our lives.
