Grandfather's Day: Celebrating the Wisdom and Love of Our Elders

Let's celebrate Grandfather's Day this August 28! Grandfather's Day is a celebration that invites us to reflect on the importance of those who have been pillars in our families: our grandfathers. This date, although not always as well-known as other festivities, has a deep cultural and emotional significance. At Control Terrestre, we greatly value this day, as we recognize the impact that grandfathers have on our families and, therefore, on our communities. Origin of Grandfather's Day The origin of Grandfather's Day varies from country to country, but in most places it is celebrated with the objective of honoring elders for their crucial role in families. In Mexico, for example, Grandfather's Day is celebrated on August 28. This celebration began to gain popularity in the 1980s, although there are records that it was promoted much earlier. It was an initiative promoted by the Mexican government to recognize the contribution of older adults to the country's social fabric. In other countries, such as the United States, National Grandparents Day is celebrated on the first Sunday after Labor Day in September. This festivity was signed as official in 1978 by President Jimmy Carter, thanks to the efforts of Marian McQuade, who advocated for the need to recognize grandparents and their influence on future generations. The Importance of Grandfathers in Our Lives Grandfathers occupy a special place in our lives. They are not only a source of unconditional love, but also of wisdom and experience. Their presence in the family is fundamental, as they are often responsible for transmitting values, traditions, and customs to new generations. Through their stories, they connect us with our roots and offer us a unique perspective on life. In the family context, grandfathers often play crucial roles as caregivers, educators, and counselors. They are the ones who, with their patience and affection, guide us in difficult moments and teach us life lessons that we carry with us forever. This day is an opportunity to give back some of that love and recognition they have given us throughout the years. The Role of Grandfathers in Society and at Control Terrestre At Control Terrestre, we understand that grandfathers are not only fundamental in the family sphere, but also in society in general. Many of them continue to be active and contributing to their communities, whether through volunteer work, community leadership, or simply sharing their wisdom and experience with younger people. As a company, we greatly value the role of grandfathers, as we recognize that they are a bridge between the past and the future. Their knowledge and experience are invaluable in any field, including logistics, where planning and foresight, qualities that many grandfathers possess, are essential. On this Grandfather's Day, we want to highlight the importance of respecting and valuing our elders, not only in our families, but also in the workplace and in society in general. 10 Phrases to Wish Your Grandfather a Happy Day So you can express your love and gratitude to your grandfather on this special day, here are 10 phrases that will surely bring a smile to his face: 'Thank you, grandfather, for being my guide and for teaching me that life is lived with love and wisdom.
