Through their stories, grandchildren expressed their appreciation and love, shared their nostalgic moments, insights and lessons as well as paid tribute to their grandparents for being such an inspiration in their lives. Some also shared their disappointments and regrets.

We hope to create and pass on a shared legacy for future generations of Singaporeans through this compilation of stories and memories.

To My Grandpa/Grandma is organised by the National Library Board (NLB), and supported by the Ministry of Community Development, Youth and Sports (MCYS), Council for Third Age, and the Ministry of Information Communications and the Arts (MICA).
