Ah, lolos and lolas, the ones who've cared for us ever since we were young up until this very day. They know how to make the best food, have the funniest stories, and are our sidekick when it comes to causing a little chaos at home (just don't tell mama and papa!)

They've stuck with us for so long, and yet sometimes, we don't realize just how much time has flown by. The next thing you know, we're all getting a little older, and in turn, a lot busier. Sometimes, we forgot to express our appreciation to the people we love the most.

That's why on Grandparents' Day this August 13, 2026, let's take the opportunity to connect with some of the people who've stuck with us the longest: our lolo and lola! This annual celebration held every second Sunday of August was especially made to remember our dearest grandparents, and you can make a lovely little gesture for them by sending a short message!

If you need a few message ideas or quotes to inspire your greeting for lolo or lola this Grandparents' Day, then look no further. Browse through our curated list of messages below!

"Happy Grandparents' Day, lolo and lola! I remember when I was little—lolo, you would always play with me and make sure I was never bored. Meanwhile, you, lola, would make me my favorite suman to snack on after playtime. The both of you have always looked after me, from my childhood up until now, and I am so grateful for constant care and guidance. I hope you both know how much I truly love and appreciate you."
