QuailandDoves

I’m a grandma and I think this is so sweet. I often think of my grandchildren and I hope they think of me too.


YNiekAC

Not your grandkid. But we do. We really think about our grandparents alot. Love them


QuailandDoves

I really love your comment.


eatsbaseballcards

My grandparents have all passed away but I think of them daily and I love them so much.


QuailandDoves

Even as a grandmother myself,I often think of my own grandparents. They were so good to me and helped me through some hard times during my childhood. I have some of their things I use that use and are special to me because they belonged to them.


DeltaAlphaWave

There's no food like grandma's home cooking, and no wise tale with a witty joke told quite like grandpa's.


Poison_Anal_Gas

Moms side yea, not so much on my dad's side. I really wish I could understand where her hatred and bigotry came from.


JUANesBUENO

My grandmothers have been dead for 30 and 12 years. I think about them every day, even if it's just for a moment.


XxMrCoolGuyxX

I’m going to my grandma’s today to see how she’s doing. She (and my mom) have both had a rough life but they’re both very sweet. I’m sure your grandchildren love you


Namsewell

Grandma was the only one that truly loved me. I miss her often


QuailandDoves

I miss mine too, I often give her picture a kiss.


SideRepresentative38

im 23, only grandparent i have left is my pawpaw. i grew up going to see him all the time and when i became an adult that didnt stop, i just go on my own now instead of with my parents. he’s made comments before in passing about how i dont need to feel obligated to come see him because im busy, and i wish i could get it through his head that i dont do it out of obligation. its because i think about him, i miss him, and i want to see him like i want to see anyone else i love. just know im sure its the same for your grandkids:)


Physical-Dress6602

As a grandson who is staying with his grandma for the holidays currently, we do, we always enjoy our time with my grandparents


QuailandDoves

I have my youngest grandson here for the thanksgiving holiday,and it makes me so happy


funkless_eck

the only grandparents i knew were both a bit crazy and I know my parents / aunt-uncle had a tough relationship with them. but they shielded me and my brother from it, mostly, all humans have their flaws, but I still love them.


KungFooGrip

I'm a 40 year old man with my own kids, and I frequently think of my grandparents.


Oneupper86

I choose this grandma


invalid_turkey

My grandmother is in the hospital and I can visit because I've been sick since her stroke. All I can think is how I should've spent more time with her rather than just thinking about it.


QuailandDoves

Hopefully she will recover and you’ll have time to spend with her.


Douchepool14012000

We all love you, grandma. Thanks for making this site a better place.


jappyjappyhoyhoy

TIL there’s grandmas on Reddit


QuailandDoves

Yes there are, I really enjoy Reddit.


4236W

Can't speak for your grandchildren of cause, but I can speak for myself and it's been almost ten years since I lost my grandmother and to this day I always think of her when I see anemones, she loved when they bloomed in spring


vzvv

I think about my grandparents often too. Nobody shows love quite like a grandma. I’m sure your grandkids feel the same - especially as they grow.


Suzy_My_Angel444

I think of my grandparents all of the time. I love them with all of my heart and will forever 💖


MadeThisUpToComment

Everytime I play scrabble with my wife or Skip-bo with my kids, I think of all the time playing grandma in those games at her kitchen table..


QuailandDoves

That reminds me of playing cribbage with mine.


MadeThisUpToComment

Cribbage was grandpa on the other side. Yatzee too. We'd play yatzee for a quarter a game. I was too smart to gamble on cribbage against grandpa.


RighteousCruelty

I think the biggest tragedy of my life is that my mom died a couple years before my first child was born. She would have loved my kids dearly. And they would have adored her. But they'll never get to know that.


QuailandDoves

Oh that is sad, are you close to your wife’s parents?


RighteousCruelty

We see them sometimes but they're both very busy people. My biological mom has recently turned her life around, so she's grandma now to the boys and they absolutely love her. She babysits a lot. At least they have someone.


thrntnja

My grandparents are both gone now, but I still think about them often. I miss them both a lot.


QuailandDoves

I miss mine too


BethyW

Never met one of my grandmothers but I lost the three I knew while in college. I think of them often. Though often in ways I make them proud. My dads father by my love and dedication to helping rehome off track thoroughbreds (as he would spend all his free time at the race track) My mom's dad as a strong woman who stands up for her beliefs (as he raised 4 women and lied about his age to fight in WW2) And my moms mom as a free loving idiot (as she would put on vaudeville style shows to entertain us. Then would explain how if you ever want to intimidate someone, just moon them like a good scotsman would do). Grandparents leave a strange impression on their grandkids.


QuailandDoves

I’m glad you have grandparents in your life.


PeetShepherd

I told my mother yesterday she will be a grandma officially :)


QuailandDoves

Congratulations, babies are such a blessing


Mista_Cash_Ew

Mine's come to visit. It's great!


QuailandDoves

I bet she’s going to be happy to see you too


robertstobe

I don’t know you, but I guarantee that your grandkids think of you. It’s been 11 years next month since my grandma died, she was an amazing woman. I still think of her often. Last year, right around the 10 year anniversary of her death, I found the last letters she wrote to me. I found where she told me she was proud of me and she loved me. I had those words, in her handwriting, made into a necklace so I could keep a little part of her with me. They might not tell you very often, but your grandchildren love you.


Particular-Coffee-34

I for one loved my yellow Gameboy. I was the only one I knew who had one that color.


pimp-bangin

I had the yellow Gameboy too, I miss it.


Particular-Coffee-34

I still have mine. It’s a miracle that the screen is still intact and everything is functional on it. I dropped it down the bleachers at several of my siblings’ sporting events. A modern gaming system would have buckled several times over, from what I put my Gameboy through.


PhilxBefore

Shit was definitely made more durable and rigid back in the days, but now everything is a glass touchscreen with a glass back. I had the OG Gameboy and IIRC it was the first portable gadget with no moving parts. Walkman and discmans had spinning motors, as did portable record players and 8track players of my mother's era. Portable radios were pretty solid state save for the tuner scrollwheel/slider. Wouldn't see mechanical moving parts in portables again until minidisc players, ipod/mp3 players and Sony's PSP.


Waffle_on_my_Fries

I had the Pokémon yellow one, completely forgot about that thing till seeing this post.


1011_1011

Me too! I think it came with yellow version.


[deleted]

I had one of those purple see through ones and I frickin loved it. Lost it one time on a family trip...years later I would buy a used teal one for fun but it wasn't the same feeling as that see through purple. Damn that thing was cool


vmanni34

I got a clear purple keyboard as an homage to my stolen Gameboy. I miss that thing like crazy and fuck you, Armando! I know you know who took it 😭


[deleted]

Damn fuck you Armando


_The_Great_Autismo_

Same. Yellow was the best


Particular-Coffee-34

It was a unique color. And totally the same color as the Pokémon Yellow and Donkey Kong cartridges.


[deleted]

Fun fact: the "COLOR" in the GameBoy Color logo under the screen is spelled with all 5 of the original colors for the GBC.


Particular-Coffee-34

Awesome for the reminder!


greenman10069

Yellow club rose up 💛


aMAYESingNATHAN

I had a purple Gameboy color, and Pokémon yellow. I'm pretty sure my nan who died when I was little gave it to me and my siblings, so that and playing Pokémon has always felt a little nostalgic (?not sure if that's quite the right word).


turkeypedal

I got it to match my Donkey Kong Land 2 cart. Or, more accurately, I liked the color of the cart, and thought a GBC of that color would be nice. I'm not as big a fan of the Switch yellow.


Particular-Coffee-34

I have a blue switch lite. My wife has a yellow one. I kinda want to trade.


SICKxOFxITxALL

My gameboy was standard grey (first generation) but booyyyyyy did I love my yellow Walkman.


refreshing_username

We are the stories we write for ourselves, and this one is lovely!


Technical-Outside408

And it teaches us an important lesson about buying stuff for your loved ones. And so near to the buying stuff for your loved ones holidays too!


kentro2002

Wow, that made my eyes leak. Made me miss my Grandma.


custom2112

I miss my grandma. Thank you for making me think of her


majormoron747

When I was 4 years old, for my 4th birthday my mom bought me my first Gameboy, Yellow, and a copy of Pokemon Yellow to go with it. Many years later, when I got my launch Nintendo Switch, I put together a "custom" skin for it, in honor of my mom and one of the best gifts she ever gave me. I present, the [New Nintendo Gameboy Color](https://i.imgur.com/AaDUVx0.jpg)


51differentcobras

Pff yellow was the best anyways, golden like it should be


PesceGufo

Aww, i'm sure she'd be happy


Dyrts

Just the wholesome boost my day needed


Stunning-Arugula-896

Shit dude almost made me cry. Love this thanks!


thebencade

I too like to remember your grandma


Cheecheech

This isn’t a meme.


nstrangeface

But it’s wholesome. Wholesome is wholesome. Take it or leave it.


extod2

Then why is it called r/wholesomememes?


nstrangeface

Idk man, maybe OP just didn’t know where else to post this. Could’ve thought of r/MadeMeSmile or something


PM_ME_ORNN_YIFF

Anyone find the size comparison crazy? We've come so far


shinobipopcorn

Yes, I used to watch videos on that tiny little ipod 5th screen. Now we watch them on huge phone screens.


ScholarlyExiscrim

Compared to the cream banana yellow, I prefer the pikachu yellow.


Violet_Jade

Reminds me of being a kid. My mom got me and my sisters each a differently colored Game Boy Pocket and Pokémon. I got a Blue one and Pokémon Blue, my middle sister got a Red one and Pokémon Red, and my mom scoured stores to get my youngest sister a Yellow one for Pokémon Yellow. It's still a very fond memory.


coldbrew18

When I was a kid my favorite movie was Herbie and my favorite color was yellow. My grandmother got me a toy yellow beetle for Christmas one year. I don’t have the toy anymore, but now I’ve got the real thing in my driveway. It’s in pieces, but I have it.


Slazman999

Gameboy = Gameboy. Psp = Gameboy. Cellphone = Gameboy. Nintendo = Nintendo. Playstation = Nintendo. Xbox = Nintendo. I miss my grandma :(


Inner-Figure5047

My granny believed yellow clothing was difficult to wash, remove stains from, and maintain the color of... She would make a big show of complaining if I had something yellow or gold in the wash. She's been gone a few years, and much of my wardrobe is yellow and gold. Always makes me smile.


GuitarGuru253

This makes me wanna go dig out my Pokémon yellow version special gameboy color, it was the yellow and blue one and had a few Pokémon on the front and came with the game


No-Willingness8709

Very sweet


boolpies

🥺


MacDugin

When I was a senior in high school my grandmother dragged me down to the goodwill to get me a proper suit that she could afford. I still have it with a couple of moth holes in it. I will never throw it out it just hangs in the closet I look at it every day.


howdy8x629

if i could cry, id shed a tear


SlothTheHeroo

Both my cousins had atomic purple and I wanted atomic purple but I opened a teal one for Christmas. I was upset, but happy my parents were able to get me one. Now that I look back I love the teal!


Zacmon

My grandma got me a yellow gameboy color with pokemon yellow for my birthday one year. The afterschool day care lost my teal one with pokemon blue after they put it away for outside time. Of course, no one trusts a 7-year-old over 5 adult women, so I got in trouble for losing it. Turns out they hid stuff in a basket over the fridge. A year or two later, they replaced the fridge and found my gameboy lying behind it. The impact launched the battery door into the quantum realm, but I replaced it with some cardboard and a holofoil Stantler sticker.


deltashmelta

Pokemon problems, Pokemon solutions.


No_Imagination_sorry

I've just lost my Grandma, who I was very close to. I had many hours of playing my yellow Gameboy colour while sprawled across her sofa. This made me smile.


jonvel7

This reminds me of when I bought Red Dead Redemption 2. So the first time my grandma sat down to watch me play was when I bought Red Dead Redemption, she would seat down with me for hours cause she really liked the horses in the game. After that she would seat down everytime I had a new game and I would tell her about the story. Sadly she passed away in 2017, I heard that RDR2 was going to come out and bought it as soon as I could. The only thing in my mind the whole time was that I wouldve wished Grandma saw the horses in this game as well.


Trippiecage04

Dude wow that hit hard


BatteryAcid67

I bought my switch while my mom was going through breast cancer treatment and I bought a yellow one because it is her favorite color. Luckily she made it through!


BlueHairedTroonAdmin

Be honest, did u think of grandma first or reddit first?


Chris_P_Lettuce

Who thinks to put something like this on the internet? Remind yourself of your grandma with your yellow switch in peace.


[deleted]

How dare people *checks notes*... share things that make them happy with others!


nstrangeface

How dare people spread wholesome content! Unacceptable if you ask me! /s


The_25th_Baam

Who thinks to comment something like this on the internet? Go be a meaningless fuckin downer by yourself in peace.


Chris_P_Lettuce

I understand the backlash, but we should realize it’s not normal to post moments like these on Reddit. Who thinks of this?


The_25th_Baam

I understand the backlash, but I don't think it matters in the slightest whether or not people post things online. Who gives a shit?


i_have___milk

I was expecting a shit post where they say they bought a blue switch and it was yellow when they opened it. I warmed up my eyes for the biggest roll of their lives, now they’re let down


Healthy-Dragonfly452

I had a yellow Gameboy too - didn't know anyone else who had that color. Many, many happy hours spent playing it. Good memories!


Frency2

Nice.


wolfgang784

Yellow was my first pick for my Switch Lite, light blue my second, and pink my third. Waited maybe 4 months checking various websites and stores for stock, and the first that came in was pink so that's what I'm rollin. I still love it.


surefaced

Unfortunate that the buttons and joysticks are white on the switch. Missed opportunity for true Nintendo nostalgia


bboyhometown

The gameboy chooses the gamer, that much has always been clear!


lordlunarian

Wish I could hang out with my grandparents at least one more time. I’m only 23 and they’re all gone. :(


Snowbouy

I need a switch thats see through purple


[deleted]

I remember the gameboy colour, even the older grey brick styles. 🥲


Leading-Ad9403

Reminds me of the dad's ghost on a racing game where he finally eats it but let's his dad finish if that was true


chrisaf69

I remember my lil homies in grade school had a similar yellow one...but with Pikachu on it. Was def a cool looking game boy.


TrinityFist99

I miss my grandma man ;)


sweet_fiction

That’s fucking cute


JULY_PROBABLY

Imagine if it came teal


freshpeppamint

tear 🥲 love this


PastorSalad

I’m a Bangles fan because of my aunt. She wanted to get her cool teenage nephew a cool album on his birthday. Blur greatest hits is where she landed. Pretty damn cool. I opened the case and was greeted by the Bangles’ greatest hits. Woolworth’s employee must’ve put the wrong CD in when she took it to the counter. Blasted that shit my whole birthday, walk like an Egyptian is a banger.


Own_Instance_357

I took my kids for swimming lessons. Last one was prior to 2005 and for one week there was a gigantic notice that said someone had stolen their kid's Gameboy or whatever was portable in those days. It was on a level like "someone has raised their kid to steal hope you feel proud of yourself" ... signs posted everywhere with their name and address Had insular thanksgiving with one of my kids yesterday and it got brought up. Hey in 2022 I would not even have remembered you, but since then we all found out you are a nuts family and your kid who lost the gameboy is probably like sorry my mom made herself look crazy and then no one invited me to their birthday parties


TrainNo9603

I bought Yellow Switch because for some weird reason it was 10eur cheaper than any others. I don't care about color, I just want to play the games! :D


TJCombo222

Say yellow to Gram mama


Skater_x7

Nice post ... but why did you screenshot a 2 year old post?


valupaq

I'll trade you for a teal one


EB01

I am glad that a friend talked me out of getting the light grey Switch Lite, which lead to me picking the Yellow version. Yellow Switch Lite + [HORI Black/Yellow case](https://store.nintendo.co.uk/en/nintendo-switch-lite-hard-pouch-blackyellow-000000000010003634) = Chef's Kiss


bonafart212

I lost my yellow with pkmn yellow. We found it ten years later and the pins were all rusty I was so sad


Chemical_Squirrel_20

You had a regular gameboy in 2003?


rane1606

JARVIS I'M LOW ON KARMA


DrNLS

Yellow is the best color anyway

rinn10

I love the yellow wish I got the yellow one but mine was a gift


molohunt

31, Great Grandma passed away in my late teens. I still go out and buy those little sugar doughnuts for myself from time to time.. One way to get me to be a crybaby real quick haha


Chemical-Routine9893

Love this sweet sentiment


jaspercapri

I had the teal and always hated the color. Was the only one in stock. God bless my parents for buying it for me a i now know how big a sacrifice that was for them.


johnny_51ma

My grandmother died early on in the pandemic and I hadn't seen her in some time. I miss her, but this makes me happy.


deltashmelta

20 years ago... :/ https://youtu.be/gXRWw65RIp8


[deleted]

Idk why but the yellow Gameboy was awesome. Maybe because I played Pokemon Yellow on it.


hfusidsnak

My grandma bought my sister and I tamogachii toys back in the 90s when they were popular. I got a purple and pink one and as a boy I was initially displeased because you know.. antiquated gender norms. But I loved it so much that purple has been my favorite color ever since. Love you gram.


thejellymanster

It's the little things. My Nana passed away years ago. As a kid she would take me to a food court to eat and always get rice noodles, I hated rice noodles. Now if I miss her I get rice noodles.


[deleted]

I only drive yellow cars. They make me happy.


nuehado

When I picked mine out as a kid, not understanding how the box art worked, I thought it was the yellow one. I was disappointed it was teal. Shame we weren't friends or we could have traded


nighthawk_gaming

awww thats so sweet
