Description: Kelsey Lizee Cecil on losing both parents and publishing Rally Takes the Train, the children's book her mom always wanted to write.

Grandparents Day without grandparents often hits parents harder than kids, because you're missing your own mom or dad and the grandparent your children should have had. You can mark it with small things, like her recipe, one story or a memory box for the school art, or let it pass quietly, and both are fine.
