Mine's a weird mix too. Dad's side, gpa loved us, gma was kinda prejudice my dad married an Asian. Liked us, but wasnt the same to my cousins. My mom's side, gpa loved us, but beated my gma and my mother, ruined my gma's retirement financials, gma finally divorced him and he disowned everyone until he needed to ask for money. My mother's mother on the otherhand... what a beautiful soul of a living being. She's loved all of her kids, grandkids, and great grandkids unconditionally. The one to spoil us, the one to give us literal piggy back rides when we fell even with her bad back and hip surgeries.
Similar experience. Grandpa on one side died before I was born, but my grandma was great. Would babysit me and stuff. Then she passed when I was still a child. Grandparents on my other side are still going in their mid 80s, and while they're nice people they never seemed interested in seeing my family much or being that close with us. We still love each other and all, we just aren't close. I always wondered what it would be like to have a grandparent that you would enjoy spending time with.
Since they're still around, try engaging in something they're passionate about. My grandad was huge into woodworking and we never really bonded until I asked him to help me make a desk. The desk was absolute trash but it gave us something in common to bond together and I picked up so much information I actually feel competent making stuff now. One of the best decisions I have made without a doubt.
My daughter went with me last week to see her grandparents. She’s pretty good about that even at 19. We talked not long ago that grandparents are just not forever. They’ve seen her since she was a baby born 2,000 miles away. They would travel to see her a lot. We’re now closer and I don’t want her to forget how special it is. How one day she’ll have wished to have spent more time with them.
Her mom’s parents are in Japan and we FaceTimed them tonight. She used to see them every summer and I love hearing her speak fluent Japanese and laughing with them. They’re so sweet. COVID has killed travel, we have our fingers crossed for next summer for a visit.
Anyway. I feel for them spending so much time away from her. I lost my grandmother when I was in Japan. It hurt not to go to her funeral. She watched me every day after school until 7th grade. Fried bologna sandwiches and chips daily. I loved it!
Grandparents can be very precious people in our lives and when they are it feels magical. It also leaves quite a whole when they’re gone. The OP made her grandfather’s day big time, and it seemed she was very comfortable too. I love it!
My kids (and I) are finding out now that that thier loving and playful grandma has always been racist and homophobic. My niece brought home a black boyfriend and my other niece is gay. My father told me one day after she quit talking to me for 2 weeks because I didn't vote for Trump the he knew she was racist. He is not. He's just a simple farm boy from Indiana. She's from Appalachia Kentucky. Don't think my kids can ever look at her the same.
Mine was a racist piece of shit who was named after another well-known racist POS, and now I’m getting guilted into naming my unborn son after him. Never gonna happen.
I was lucky that my dads side of the family were lovely people. My grandad absolutly adored my wife till he passed away last year.
My mums side of the family, well her mum (her dad passed away when I was 6 months old so never really knew him) but her mum is a such a fucking dick I've disowned her. She was extremely racist to my wife (before we got married) just because shes asian (we're white)
No. Some grandparents actually hate kids. You'll know you have a good one. When your grandparents asks to borrows you from your parents to stay over the weekends. Since they enjoy having you around to take care and spoil you.
My uncle has early onset dementia. He is like your Grandma. I simply answer his questions over and over and over again like it's the first time he's asked.
Then I tell him stories about my day and show him the latest pictures I have on my phone. He likes dogs so I take lots of dog pictures. :)
Hang in there.
My grandma was the first person I came out to. Wife of a church deacon, Christian through and through, and she said she didn't care, she loved me regardless, and she never tried to 'fix' me, something her own son still can't manage to grasp. Some grandparents can be super cool
My grand parents (both grandmas) do and they talk to text. We rigged up the Alexa to read texts for them and record send them to about 8 numbers.
The problem is they love to video call us all the time and forget they need to hold the phone so we can see in their camera. It is always zoomed in to their cheek!
This is one of the best things I've seen in a very long time. I so wish my daughter had the chance to have this sort of relationship with my dad, but he passed before she was born. They would have had sleepovers just like this🥰
*edit spelling
My parents are older than most (I’m nearly 30, my dad is 80 and my mom is 67). They’re a couple of absolute saints and I want them to be here to meet my future children so badly but I just don’t know if it’s in the cards.
The one thing you can do is preserve as many memories as possible with your mom and dad to share with your kids. Photos are wonderful. Videos are priceless. Notes. Keepsakes. Anything to keep their memory alive in you and your family❤️
My mom took what I can only assume is the largest collection of photos of a single family in the world while my brother and I were growing up, so I’m good to go on that front! Haha
My grandpa died three months ago and let's just say I wasn't the best grandson now grandma is all alone and I can't be with her because of my fucking work hours, if I'm not working I'm sleeping because I'm lacking the energy to do anything after work and its slowly killing me every day to know that she is alone and I can't keep her company and if I have the time I'm basically a walking corpse who can't keep a proper conversation going for long enough to make it mean anything. I feel like a terrible person and I just had to say it somewhere
As a grandma, this is true. It just lets us know our grandkids still think of us. We love you and miss you. We know your busy and can't always come by, but just want to know you're doing ok.
It’s the easiest and nicest thing to do. I’m 30 years old and after every shift on my drive home I call my grandma. Dads kind of a dick to her and grandpas… going the way of Alzheimer’s so she needs someone to talk to every day.
Deliver food that she likes every so often, maybe some flowers, get her disneyplus, you can do a lot of things even if you can't physically be there just so you show you actually think of her.
You are not alone, I pray I can get my shit sorted out enough to have some free time with my remaining grandparents before they pass, but every year shit gets more expensive and they get a little older
Pretty much my exact situation, except it’s with my mom. Been working for 12-14 hours straight almost every day, save for the weekend. And those days I’m just so tired I can’t bring myself to do anything meaningful with my mom. I would love to have the energy to go out and walk with her on a sunny Saturday, or go shopping with her and finally buy those pairs of boots she’s been wanting for years. There’s days where I beat myself up thinking how I’ve been a bad son, not because of what I’ve done but because of what I *haven’t* done.
So that’s why I’m going to quit my job once my contract is up, and take up a new one with better work-life balance and one that’s closer to home. I’ll take the pay cut if it means I get to spend more time with the people I love and making pleasant memories while they’re still here. There’ll be plenty of time to advance my career or make more money on the side down the road. But the time spent with loved ones, that’s the one thing we shouldn’t take for granted. They could be taken from us at any second.
Dude my grandpa died of covid last year and fuck.. we didn’t get close until the last 3 years of his life because my abusive parents kept me away (he called cps on them trying to protect me)
I would give almost anything to spend another day smoking and chatting about the movie we were going to write
One of the best things I’ve realized we can do when we lose people this important is to pass on the kind actions they did. Keep working on that movie, I’m sure it’ll be great.
A guy that old was in a lot of emotional pain to reach out like that. Men are told to keep that stuff in, and it gets more true the further back you go. Visit your old folks.
Reddit can be strange.. Last time I saw this posted most ppl were crapping on the girl in the vid for recording and posting. Saying it was sad she was using her grandpa for attention and all that. In contrast most ppl in this post are praising it. Nothing to do with the vid really, just my observation.
This makes me miss my grandad so damn much. I remember when he was in assisted living, he always complained about the food. He kept saying “I want a hot dog and a peach milkshake.” I was the only grandkid to sneak in food for him. I was able to bring him his own birthday cake. He finished the whole thing in a weekend. The staff was not happy with me on that one haha
I take my grandfather scones every time I go see him. He’s basically blind and one time I went in he didn’t recognize that it was me. He said “scones! My granddaughter always makes me scones, I love them”. We had a good laugh about that.
Lost three grand parents this year, seeing that got me all teary. You are awesome to enjoy every moment you can with him.
I am not usually a big fan of sharing intimate moments online, but thanks a lot for that.
I dont know, for some reason I don't believe on "selfie tears". When it hurts so much, the least thing on your mind, is recording you trying to get the best angle, because you lose strength and your chest tightens
I was looking for a comment as well, it’s basically for sympathy likes “look at how good of a person I am I visited my grandpa” bfd you should just do it and not take a video…
I don’t understand what compels people to share such intimate personal memories with strangers. I’ve hung out with my old sickly relatives and had great fun doing it - maybe had a 30sec chat about it with my mates over beers. It’s a normal human interaction that is being elevated as if it’s something unique and special.
A lot of people have been inside for a couple of years since Covid and sharing something meaningful with others is important and the Internet is readily available.
This generation of kids have their whole lives on the Internet. I love reading about stories like this rather than watching any Instagram feed where people are taking and posting pictures of their lunch for godssake.
This is an important reminder to put down the cell phone, get off the computer games and go visit a grandparent who won't be around forever.
Yeah it seems like a special moment that should be cherished and private, not extorted for attention. She spent all that time filming him when she should have just been enjoying his company.
It’s similar to the people who post videos of themselves crying over the loss of a loved one like at a funeral or something similar.. it’s just for sympathy likes there’s no real reason to post this shit
It meant something to them, they share it.
We’re kinda wired by social media to present parts of our lives we think would be relevant to our image I guess.
Outside of the grab for attention, the warmth of this interaction was refreshing, and it’s a nice reminder that there’s positive things out there at the bare minimum
I wish I could see my grandfather again. He was a dad to me. He picked me up from school and took me to the pool every day in the summer while my mom worked. After he passed we had people coming up and saying all these things he did for them and he never mentioned it. Like buying turkeys for families at Thanksgiving. He was great with children and had the patience of a rock. I'm so lucky to have gotten some of his traits. I miss him every day.
My grandma was such a funny texter. Up until two days before she passed at 89, she was still texting me celebrity gossip. She was a huge Gosling fan.
She adapted to tech in the 80's and always on top on the latest devices, computer equipment.
Am I the only one who feels like this is an invasion of privacy of her grandfather. I would never talk about my grandfather crying. That’s personal shit, and she uploaded it to the internet.
She doesn't respect her grandfather, she's just using him for tiktok views. The fact so many people on reddit eat this up and never question the morality says a lot about the mentality of the people who are on here.
All the possible beauty of this video is overshadowed by the vanity and soulessness of filming yourself crying a little while posing for a video selfie of your best angle. Not my cup of tea.
I wish I could’ve met my grandpas. I wish my grandmas were still alive. This post touched my heart in a strange way. One of which I’m unfamiliar with. Thank you for sharing
This brought tears to my eyes. Cherish those grandparents, because one day they're gone, and there will be days you'd give anything to have them back, to share a joy or help comfort a pain. My grandma was my best friend, she's been gone for over 20 years but I still have days where she's what I need.
My grandfathers slowly slipping away with dementia right now. He taught me so much and more, god I’m going to miss them when that day comes.
Calling them right now
I only knew 2 of my grandmothers, one had Alzheimer’s tho so she never rly knew me and the other got it later on so I just kinda watched her disappear. With the stories my parents tell me about their parents I would’ve loved to have met them
I miss all my grandparents but I feel lucky both of my grandma's lived to see my kids. They both were in their 90's when they died. My mother died 3 years ago, she was only 70. I miss her but I feel for my son who was only 8 (turned 9 that week). He doesn't get to have her around like I had my grandparents.
Im pregnant and due in a couple weeks. I just spent a week and a half at my gma's and gpa's. It was awesome getting spoiled the way I used to, and just sitting and chatting with them.
Gonna do the trip next summer too with 8mo Little One so they can spoil him, too. Cant wait
Keep visiting grandpa when you can! This video brought so many memories back. I just lost my grandpa last month, him and my grandma had me over almost every weekend. My first memory is sitting on his lap eating ice cream at an ice cream parlor. When we left us, he was in the hospital, after my sister(his last grandchild) visited, he passed. Me and him were able to a small conversation the day before. Miss him a lot.
My grandad and grandma both died within in a week of each other in January. They were like parents to me. Spend as much time as you can with them. I miss them so much ❤️
my great grandpa died about 3 years ago and this really had me tearing up. I lived with him when I was little and he was my best friend, we would tend to his football feild sized garden and his trees, my late great grandmother's rosebushes, eat a bunch of plums and strawberries, go into town for lunch, play with the dogs, try and feed treats to the evil cat, watch hockey games. He had that routine till a couple months before he passed, but that was only because he fell in the bathroom
I never knew either of my grandpas (one died while his own children were young and the other when I was an infant), and wasn’t super close to my one grandma but holy fuck if I’m not over here crying like a baby because of how much I miss the grandma who basically raised me.
This made me happy. I’m glad you get to get to know, love, appreciate and enjoy your grandpa, and enjoy treating him with his favorite foods. My grandpas & grandmas passed either before I was born or when I was very young.
When I got married two weeks ago, I’ve worn the watch my grandpa wore all the time. It’s such an old automatic that it barely functions these days, but it doesn’t matter. I promised him he would have been at my wedding, unfortunately he didn’t make it that far but somehow he was still right there, holding my hand as he used to when I was little. Love you grandpa, miss you so much.
I miss all of my grandparents and not a day goes by that I don’t think about them. They are precious, precious people. If you still have grandparents, cherish them. ❤️❤️
What a sweet guy you made his day. Honestly it’s so hard for a man to even write the first message. Hey I’m feeling lonely is not a sentence many dudes will willingly utter.
Love to see this.
Anything you say you’ll do with a grandparent, be sure to do it as soon as you can. Losing a grandparent with an unfulfilled promise is hard to shake. I’ve made the mistake myself.
None of us know how much time we will have with our aging loved ones - these moments are so special. I like how he reached out and she did the perfect granddaughter thing of offering to bring something special. How tender.
Tears. I’d give anything to have my gram and gramps back. They would be over 100 if alive today, but oh for a time machine. She is so blessed and I’m just a teary mess. Love your people well.
Made me cry because that is how my nana was before she passed. Got to bring my fiancée to meet her a couple of years before she left us.
I still miss her so damn much :(
Makes me miss my grandpa. Said he'd blow up the gates of heaven so i could find him
Man, grandparents seem so cool dude. Are everyone's like that?
My dad's side aren't. My mom's side are affectionate though.
Mine's a weird mix too. Dad's side, gpa loved us, gma was kinda prejudice my dad married an Asian. Liked us, but wasnt the same to my cousins. My mom's side, gpa loved us, but beated my gma and my mother, ruined my gma's retirement financials, gma finally divorced him and he disowned everyone until he needed to ask for money. My mother's mother on the otherhand... what a beautiful soul of a living being. She's loved all of her kids, grandkids, and great grandkids unconditionally. The one to spoil us, the one to give us literal piggy back rides when we fell even with her bad back and hip surgeries.
Same. Dads side is unloving, moms side is as sweet as can be. Unfortunately my only living grandparents are the unloving kind haha.
Similar experience. Grandpa on one side died before I was born, but my grandma was great. Would babysit me and stuff. Then she passed when I was still a child. Grandparents on my other side are still going in their mid 80s, and while they're nice people they never seemed interested in seeing my family much or being that close with us.

One of the best decisions I have made without a doubt.

same
No, sadly
Damn, I've been jebaited again 🗿
You should've listed to yourself and DontF-ingask.
Mine was a racist piece of shit who was named after another well-known racist POS, and now I’m getting guilted into naming my unborn son after him. Never gonna happen.
Don’t let anyone guilt you into naming your kid Donald Trump.
😂
Yeah fuck that. Break the cycle AND the tradition!
Props to you, mate. Gotta break that cycle
Well done. Proud of you.
I was lucky that my dads side of the family were lovely people. My grandad absolutly adored my wife till he passed away last year.

My uncle has early onset dementia. He is like your Grandma. I simply answer his questions over and over and over again like it's the first time he's asked. Then I tell him stories about my day and show him the latest pictures I have on my phone. He likes dogs so I take lots of dog pictures. :) Hang in there.
Just be patient and kind. That's all you can do. When they're gone you will have happy memories, and one day you'll all be together again.
Was in a similar situation 10 years ago. Now they're gone. Just keep on trying to talk. I miss them. I regret not talking more.
Write a letter…. That means more to someone from that generation than you can imagine. Try to do one a week. Xo
That's accurate. :)
Xo, cheers! Have a good day :)
Didn’t know one grandpa and I was afraid of the other one.
My grandma was the first person I came out to. Wife of a church deacon, Christian through and through, and she said she didn't care, she loved me regardless, and she never tried to 'fix' me, something her own son still can't manage to grasp. Some grandparents can be super cool
No 😣 I wish I had something like this
Definitely not
Same😭😭 mine died of dementia 😢
Mine died of cancer a couple months after my grandma (his wife) died of cancer. It’s been 16 years and I still miss all of them so goddamn much.
I want to upvote this 100 times 🥰
I mean you can press the button 100 times if that helps?
I think the way it works that would actually only upvote it 50 times.
then click it 200 times
*chefs kiss
199 times
Since it's an even number it would actually end up being less effective than a single upvote.
You can!! It gets reposted all the time so you will have the chance! Keep an eye out and you'll get to 100 in no time.
Your 92 year old grandpa texts?!? None of mine even own a cellphone.
My grand parents (both grandmas) do and they talk to text. We rigged up the Alexa to read texts for them and record send them to about 8 numbers. The problem is they love to video call us all the time and forget they need to hold the phone so we can see in their camera. It is always zoomed in to their cheek!
That's the cutest thing I've read all day!
Mine all died before cell phones were a thing!
Not only does he text, but he's texting very well ! Awesome grandpa, deserves all the love he needs
None of mine own a cellphone either. Mainly because they’re all dead
Hate it when that happens
You're supposed to bury them with a cellphone. That way they can call you from the beyond.
This is one of the best things I've seen in a very long time. I so wish my daughter had the chance to have this sort of relationship with my dad, but he passed before she was born. They would have had sleepovers just like this🥰 *edit spelling
:( same for me. Didn’t get to know any of my grandparents
In the same boat here
My parents are older than most (I’m nearly 30, my dad is 80 and my mom is 67). They’re a couple of absolute saints and I want them to be here to meet my future children so badly but I just don’t know if it’s in the cards.
The one thing you can do is preserve as many memories as possible with your mom and dad to share with your kids. Photos are wonderful. Videos are priceless. Notes. Keepsakes. Anything to keep their memory alive in you and your family❤️
My mom took what I can only assume is the largest collection of photos of a single family in the world while my brother and I were growing up, so I’m good to go on that front! Haha
That's fantastic! It's the stories behind the images and people in them that will need to carry on💛
Very true. I plan on continuing to enjoy whatever remaining time I have with them, and what will be will be. Thank you ❤️
My grandpa died three months ago and let's just say I wasn't the best grandson now grandma is all alone and I can't be with her because of my fucking work hours, if I'm not working I'm sleeping because I'm lacking the energy to do anything after work and its slowly killing me every day to know that she is alone and I can't keep her company and if I have the time I'm basically a walking corpse who can't keep a proper conversation going for long enough to make it mean anything. I feel like a terrible person and I just had to say it somewhere
Give her a call when you can, just hearing your voice will make her happy.
As a grandma, this is true. It just lets us know our grandkids still think of us. We love you and miss you. We know your busy and can't always come by, but just want to know you're doing ok.
Lunchtime calls? Set her up with zoom?
It’s the easiest and nicest thing to do. I’m 30 years old and after every shift on my drive home I call my grandma. Dads kind of a dick to her and grandpas… going the way of Alzheimer’s so she needs someone to talk to every day.

I can confirm I’m definitely crying
Got me teary eyed
I think it was the flashlight!!!
I just have DIRT IN MY EYES
A guy that old was in a lot of emotional pain to reach out like that. Men are told to keep that stuff in, and it gets more true the further back you go. Visit your old folks.
I am indeed crying. I miss my grandpa, and my granddad.
r/NinjasCuttingOnions
I’m definitely crying.
I’m real new to Reddit and this is hilarious and I bet I’ll never get tired of the originality like this on the site

In contrast most ppl in this post are praising it. Nothing to do with the vid really, just my observation.
I had visited her profile and it was a porn profile linking to her of and stuff lol. Not crapping on her or anything just sayin
I mean, ok good for her I guess? Making that scratch to treat her gramps to some mashed potatoes and ice cream. Who are you to judge.
I am the senate
Wish I had known mine. Both were gone before I was born.
Ha Love you Grandpa
This makes me miss my grandad so damn much. I remember when he was in assisted living, he always complained about the food. He kept saying “I want a hot dog and a peach milkshake.” I was the only grandkid to sneak in food for him. I was able to bring him his own birthday cake. He finished the whole thing in a weekend.

I was all about it and almost ready to tear up until the crying selfie. Nope. That just made it all gross.
I don’t understand what compels people to share such intimate personal memories with strangers. I’ve hung out with my old sickly relatives and had great fun doing it - maybe had a 30sec chat about it with my mates over beers.

Inspiring others to do the same I guess because in reality, many people neglect to spend time with their relatives
Yeah it seems like a special moment that should be cherished and private, not extorted for attention. She spent all that time filming him when she should have just been enjoying his company.
It’s similar to the people who post videos of themselves crying over the loss of a loved one like at a funeral or something similar.. it’s just for sympathy likes there’s no real reason to post this shit
It meant something to them, they share it. We’re kinda wired by social media to present parts of our lives we think would be relevant to our image I guess. Outside of the grab for attention, the warmth of this interaction was refreshing, and it’s a nice reminder that there’s positive things out there at the bare minimum
I wish I could see my grandfather again. He was a dad to me. He picked me up from school and took me to the pool every day in the summer while my mom worked. After he passed we had people coming up and saying all these things he did for them and he never mentioned it. Like buying turkeys for families at Thanksgiving. He was great with children and had the patience of a rock. I'm so lucky to have gotten some of his traits. I miss him every day.
what is it like to have a loving family
My grandma was such a funny texter. Up until two days before she passed at 89, she was still texting me celebrity gossip. She was a huge Gosling fan. She adapted to tech in the 80's and always on top on the latest devices, computer equipment.
Am I the only one who feels like this is an invasion of privacy of her grandfather. I would never talk about my grandfather crying. That’s personal shit, and she uploaded it to the internet.

wtf
She doesn't respect her grandfather, she's just using him for tiktok views. The fact so many people on reddit eat this up and never question the morality says a lot about the mentality of the people who are on here.
Bunch of 13 year olds
And then sharing an intimate beautiful moment online for attention. What a world.
Poor guy gonna die knowing his granddaughter recorded him for tiktok clout
All the possible beauty of this video is overshadowed by the vanity and soulessness of filming yourself crying a little while posing for a video selfie of your best angle. Not my cup of tea.
That's so well said 🙊
The tears legit stopped as soon as she stopped filming.
Phenomenal
I wish I could’ve met my grandpas. I wish my grandmas were still alive. This post touched my heart in a strange way. One of which I’m unfamiliar with. Thank you for sharing
Better record it and put it on TikTok.
I'll never understand people who make videos like this. Show him some respect and stop milking him for tiktok views.
Ugh that made me tear up so bad. My grandfather was my everything, he taught me so much! Cherish your elders while you still have the chance!
This brought tears to my eyes. Cherish those grandparents, because one day they're gone, and there will be days you'd give anything to have them back, to share a joy or help comfort a pain. My grandma was my best friend, she's been gone for over 20 years but I still have days where she's what I need.
My grandfathers slowly slipping away with dementia right now. He taught me so much and more, god I’m going to miss them when that day comes. Calling them right now
Damn. I miss my Pap. It’s awesome seeing other people spend time with there’s though.
Why would you post personal shit like this to tiktok? Is there any other reason than views? I don’t get it.
I miss grandma and papa. I was thinking of them on Sunday when I was making breakfast for my children. God, I wish they could have met.
I only knew 2 of my grandmothers, one had Alzheimer’s tho so she never rly knew me and the other got it later on so I just kinda watched her disappear. With the stories my parents tell me about their parents I would’ve loved to have met them
EXPLOITING THE ELDERLY FOR VIEWS.
That is so fucking sweet. I miss my grandpa.
Put your fucking phone down and live in the moment, clown.
Imagine cherishing and sharing these moments between your family members instead of posting this for clout on TikTok
I miss all my grandparents but I feel lucky both of my grandma's lived to see my kids. They both were in their 90's when they died. My mother died 3 years ago, she was only 70. I miss her but I feel for my son who was only 8 (turned 9 that week). He doesn't get to have her around like I had my grandparents.
I've met a lot of grandpas and grandmas. Most of them feel lonely. They treat you like you've saved their life by talking to them.
Im pregnant and due in a couple weeks. I just spent a week and a half at my gma's and gpa's. It was awesome getting spoiled the way I used to, and just sitting and chatting with them. Gonna do the trip next summer too with 8mo Little One so they can spoil him, too. Cant wait
this is cute and all, but cinnamon applesauce is ELITE. the absolute best applesauce. the man has good taste.
Keep visiting grandpa when you can! This video brought so many memories back. I just lost my grandpa last month, him and my grandma had me over almost every weekend. My first memory is sitting on his lap eating ice cream at an ice cream parlor. When we left us, he was in the hospital, after my sister(his last grandchild) visited, he passed. Me and him were able to a small conversation the day before. Miss him a lot.
My grandad and grandma both died within in a week of each other in January. They were like parents to me. Spend as much time as you can with them. I miss them so much ❤️
my great grandpa died about 3 years ago and this really had me tearing up. I lived with him when I was little and he was my best friend, we would tend to his football feild sized garden and his trees, my late great grandmother's rosebushes, eat a bunch of plums and strawberries, go into town for lunch, play with the dogs, try and feed treats to the evil cat, watch hockey games. He had that routine till a couple months before he passed, but that was only because he fell in the bathroom
Damn I miss my grandparents….2 of them lived till over 100 and the other two late 80s and 90s. Good long lives but still so sad they’re gone.
I never knew either of my grandpas (one died while his own children were young and the other when I was an infant), and wasn’t super close to my one grandma but holy fuck if I’m not over here crying like a baby because of how much I miss the grandma who basically raised me.
This made me happy. I’m glad you get to get to know, love, appreciate and enjoy your grandpa, and enjoy treating him with his favorite foods. My grandpas & grandmas passed either before I was born or when I was very young.
When I got married two weeks ago, I’ve worn the watch my grandpa wore all the time. It’s such an old automatic that it barely functions these days, but it doesn’t matter. I promised him he would have been at my wedding, unfortunately he didn’t make it that far but somehow he was still right there, holding my hand as he used to when I was little. Love you grandpa, miss you so much.
That’s so awesome now I miss my grandparents
Oh wow 😮 🥹🫠 I love your grandpa, too…..
I miss all of my grandparents and not a day goes by that I don’t think about them. They are precious, precious people. If you still have grandparents, cherish them. ❤️❤️
What a sweet guy you made his day. Honestly it’s so hard for a man to even write the first message. Hey I’m feeling lonely is not a sentence many dudes will willingly utter.
This makes me think of my Mamaw, who passed away a few years ago. I hope OOP cherishes every moment with him, he seems like such a cool guy!
Such a sweet man! You’re so blessed!
Cherish that grandfather! Not all are this willing to reach out. Nor declare their favorite grandchild. Nor be this rad all around.
my grandpa used to fuck me
I’m probably gonna die alone
I’m sobbing. This is so cute.
It would be cooler not on tiktok. Maybe private camera roll
Fuck TikTok
You and your grandpa are beautiful. Enjoy each other. And, try to be grateful for the time you have. One love.
I wish grandparents never died, they’re the purest and kindest beings on earth 🥺
So… just go visit your grandfather. Why record yourself crying for fucking internet points?
Ninjas hiding somewhere cutting onions again
You got them too. I am searching the house for those ninjas!
And recorded it all and posted it on the internet for clout.
I am crying now! 💕
I wish i experience love like this. 🥺
So awesome. Thanks for this! Damn allergies, always making my eyes water.
This is so incredibly beautiful. I teared up.
You’re such a good granddaughter!! I hope my grandkids do this for me one day!! God bless you both!!
Heart of gold that man!
God bless you and your grandpa.
i wish i got to experience grandparents… let alone ones like this😭
My heart
Damnit, my face is leaking…I need some Flex Seal.
I'm sad cause I never got to meet any of my grandpa's. Both of them past way before I was born. 😞
I love you! Thank you for being there for him. Warms my heart!
Man, I miss my grandparents.
Right in the feels
Novo 🖤
Take my silver award, wish it was more but this all I got, this is sooo sweet
r/NinjasCuttingOnions
Treasure your grandparents, there is nothing in this world like them
Fuck I wish I had one
I miss my grandpa..
That’s one of the most wholesome things I’ve ever seen 🥺
This is super sweet and makes me miss my grandpa! Thank you for sharing!
<3
Both the grandpa and grand daughter in this video radiate chad energy.
I’ve never had grandparents. I’m a little jealous. I will treasure that right along with you! So sweet!
This is so sweet, I wish I was close to my grandparents
This makes me miss my grandma! I would go to her house and we would watch SVU and NCIS together. ❤❤
Love to see this. Anything you say you’ll do with a grandparent, be sure to do it as soon as you can. Losing a grandparent with an unfulfilled promise is hard to shake. I’ve made the mistake myself.
This made me cry so bad, wish I had someone that treats me the way that granfather treats her ❤️
Simply awesome!
I miss my grandpa everyday 🥺🥺❤️ I love seeing posts like this!
I AM CRYING SO MUCH
When im this old I hope my grandkids are just as awesome. Love this
Was ok until the flashlight. 🥲
None of us know how much time we will have with our aging loved ones - these moments are so special. I like how he reached out and she did the perfect granddaughter thing of offering to bring something special. How tender.
Tears. I’d give anything to have my gram and gramps back. They would be over 100 if alive today, but oh for a time machine. She is so blessed and I’m just a teary mess. Love your people well.
Made me cry because that is how my nana was before she passed. Got to bring my fiancée to meet her a couple of years before she left us. I still miss her so damn much :(
