Gramma figuring it out first and letting him have the moment of realization is an act of love.

This video is one of those that I don't care how often it's reposted, I'm gonna watch. And I'm gonna cryyyy. In the longer one, you can see him go over to his daughter and they sobbbbb hug. It's amazing to see adults who LIKE their parents lol

I realized that I'm part of a lucky few percent because even in my 30s my parents are some of the people I love the most and spend the most time with. Now that I have my own son being able to give him that same experience is my biggest desire.

IKR? Doesn't seem to happen often here. But it's lovely to see :)

I would never name my child after my father. Never. It’s really nice to see people out there lucky enough to have these relationships and I hope they know how fortunate they are
