They claim that having children brings maturity, while having grandchildren brings second youth. Just look at how the grandfather entertains his grown-up granddaughter. When she arrives, he appears to forget his age.
Hayley Gamez, a 30-year-old elementary school teacher from Texas, created a gorgeous film filled with sensitivity and love. The video shows her 89-year-old grandfather, Gayva, excitedly chasing after her vehicle and waiving his hand. According to the lady, this is a form of farewell ceremony that has been practiced for many decades, as reported by the Daily Mail.
Gaiva is no longer the same person he was 20-30 years ago, but when his adoring granddaughter comes to him, he forgets his venerable age and entertains her as if she were a child. He never skips a “run,” whether late at night or in bad weather. However, as shown in the video, if Gaiva rushes in the dark, his child follows.
The endearing family tradition made an impression on social media users. Gayva’s videos have received over 7 million views on TikTok alone! Subscribers wished the man, who has nearly unanimously been dubbed “the sweetest grandfather in the world,” good health and a long life in the comments. Many readers expressed their grief over the loss of their grandparents, who were separated from them due to a pandemic or, worse, death.
«You are extremely fortunate that your grandfather is still alive», «I miss Grandpa so much», «I cried while I watched it. «My grandfather has already passed away, and I miss him greatly,» the subscribers stated.
Hayley, who is about to become a mother for the second time, was overwhelmed by the admiration and sweet comments sent to her family. She later released another video in which she thanked supporters for their support and explained how the tradition began. According to the lady, it all started when her sister was a baby. Grandpa Gayva delighted her by “catch-up” with the departing car. He began running after Hayley when she was born, and afterwards after her son. Grandpa Gaiva used to be able to sprint alongside the car for an entire block, but now he struggles with energetic motions. Nonetheless, he attempts to waddle for a few meters.
Hayley was moved to tears every time she saw these attempts. She only hopes that her grandfather will have the stamina to pursue her second kid, who will be born soon. «He is filled with so much love! The expectant mother explains, “She fills everything around him and gives him strength.”
It’s wonderful when grandchildren respond to grandparents’ caring in the same way. For example, this gentleman took his grandmother to the shore and mountains, which she had always wanted to do.
