Grandma’s reaction touches people’s hearts when she finds out she’s moving in with grandson
Growing old entails many challenges, including losing a spouse, developing aging-related illnesses, and experiencing social isolation.
This grandma in Florida had one less thing to worry about – living alone. That’s because her grandson, Matthew Stewart, had arranged for her to live with him in his new home.
That means Grandma Bobbe, 87, whom Matthew calls GB, won’t have to spend her golden years in solitude!
Matthew has a combined following of over 2.3M on the two social media platforms, which just goes to show how much the internet has fallen in love with the pair. Give them a follow if you’d like a regular dose of sweetness on your feed!
One especially emotional video was posted in October 2020, and it showed Stewart announcing to his grandma that she would be moving in with him and his family when their new house was finished being built. They moved in officially in April 2021. Read on to learn more about this heartwarming video.
Stewart shared the video of the moving announcement on his Instagram page. He captioned the post: “Our future home.” In the video, you can see how happy and overwhelmed GB becomes after hearing the news. She sheds some tears and says that she is touched to know that somebody wants her.
In a video shared by Matthew on his Instagram page, the pair can be seen parked in front of a construction site. As it turns out, the unfinished home is their soon-to-be residence.
The doting grandson had been planning to move in with her for a long time, but it was only recently that he revealed the surprise to GB.
As they sat together in the car looking at the house, Matthew tells GB all about her private sitting room, accessible bathroom, and bedroom.
The grandma couldn’t help but get emotional upon hearing these details. She wiped her tears and told Matthew she’s happy “somebody wants me,” to which he replied jokingly, “Of course we want you! I guess…”
“It meant the world to be able to show her our new home! I cannot wait to actually move into it and have her with us!”
Matthew told Good News Movement. “I know we are all VERY excited. She was there for me in the past for the toughest time of my life and now I get to take care of her in the final years of her life. I’m very blessed!”
The house will be ready by January, and GB said she’s already “packed and ready to go.”
The grandma is clearly excited, and so are we! Watch the Instagram video below to see her heartwarming reaction.
GB and Matthew have a very special relationship, and they share it with the world through their funny—and sometimes tear-jerking—TikTok and Instagram videos.
Speaking to Good News Movement, Stewart said: “It meant the world to be able to show her our new home! I can not wait to actually move into it and have her with us! I know we are all VERY excited.” For GB, being close to her family was the greatest gift she could receive.
Stewart added: “She was there for me in the past for the toughest time of my life and now I get to take care of her in the final years of her life. I’m very blessed!” A lot of elderly people are forced into assisted living facilities if their families are unwilling and unable to take care of them. It is so nice to know that that will not be happening to GB and that she gets to enjoy her life with her beloved family.
Viewers were incredibly touched by the video.
One person wrote in a comment, “You are a phenomenal grandson! She must be a phenomenal grandmother! God bless both of you! I hope somebody does that for me someday.”
Seeing your grandparents through their golden years is a blessing. If you need to perk up your relationship with them, consider cuddling them more, shopping for them, and most importantly, spending quality time with them.
