I'm not crying, YOU are… Okay, okay, we're all crying with this story. 

 

A video currently going viral on TikTok is not due to any shock value or fear mongering—it's due to it's epic wholesomeness. It will warm your heart and make you miss your grandma. It all started when a woman drove by an old lady. This old lady was itty bitty and alone, trying to cross the street on her walker during a hot day. The woman immediately looped around to try and find her, and soon she came upon her at the bus stop. She stop her car and approached her, speaking in spanish asking her if she was alright and if she would like a ride. The elder woman accepted and off they went! Little did they know a beautiful friendship would blossom!

  • The two women started chatting and the younger woman quickly finds out that this isn't your normal 65+ senior citizen, this is a 97-year-old lady. A woman pushing 100 should not be out in the heat like that on her own! With a heavy heart, she finds out that this woman is all on her own in the world and is on a government budget. 

     

    The old lady asked her why she offered a free ride to her, and the young woman confessed it was because she reminded her of her won grandma. Soon, the two became friends and the young woman promised to continue taking care of her as best as she could. She even started a GoFundMe page for her so the viewers of the videos could help this old woman out (aka her new bestie)!

     

    We love this story and can't wait to follow the journey of this beautiful new friendship!
