The wonderful relationship that grandparents have with their offspring is always a source of comfort and joy for everyone involved.
It is this beautiful connection that a family wanted to record with their camera and then share with the world in order to demonstrate how genuine love can bind two people together for the rest of their lives.
A YouTube channel dubbed ‘Cadance’s Magical Adventures’ published a 17-second clip on September 19, 2016,
and it immediately went viral, garnering an overwhelming response from individuals who were impacted by the contents of the video.
The Initial Get-Together
In the video, an elderly man was seen lying in his hospital bed.
Due to his weak physical condition, he was unable to fully open his eyes. Cadance, his great-great-granddaughter, was sleeping peacefully next to him as he laid there.
Both video clips were viewed by a large number of people and garnered a lot of comments from internet users all over the world.
A Poignant Moment
From the brief clip, it was not difficult to deduce that the elderly person’s health was in poor condition.
[Case in point:] [Case in point:] The video was released by Little Cadance’s parents, and the caption they chose to accompany it was a bittersweet combination of delight and profound sorrow.
The following, as stated in the description: ‘First time she has met him. After he woke up, he beckoned for her to come and sit with him. It was of such great value.’
It’s possible that we won’t have him for much longer, therefore I want to make sure she has something to help her remember him by.
A Delightful Reminiscence
The first time that Little Cadance met her much-loved great-great-grandfather was an unforgettable moment that Little Cadance’s family
wanted they could capture and keep for posterity so that they could always have it as a priceless memory to look back on and cherish.
Due to the senior citizen’s illness, he was unable to attend the party to welcome the new baby girl into the world.
As a result, his family planned the get-together so that he could connect with the child and make up for lost time.
When Cadance’s great-great-grandpa woke up after being unconscious for a few days, they took her to see him so she could meet him.

In a video that was uploaded as a follow-up on October 2, 2016, baby Cadance could not understand why her great-great-granddad would not look at her or respond to her message.
She tried her best to get him to talk, but he did not respond to her. The explanation could be found in the video’s description, which read as follows:
During her most recent visit, he was under sedation. She was at a loss to comprehend the reason behind his refusal to communicate with her.
About two days after this video was posted, he went away. Rest in peace, we will always love you, and you will be deeply missed.”
Cadance’s great-great-grandfather passed away not long after the second video was published, shattering the lives of all those he had left behind.
