The last part "That when a door closes, a window opens. Dont focus on the closed door, focus on the open window" that is wisdom from an elder who has tried it and proved it.
I love my nonna and nonno so much❤️I grew up with mum, my sister, aunties, uncle and gli nonni living in the same house..now I’m the only one living far away and I miss them terribly..
I spent only 4 weeks with my nonno's and nonna's in Italy. I was eleven yrs old when my parents and I went to Italy in 1976. I don't know what it's like to have nonni's. Pretty sad.
"Yes, sometimes you can be annoying. But so what" this is such a beautiful sentence, so much love and acceptance for who you are as a person, that touches ne
Her grandmother reminds me of mine. She was born in Germany in 1940 and still speaks perfect German. I understand that connection, how close they are to each other. I know this was two years ago but I always come back to watch it when I need a feel good moment.
When i was a little girl, i though i would die if my granny died. And she died when i was 19 years old. but i didnt die bcaz i have my mom. now i would think i will die when my mom die. But i have a son which is 3 years old. so there is a life cycle, we always worry but in this life we came and we all gone 1 day. This video make think a lot about my grandma. this is the way how we were me and my grandma. I miss her so much i believe she is always with me. I really wish a long and healthy life for this grandma. Please girl Love your grandma as much as you can and dont regret after she has gone. I love you both.
I felt the same way about my grandma too. I thought I will die, but I didn't and that made me feel guilty. Now, the fear that my mum will die is there and I'm pretty sure this will be worse and I don't know how I'll survive without her
the dark lord Hello Dear, We are the few lucky people in the world. Bcaz we had a very good grandmother and mother as well. Once you have your own life, you wont die after you mom die. Bcaz you will have a different life goal, that is the life cycle. And your mom doen't want you to die, you are her cont so she want you to cont her life.
Hi friends. Let me share something with you that I learned when I lost my mom at 24 years old (3 years ago). I thought I would die too; a permanent part of you does die. But not all of you. Most of you is still there and the rest that is missing is raw but slowly (very slowly) grows back. Your body repairs itself. You will not die, I promise. Neither will your daughter when you die. ♥️ -A friend.
@@Lilnugget_96 It's really hard. I think I only survive because my son is 3 and I can't bear the thought of what it would do to him. If something happens to him I'm done but for now I'll ride it out.
"I really didn't wanna cry", neither did we as viewers but we did also. I've came back to this video several times, yup, I still tear up every time, 2 adorable human beings showing true love between a Grandmother and Granddaughter.
crying so hard that i forgot how to breathe...i never even met any of my grandparents, yet this just broke me. i wish i had one tenth of the strength that Francoise possesses
I don't think I've ever watched an interview with two people that I felt so instantly bonded to. The reflectivity of their relationship to my own with my grandmother had me in tears. There's something beautifully heartbreaking about that friendship that grows with so many years of distance in age because you're always knowing that eventually you'll have to say goodbye much sooner than you are ready to.
My grandmother passed away in 2014, and I’m sad that I never got to do something like this with her. We had a unique connection. And I knew that from all my brothers, I was perhaps her favorite. I never said good-bye to her the last time I could, and never got to say I love you. The years prior to her death were difficult, specially for me, and I decided to alienate myself from her instead of taking any opportunity to share some time with her. This is a beautiful video. The wisdom and the friendship that grandparents offer is unique and full of love and compassion. Very touching session.
That's so weird, I had the exact same experience with my grandmother. In my case she was always very up to date, prided herself on being a 'hip grandma', was caring, did her makeup every morning, layed out her outfits the night before. Sometimes she would call me in the living room and I'd yell back "WHAT?!", she would call me to the bedroom and say: "this jacket with these pants or this one?" I'd always react like "you're so weird", but couldn't help but smile to myself when I left the room again. In the times before she died she looked so different than the woman I had grown up with and loved so dearly. For the first time she didn't seem like a superwoman, like she was invincible. She looked sick and bruised from falling so much and I couldn't bear it. So I alienated myself from her a little. Came to the hospital way less than I should have. When I got the call that she had passed away, my heart broke into a million pieces. I will always carry that guilt with me. The guilt I have for not being able to just suck it up and be with her. She was my person and I miss her everyday. I understand you, I am sorry for your experience, and I hope that you live a full life even though your person is not here anymore either 🍀
My grandmother was my favourite person in the world. I lost her almost 2 years ago. I've felt incomplete and empty ever since. I barely cry because I'm so scared to think about her not being here that I avoid it at all costs. I only dream about her. Today this video made me cry so much. It's still terrifying realising she's not here. I'm scared for this girl to feel the same some day. Life is never the same when you loose your ground..
God I feel you so much. I lost suddenly my grandma 3 years ago. She was my favorite person too. Still processing the fact that most of my life will be without her by my side..
I lost my grandma 8 years ago. I wish I could go back in time and have a conversation like this with her. I feel like I’ve never told her how much she meant to me and how much I loved her.
Never take them for granted. It hurts me when I see people out with their grandparents, not engaging in conversation and not cherishing the moment. You will miss them everyday and wish you had just a little more time 😢
i can't stop crying. I understand them so well, me and my greandma are the exact same way. I actually doubt I would be able to sit through a single one of those questions without balling my eyes out. Whenever I try to talk about our relationship I break down even before asking a single question because the thought of making my grandma sad that she will eventually leave me is too horrible to bear. They will forever have this memory though nd I think this video will be good to have for the girl
Im so scared that one day, I’ll wake up and either my dad, mom, grandma will be gone. Every day passes and they’re getting old and I’m not there to help them. Breaks my heart
"When a door closes, a window opens." Best thing i've heard today. We always search for easy and obvious routes, and the smallest inconvenience troubles us, when in fact we should think outside the box and create new gates, gates of hope.
This story man really got me choked up.. My grams and I literally sound so much like them! My grams is more like my mother. She's all I've ever had in my life and no matter what she's always been there!... I can't either imagine loosing her...
i cried when she said that she was scared to lose her grandmother because it hit me that i am also so scared to lose my mother and the thought of that terrified me
This is so beautiful to watch. I lost my nana almost 3 years ago and if would have the opportunity of a last talk with her it would be just like this one. I just can say that the "I love you" are never enough...
This moved me to the core, I can relate to Emma as Françoise reminds me a lot of my 'mamie' (who happened to be French too). The thought of losing her was excruciatingly painful and I lived with the firm belief that she would live for 120 years because of her resilience and strong desire to see her grandchildren grow regardless of her fragile health. During her passing, I went through different stages, numbness, anger, profound sadness and ultimately gratefulness. Gratefulness that I got to have such a wonderful grandma and that we had such a close, loving relationship. Her love, her memory and our conversations live on and not a day goes by when I don't think of her. I wish Françoise and Emma many more years of love and bonding moments.
"I'm scared to lose you" Me: *cries for 3 days straight* bruh that hit hard cause I can't bear the thought of ever losing my family, even my brother I continuously say I hate-
The most genuine love that you get if from our grand parents. So, We should take good care of them and let them feel how we love them so much while they still can.
Ok my tears are running.... i lost all my grandparents and an uncle in a time frame of... 4 or 5 years... and I miss them so much!!! There are many things I would do different now but I cant change the past. But just in case their soul is anywhere and just in case this soul can feel what i want to know them, I carry my love deep inside me and I hope that they know how much they mean to me....
I think they hear you and know you. The body returns to the earth, the spirit returns to God.(universe) Why are we trapped in these bodies only to never live again or gain understanding after death? It makes no sense to me. So I believe, that in spirit, they are alive and they see you. They hear you and they may even Shout with joy when you accomplish goals. My granny, step granddaddy, blood grandad whom I've never had the chance to meet, great grandparents and two uncles passed away. One of my uncles just passed last week. I promise you, sometime last week I got a chill and felt my grandma's energy. I felt her loving and accepting spirit. We don't live without a purpose. Know that. I send you love and healing lady. Stay strong. You and I will see our family again. Try to remain pure❤️❤️❤️👑
This is so beautiful. It also makes me kind of sad. I don't have grandparents in the relational sense - 3/4 of my grandparents are alive, but long story short (and as far as I can understand), due to family politics, they've never been truly involved in my life. As a kid/teen, at first I went from not even wanting or caring about that grandparent-grandchild relationship, then as I saw it everywhere growing up (movies, with friends, etc), I sort of craved something I know will never happen (by their own choice). The idea of the stereotypical grandparent taking their grandchild for a weekend to hangout and have fun just because they could was more what I craved, but not necessarily with my actual grandparents. Now in my mid-20s, I'm at peace with it, since I've met some amazing older adults who are like grandparents to me. But this relationship here is so beautiful to see, the raw love and care of a grandmother for her grandchild, and the love and appreciation her granddaughter shows in return. It's not a huge craving of mine anymore, but relationships like this always make me feel kind of wistful for one of my own.
This video is beyond beautiful. I am 21 weeks pregnant with my first child who is a baby girl. This video makes me think of my daughter and how I hope her relationship with her only remaining grandma will be. I never had a lasting relationship with my grandmas because they passed when I was 4 years old, but I hope my daughter will. ♥️
I had one of the most amazing grandmother. I remember when I was in boarding school, every Friday she would wake up early and bake cookies for me enough to last a week incase I ever got hungry. She had to ride on two separate connecting buses from her house to the school, carrying the big jar. She waited outside the school gate until classes ended just to see me and spend time with me. This was every Friday without fail. This video really made cry because I miss her so much. She showed me so much Love.
All the time i tell of the people around me that they are lucky to have their grandparents. Please tell them you love them before you lost them forever.. So much to say
This was so beautiful. I felt the love between them. I too shared such a bond with my Nana. I would’ve loved to do this with her. She passed away in 2015 and I still ache. I thank God for her, as not everyone is blessed with this type of bond.
I'm just finding this video now, many years later and "MayMay" has touched my heart. I lost my mom to cancer around this time last year and as a woman who just turned 30, I feel like I have still so much to learn from my mom and I will never get the chance to. Like many others have said the very last part about a door closing and a window opening, I needed to hear that in my life at this very moment. I've been so focused on that closed door, I've lost sight that there are windows opening all around me. So thank you, for reminding me to change my perspective about the situation I am in.
Grandparents are a beautiful thing. I lost my Papa when i was little and i lost my other Papa at 21, but both i didn't really get to spend time with. I have 1 Grandparent left (Grandma) and she is one of the most important people in my life. She has taken care of me since day 1, always made sure i had what i needed. Unfortunately we live on opposite sides of the country and i don't ever get to see her. its been 4 years and counting since i've last seen her. :(
I’m envious that these two got to be part of this social experiment. I would give anything in this world to sit down with my grandmother/lola and have this moment.
omg so moving. Reminds me of the special bond & relationship I had with my grandfather. he passed last year. Treasure eachother. Make the time for eachother. ❤❤❤❤❤
My Grandmother, she's 84..has lived and continues to live an amazing life, she's my best friend and the person I can call or talk to when things get rough or if I have stuff on my mind. she never judges, forgives my mistakes, and has always been a special part of my life growing up. I don't know when or how she'll go when the Lord calls her Home, but I'm quite certain that she'll be accepted with open arms.
Me and my nama were like this… she passed away this past summer and I miss her terribly… this made me have all the tears of missing her but all the feelings of her love too and memories so I’m thankful that this popped up on my suggestions
I Lost my Grandma in 2016 in when I mean that was my bestfriend I miss her soooo much she's was like my mom in this made me sooo emotional this was beautiful ❗❗ this is why I love this Channel ❤😭
When she said I'm so scared to lose u i felt that in my gut!! 💔💔😢😭😭😭 i lost my grandma Nov 2021! That was my biggest fear losing her and its the worst feeling in the world like sometimes it feels like i can't breathe!😔😔 I'm trying my best to be strong and move forward but its hard. Everyone should cherish their grandmother's because one day they will not be here! ❤️❤️🙏
My Nanny died unexpectedly a few years ago. It was one of the worst things I have experienced. She was a wonderful person who loved her children and grandchildren more than anything. Words can’t describe what she meant to me.
Swallowing back tears listening to this while lifting weights at the gym. LOL. This video touched me because I was extremely close to my own grandmother, who was actually more like my mom, just a few months ago. Losing her was one of my biggest fear and when it happened, I feel like I lost a piece of myself. I miss her so so much.
My Nana and Papa have always been my best friends. I lost my Papa 12/1/21 and I have never felt right since. I wish I had a video of him and I speaking with each other to listen to. The part where she said “I might be having a bad day but I know that you love me” hit me so hard and changed my perspective. Even though my papa is no longer here, he loved me enough to keep me going for the rest of my life.
My moms mom died when she was five. Even though she was right across the room she couldn’t see her for a year due to her stomach cancer. Then came one night where my mom came in laid beside her. Babcia (Gma in polish) asked my mom what she’d do if she died... my mom replied “I’d die with you”. My mom didn’t even know what the meant. I was always jealous of people knowing their grandparents. I never knew any. But every time I hear my moms story of watch videos like this it makes me feel like I’m actually having a connection with her. I know babcia was a hell of a grandma cause I got a hell of a great mom ❤️
As my grandmothers would say, "para adelante mijo..." may their beautiful light rest in peace.. I love you grandmas. - In Memory of Blanca & Nelly 1941-2021 1945-2020
i lost my grandma about one year ago and i really understand that part when she said am really scared to lose you i always was thinking about it but my advise dont think like this just use everday to give and take love from them because today they are here but tomorrow you dont know....
i like watching these videos (esp this one). ii don't have many close connections in my life so hearing these kinds of conversations is good bc i havent really experienced those kinds of things growing up
I lost my grandmother 2 years ago to Covid and she would always tell me I feel when something wrong I feel like I need to call u I feel when you’re sad that love is Undescribable and it’s so hard to lose her this hitt me to the T
I found out that my Nonna passed away this morning. She had a stroke and was in hospital for at least 3 years, unable to speak or move. Even though the concept of her death was one that was slowly introduced to me by the long process or her departure, I still can't stop crying. She was one of the most amazing and resilient people I knew. She would always say things like 'oops, Nonna's lost the plot again!' or 'We won't worry about little things like that.' When I was little, I came to her worried that I would one day lose her, and she said to me 'Don't you worry. Even when I leave you some day, we'll meet again. And I'll be there at the gates of heaven to welcome you home.' I only wish that we could meet again now that I'm grown. That I could get to know her as more than just my grandmother, but as the person she was outside of that role. I want her to see how much I strive to be like her in so many ways. I want to be as resilient and fun-loving as she was, and I want to embrace my old age when it comes as a natural, beautiful part of life. Some day, I hope my own grandchildren will call me Nonna. And I hope I can give to them everything my Nonna gave me when she was alive. Nonna is in a better place now. She's free from the body that bound her to that hospital bed. She can go anywhere, see anything, relive her happiest memories, and see her loved ones again. And now I know that, when I pray to her, she'll be able to hear me. I'm so happy for her. And I look forward to the day I'll see her again, at the gates of heaven, just like she promised.
My Grandma was and will always be my best friend. She raised me from the age of 3. At 5 years old her friend died and it was then I knew what death was. Ever since, my worst fear was my Grandmother dying. I literally would cry myself to sleep at night from the time I was a child through adulthood at just the thought of losing her. She was my everything and such a phenomenal woman. So supportive of me and all my flaws. She would do anything for me and she did❤️❤️❤️ Thank you God for her!!! My Grandma passed in September of 2017 and that was the worse day of my life, I thought I was dying of a broke heart. I literally had pain in my chest. Hair fell out. Stomach pain. I literally thought I was going to go mentally insane. That emptiness has not gone away, I’ve just learned how to cope with help from God❤️❤️❤️❤️ I’ll always be a grandma’s girl
The last part "That when a door closes, a window opens. Dont focus on the closed door, focus on the open window" that is wisdom from an elder who has tried it and proved it.
Never look back 🐈
Absolutely! What precious advice!
So sweet. I think she chose that one specifically as a response to her saying she was scared to lose her. Very loving thing to do.
I can't imagine my life without my nonna and she almost 93 years old. Grandparents are gift from God.
you are so lucky to live with them this long. Love them as much as you could, then you wont have regret about it. Wish you a lots of love.
Thank you dear. My nonna is like a baby now and miss talk to her so much, but I'm so glad she still here. She is the love of my life.
Cele_it my nonnas my bff🤧❤️
I love my nonna and nonno so much❤️I grew up with mum, my sister, aunties, uncle and gli nonni living in the same house..now I’m the only one living far away and I miss them terribly..
I spent only 4 weeks with my nonno's and nonna's in Italy. I was eleven yrs old when my parents and I went to Italy in 1976. I don't know what it's like to have nonni's. Pretty sad.

I never knew I could be so emotionally for someone else’s relationship
Isn't it crazy?! We feel the same way! All of us were emotional messes in the studio the whole time!
Ikr...like why the hell am I tearing up? 😂
Right? It’s ridiculous 😂

Meeting them, spending time with them and losing them is the worst feeling.
I recently lost my grandma and I can’t stop feeling so sad about it
I don't think I've ever watched an interview with two people that I felt so instantly bonded to. The reflectivity of their relationship to my own with my grandmother had me in tears. There's something beautifully heartbreaking about that friendship that grows with so many years of distance in age because you're always knowing that eventually you'll have to say goodbye much sooner than you are ready to.

Amazing is their understanding to each other despite the age gap! Also i love the grandma’s lipgloss❤️
I don’t think I have ever seen someone love and admire another as much as she dose her grandma. So sweet we need more love like that in our world.
Im so scared that one day, I’ll wake up and either my dad, mom, grandma will be gone. Every day passes and they’re getting old and I’m not there to help them. Breaks my heart
My heart is aching. I miss my grandma so much.

Me: *cries for 3 days straight*
bruh that hit hard cause I can't bear the thought of ever losing my family, even my brother I continuously say I hate-
Brought me to tears, I have a similar relationship with my sweet grandmother. I can’t imagine losing her!
Never had this kind of relationship with my grandparents but this seems wonderful
The most genuine love that you get if from our grand parents.
So, We should take good care of them and let them feel how we love them so much while they still can.
Ok my tears are running.... i lost all my grandparents and an uncle in a time frame of... 4 or 5 years... and I miss them so much!!! There are many things I would do different now but I cant change the past. But just in case their soul is anywhere and just in case this soul can feel what i want to know them, I carry my love deep inside me and I hope that they know how much they mean to me....

The body returns to the earth, the spirit returns to God.(universe)
Why are we trapped in these bodies only to never live again or gain understanding after death?
It makes no sense to me.
So I believe, that in spirit, they are alive and they see you.
They hear you and they may even Shout with joy when you accomplish goals.
My granny, step granddaddy, blood grandad whom I've never had the chance to meet, great grandparents and two uncles passed away. One of my uncles just passed last week.
I promise you, sometime last week I got a chill and felt my grandma's energy. I felt her loving and accepting spirit.
We don't live without a purpose.
Know that.
I send you love and healing lady.
Stay strong.
You and I will see our family again.
Try to remain pure❤️❤️❤️👑
How beautiful.
this hits home...my grandma is my entire life, i don’t want to imagine a life without her
My daughter really loves her grandma(my mom). I hope she has this kind of bond with my mom. Warms my heart seeing how much love there is in that room.
My grandma passed away 2 months ago. This video makes me miss her even more.. 😢
her grandma is so reflected, when she was talking about the Improvening of their relationship. really lovely :D
This makes me want to do this with my grandma!!! I know for sure the waterworks would start with me!!!
This is so beautiful. It also makes me kind of sad. I don't have grandparents in the relational sense - 3/4 of my grandparents are alive, but long story short (and as far as I can understand), due to family politics, they've never been truly involved in my life. As a kid/teen, at first I went from not even wanting or caring about that grandparent-grandchild relationship, then as I saw it everywhere growing up (movies, with friends, etc), I sort of craved something I know will never happen (by their own choice). The idea of the stereotypical grandparent taking their grandchild for a weekend to hangout and have fun just because they could was more what I craved, but not necessarily with my actual grandparents. Now in my mid-20s, I'm at peace with it, since I've met some amazing older adults who are like grandparents to me.
But this relationship here is so beautiful to see, the raw love and care of a grandmother for her grandchild, and the love and appreciation her granddaughter shows in return. It's not a huge craving of mine anymore, but relationships like this always make me feel kind of wistful for one of my own.
This video is beyond beautiful.
I am 21 weeks pregnant with my first child who is a baby girl. This video makes me think of my daughter and how I hope her relationship with her only remaining grandma will be. I never had a lasting relationship with my grandmas because they passed when I was 4 years old, but I hope my daughter will. ♥️
I had one of the most amazing grandmother. I remember when I was in boarding school, every Friday she would wake up early and bake cookies for me enough to last a week incase I ever got hungry. She had to ride on two separate connecting buses from her house to the school, carrying the big jar. She waited outside the school gate until classes ended just to see me and spend time with me. This was every Friday without fail. This video really made cry because I miss her so much. She showed me so much Love.
Halima Abdi omg what a sweet memory :) I hope she gave you her recipe. Maybe you can do the same tradition for your granddaughter.
@@iCeleste7 I definitely intend to be my love. Thank you.
Halima Abdi I gotchu.
A minute in and I'm crying. What the hell
All the time i tell of the people around me that they are lucky to have their grandparents. Please tell them you love them before you lost them forever.. So much to say
This was so beautiful. I felt the love between them. I too shared such a bond with my Nana. I would’ve loved to do this with her. She passed away in 2015 and I still ache. I thank God for her, as not everyone is blessed with this type of bond.
I'm just finding this video now, many years later and "MayMay" has touched my heart. I lost my mom to cancer around this time last year and as a woman who just turned 30, I feel like I have still so much to learn from my mom and I will never get the chance to. Like many others have said the very last part about a door closing and a window opening, I needed to hear that in my life at this very moment. I've been so focused on that closed door, I've lost sight that there are windows opening all around me.
So thank you, for reminding me to change my perspective about the situation I am in.
Grandparents are a beautiful thing. I lost my Papa when i was little and i lost my other Papa at 21, but both i didn't really get to spend time with. I have 1 Grandparent left (Grandma) and she is one of the most important people in my life. She has taken care of me since day 1, always made sure i had what i needed. Unfortunately we live on opposite sides of the country and i don't ever get to see her. its been 4 years and counting since i've last seen her. :(
I’m envious that these two got to be part of this social experiment. I would give anything in this world to sit down with my grandmother/lola and have this moment.
Aaaaahhh. First the founder speaking to his father and now this. So much love so much understanding. Thank you!!!!!
omg so moving. Reminds me of the special bond & relationship I had with my grandfather. he passed last year. Treasure eachother. Make the time for eachother. ❤❤❤❤❤
This reminds me of my grandma. I love it.
I envy those who have been able to have their grandparents in their lives. this one made me cry so much. your relationship is so beautiful
“I’m so scared to lose you.”
I never got to that point. She died so quickly that it never even crossed my mind I’d have to live without her.
These two humans! OMG. I’m not a crier but omg this one really almost got me. I wish I had a relationship in my life like this.
My Grandmother, she's 84..has lived and continues to live an amazing life, she's my best friend and the person I can call or talk to when things get rough or if I have stuff on my mind. she never judges, forgives my mistakes, and has always been a special part of my life growing up.
I don't know when or how she'll go when the Lord calls her Home, but I'm quite certain that she'll be accepted with open arms.
Me and my nama were like this… she passed away this past summer and I miss her terribly… this made me have all the tears of missing her but all the feelings of her love too and memories so I’m thankful that this popped up on my suggestions
she looks like she is the lost twin sister of timothée chalamet
I Lost my Grandma in 2016 in when I mean that was my bestfriend I miss her soooo much she's was like my mom in this made me sooo emotional this was beautiful ❗❗ this is why I love this Channel ❤😭
What a beautiful woman
Ffs! I’m so close to my grandma and I just love the elderly in general so this pulled on all my heart strings💙💙💙
I saw this for the first time today, and I honestly think this is my favourite The And episode I've seen so far 💗
i wish i had the same experience that everyone talks about their grandparents. can’t relate! but this right here hit me.
im crying and my nose is running and I want this type of relationship with literally anyone whew.... okay prt 2
I Miss my grandma :( I lost her when I was 11. I’ve forgotten too much about her already. I wish we got to have this conversation.
I can relate so much to this... made me tear up so much. My grandma is no longer with me but she lives in my heart every day!
This was amazing! They’re both so beautiful and vulnerable. I loved watching this. We need to have more conversations like this
Lost my grandma yesterday .. Thank you for this ❤️
The grandma's French.
When she said I'm so scared to lose u i felt that in my gut!! 💔💔😢😭😭😭 i lost my grandma Nov 2021! That was my biggest fear losing her and its the worst feeling in the world like sometimes it feels like i can't breathe!😔😔 I'm trying my best to be strong and move forward but its hard. Everyone should cherish their grandmother's because one day they will not be here! ❤️❤️🙏
i miss my grandma now :(
Me too :(
I can’t imagine my grandma not being alive she’s all I’ve known all my life. Without her life will be so weird she’s my best friend
My Nanny died unexpectedly a few years ago. It was one of the worst things I have experienced. She was a wonderful person who loved her children and grandchildren more than anything. Words can’t describe what she meant to me.
Swallowing back tears listening to this while lifting weights at the gym. LOL. This video touched me because I was extremely close to my own grandmother, who was actually more like my mom, just a few months ago. Losing her was one of my biggest fear and when it happened, I feel like I lost a piece of myself. I miss her so so much.
What a beautiful relationship they share.
That grandma is so wise
Wow..you can tell she got her beautiful flawless skin from her grandmother..but damn..i am crying from these onions being chopped up!
This one hit home... id be absolutely devastated if I lost my grandmother
My Nana and Papa have always been my best friends. I lost my Papa 12/1/21 and I have never felt right since. I wish I had a video of him and I speaking with each other to listen to. The part where she said “I might be having a bad day but I know that you love me” hit me so hard and changed my perspective. Even though my papa is no longer here, he loved me enough to keep me going for the rest of my life.
Just lost my great grandma yesterday and boy, the “I know she loves me” part hurt
This was beautiful. Thank you for posting.
well that made me cry. but those were good tears too.
I lost it when she said im scared to loose you. This was a great conversation
My moms mom died when she was five. Even though she was right across the room she couldn’t see her for a year due to her stomach cancer. Then came one night where my mom came in laid beside her. Babcia (Gma in polish) asked my mom what she’d do if she died... my mom replied “I’d die with you”. My mom didn’t even know what the meant.
I was always jealous of people knowing their grandparents. I never knew any.
But every time I hear my moms story of watch videos like this it makes me feel like I’m actually having a connection with her.
I know babcia was a hell of a grandma cause I got a hell of a great mom ❤️
I love this
R.I.P Granny 🤗🤗😘
This was beautiful!!! I teared up!
My grandma and I didn’t have a relationship after dad got remarried. I regret so much not reaching out. I will remember this woman’s quote forever. ❤
balling my eyes from all the love
The deep relationship of these two are just incredible, you'll see it the way they communicate with each other. So good to see it tho :(
I can’t stop crying! ❤️
As my grandmothers would say, "para adelante mijo..." may their beautiful light rest in peace.. I love you grandmas.

Pure love between a granny and grandkid
She looks alot like her grandma 💙 Lovely relationship

Francoise sounds like the Grandmother from the Anastasia cartoon. Shes so loving and strong like her too
i like watching these videos (esp this one). ii don't have many close connections in my life so hearing these kinds of conversations is good bc i havent really experienced those kinds of things growing up
I lost my grandmother 2 years ago to Covid and she would always tell me I feel when something wrong I feel like I need to call u I feel when you’re sad that love is Undescribable and it’s so hard to lose her this hitt me to the T
I miss my grandmother so much:( I wish I can see her and talk to her:)❤️
beautiful, pure and wise. Thanks!
I found out that my Nonna passed away this morning. She had a stroke and was in hospital for at least 3 years, unable to speak or move. Even though the concept of her death was one that was slowly introduced to me by the long process or her departure, I still can't stop crying. She was one of the most amazing and resilient people I knew. She would always say things like 'oops, Nonna's lost the plot again!' or 'We won't worry about little things like that.' When I was little, I came to her worried that I would one day lose her, and she said to me 'Don't you worry. Even when I leave you some day, we'll meet again. And I'll be there at the gates of heaven to welcome you home.'
I only wish that we could meet again now that I'm grown. That I could get to know her as more than just my grandmother, but as the person she was outside of that role. I want her to see how much I strive to be like her in so many ways. I want to be as resilient and fun-loving as she was, and I want to embrace my old age when it comes as a natural, beautiful part of life. Some day, I hope my own grandchildren will call me Nonna. And I hope I can give to them everything my Nonna gave me when she was alive.
Nonna is in a better place now. She's free from the body that bound her to that hospital bed. She can go anywhere, see anything, relive her happiest memories, and see her loved ones again. And now I know that, when I pray to her, she'll be able to hear me. I'm so happy for her. And I look forward to the day I'll see her again, at the gates of heaven, just like she promised.
My Grandma was and will always be my best friend. She raised me from the age of 3. At 5 years old her friend died and it was then I knew what death was. Ever since, my worst fear was my Grandmother dying. I literally would cry myself to sleep at night from the time I was a child through adulthood at just the thought of losing her. She was my everything and such a phenomenal woman. So supportive of me and all my flaws. She would do anything for me and she did❤️❤️❤️ Thank you God for her!!! My Grandma passed in September of 2017 and that was the worse day of my life, I thought I was dying of a broke heart. I literally had pain in my chest. Hair fell out. Stomach pain. I literally thought I was going to go mentally insane. That emptiness has not gone away, I’ve just learned how to cope with help from God❤️❤️❤️❤️ I’ll always be a grandma’s girl
I cried so Hard with this. Love you abuela 😍
