Everyone knows that grandchildren can light up your life but a sweet video which was shared online has proved the saying to be true, as it shows the adorable reactions of one granddad each time his granddaughter comes to visit.
Jennifer Barclay filmed her visits to her grandfather Robert’s house on numerous occasions, capturing his sweet smile every time he answers the door and finds her waiting to come inside.
The student, from Scotland, shared the adorable footage on Twitter, which shows Jennifer’s 87-year-old grandfather opening the door to her on 17 different occasions, each time lighting up at the sight of his granddaughter.
“My wee Grandad, 87 years young and he’s my number one guy,” she wrote. “I love him with all my heart. And I love recording his reactions when I come to visit. I hope everyone can appreciate the video I’ve made as much as I do.”
