Great Grandpa Teaches Toddler To Walk In Sweet Viral Video

A 14-month-old girl named Ocean is learning to walk in the best possible way: alongside her great-grandpa.

88-year-old Jeri didn't think he'd live to meet his great-granddaughter, let alone play an active part in her life. But sometimes, life has a funny way of surprising us.

Jeri uses a walker to get around since her legs don't work like they used to, and while that would slow some people down, it's actually given Jeri a way to help little Ocean!

Ocean's mom, Brianna Dukz (TikTok user @breedukz), shared a video showing how her grandpa Jeri has been using his walker to teach Ocean to walk and practice with her. It's so cute!

"POV: your grandpa didn't think he'd live long enough to meet his great-grandaughter but he helped her learn how to walk," she wrote in video.

"Seeing my grandparents become great grandparents is a true blessing," she added in the caption.

The video was viewed over 3 million times and people are touched by what they saw.

In a follow-up video, Brianna explained that they spend a lot of time with her grandparents and her daughter has been walking on Great Grandpa's walker with him since the moment she could stand!

She said she takes as many pictures and videos of them together as possible since she's unsure if her daughter will remember having him around.
