This is the heartwarming moment grandparents were reunited with their grandkids after three years apart due to Covid restrictions.
Footage captured the moment the surprise reunion took place, bringing the family back together.
It shows grandparents Johnny, 74, and Elizabeth, 68, who live in Toronto, Canada, as they are greeted by their grandchildren.
Parents Nate and Anju and their three children drove 16 hours from Arkansas, USA, across the border into Canada.
Both grandparents were immunocompromised, meaning they couldn’t have any contact with their family, during most of the pandemic.
The family also experienced various difficulties that included ‘home displacement, job layoffs and financial hardships’.
The border regulations between Canada and the United States also proved to be a constant headache, preventing them from seeing each other.
In the video one of the grandchildren waits at the door with her brother. She appears to be very excited.
Johnny opens the door with an ecstatic expression on his face. He can be seen hugging the girl and making delighted noises.
Johnny then hugs the other children. The rest of the family hurry down the stairs for the reunion.
They all hug one another in the hallway.
The mother says, ‘another surprise’ as the father enters.
He hugs Johnny, who greets him with a kiss.
At the end of the video Johnny looks a little bit overwhelmed by the surprise of seeing all his loved ones at once.
The footage was captured on December 14.
