Viral Video: Moving homes and shifting is surely one of the most tactical activities that can drain one’s excitement for the big move itself. However, the mental and physical drainage amid such major moves is hardly a bother if one gets to be neighbours with people like this elderly man in particular, who won his new neighbour’s heart in the most beautiful way possible. Taking to social media, a woman shared a video of her 98-year-old neighbour walking back to his home, where she explained that he was at her house to welcome them with a gift; a mouthwatering cake. It goes without saying that the clip went viral and ended up melting countless hearts on social media as netizens called him too ‘precious’.
As per the post, the elderly man has been living in the neighbourhood for 52 long years and hoped that the new neighbours will ‘love’ the place as much as he does. The viral video pulled countless reactions from people after getting shared. Most people shared emotional comments on ‘protecting’ the elderly man, while the rest found the gesture too sweet to handle.
The video was shared on Instagram, by the handle ‘Pubity’. The post was captioned, “We just moved into our house and our 98-year-old neighbour just dropped off a cake to welcome us to the neighbourhood.” The video was shared a day ago and pulled 419K likes from people.
