When a loved one leaves home, the atmosphere often becomes a bit heavy at the time of farewell. Especially when the person leaving is someone with whom the daily life of the elders of the house is connected. This video going viral on social media also shows a similar moment, where a grandfather is seen emotional over his grandson going away from home.
In the video, the grandson is seen preparing to go somewhere. The grandfather sitting near him looks at him carefully. He tries to keep a smile on his face, but his uneasiness cannot be hidden from his eyes and voice. The news of his grandson’s departure is probably troubling him deeply.
I caressed my face and expressed my feelings.
The cutest part of the video is when the grandfather lovingly caresses his grandson’s face. This is not a film scene nor does it seem like there is anything big happening in it. Just the grandfather’s desire to keep looking at his grandson and keep him with him makes this whole moment special. After this, the grandfather is heard saying to the grandson, ‘I don’t feel like being without you, come quickly.’ His complete love and concern is visible in such a small thing. This may be a normal thing said to the grandson while leaving the house, but this moment captured on camera is now making thousands of people emotional.
‘Nowadays times are not good, return soon’
The grandfather not only seems sad about his grandson’s departure, but is also seen worrying about him. He tells her to be careful about these times and return home early. This habit of elders is often seen at home. Whether the child grows up, starts working or gets busy in his life, for him he remains a child. While going out, worrying about the way, worrying about reaching on time and then waiting to come back home, all this is a part of their love.
Children going far away for studies and jobs
Nowadays, it is common for children to go to another city for studies or jobs. In search of better opportunities, some go to Delhi, some to Mumbai and some to other parts of the country. Many times one has to go abroad for work. But in a house where a child is seen every day, it is natural to feel empty when his child goes away suddenly. This distance can be felt especially for grandparents. Their relationship with grandchildren is not just a family relationship, it also includes friendship, affection and small everyday memories.
The one who is going goes, the wait is left behind
A person leaving home becomes busy with his work and new life. In the beginning, phone and video calls are frequent, then gradually the hustle and bustle of life increases. But the elders sitting at home often wait there. The happiness on one’s face when someone calls, repeatedly asking about the well being on video call and saying at the end of every conversation to come home soon, there is a deep sense of intimacy hidden in these small things. Dada’s words in the viral video also tell a similar story.
The video reminded people of their home
Many social media users who watched this video admitted that they were reminded of their grandparents or elders at home. Some remembered their childhood days and some remembered the words said by their elders while leaving home. In fact, grandparents’ love often comes out in very simple ways. They don’t talk at length. Sometimes they ask for food, sometimes they explain the way and sometimes they call them and sit nearby without any reason. But when the same person goes away from home, then the value of these small things is understood.
Grandson’s love visible in grandfather’s eyes
The expressions on grandfather’s face in the video are perhaps the biggest thing about this entire story. He does not seem to be stopping his grandson, but just wants him to be safe and come back home soon. There is no complaint in his words. There is only the same worry of an elderly person, which arises in his mind after seeing his child going away. Perhaps this is the reason why people watching the video are able to connect themselves with this moment.
