We hope you have memories of the times your grandparents were so wholesome, they restored people’s faith in humanity. But if you don’t, we’ve compiled a heartwarming list of social media posts and imagery featuring the most loving grandparents demonstrating their love, compassion, and selfless actions.

Say Hello to Your Grandson

Here's a doting grandfather meeting his brand-new grandson for the very first time. Have you ever seen a grown man so full of love and pride? In fact, he's not full - he's positively over-brimming with love, so much so that it's leaking out of his eyes. The new dad and photographer wrote on social media, "I've never seen my dad so happy. Feels real good, man!"

With a relationship like this and his reaction to meeting his grandson, you know he's gonna be the World's Best Grandpa!

Reunited With Grandpa

This young lady hadn't seen her grandfather in 15 years - and they were both overwhelmed when they were reunited. After lots of hugs, laughs, and smiles, the first thing he did was reach into his back pocket and pull out his wallet.

Not to hand over a wad of cash but to show her something money couldn't buy. In his wallet was a photo of her from when she was five years old. Gramps had been carrying it around with him every day for the last decade and a half.

Baby Elephant Blanket

This story comes to us all the way from South Africa... via the UK. This British lady's grandchild works on an elephant sanctuary, so when she heard the news that a baby elephant named Khanyisa had just been born, she decided to knit a blanket for her.

When the multicolored blanket finally arrived after four months, Khanyisa was delighted with her prize and walked around showing it off. In fact, Khanyisa was so proud you could even say she was blowing her own trumpet!

First Date

This granddad was over the moon that his granddaughter was taking him out for lunch. So much so, that when her dad phoned him, her grandpa proudly stated he had been up and showered since 7:00 am in preparation for his "date."

In fairness, it was possibly grandpa's first date in half a century! And judging from the smile on his face, it seems like his outing with his grandchild couldn't have gone any better. All we want to know is if this going to become a weekly tradition!
