That includes babies being born and giving people a new title, such as, “Grandpa.”
One man in Michigan has been regularly walking four miles in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic just to see his newborn granddaughter — through a glass door — according to his son.
“It breaks my heart that my dad can’t hold my daughter,” Joshua Gillett wrote in an Instagram post where he shared a photo of one of the visits. “However, as you can clearly see on my dad’s face, he’s overflowing with joy just to see her.”
“While my wife was pregnant, I don’t think an hour went by where my dad didn’t brag about becoming a grandpa soon,” Gillett wrote. “Now, his granddaughter is finally here, and the only thing he can hold are the daily pictures we send him.”
The new dad continued, “#Stayhome for the new dads and moms who can’t wait to have the world meet their new baby,” he wrote in his Instagram post. “#Stayhome for the grandparents who want to hold their new grandchild more than anything…#Stayhome for the great-grandparents who know time is a gift.”
