It’s great when adults show little ones how wonderful the world is. Next to the little ones, we ourselves remember that happiness is simple. This touching story is all about that!
This American grandfather found a way to show his grandkids how amazing our world is. His daughter, named Mickey, shared a video of her little ones picking up beautiful seashells from the ocean while walking with their grandfather.
Happy little ones are happy and look at seashells of different shapes and collect them in a bucket. It turned out that those shells were there for a reason.
Mickey, 32, said it turns out his dad has been quietly leaving beautiful seashells on the shore all this time for his grandchildren to pick up.
She learned this “secret” from her father quite recently. For her, this was also a surprise – after all, when she was little, he also threw seashells on the shore during walks.
All the while, Grandpa secretly bought beautiful seashells from the store, then scattered them along the shore on a walk while the little ones didn’t see them.
Of course, this secret will remain a secret for the little ones – because they are so happy with every find! And parents and grandfather rejoice with them. The video with this story has garnered three million views and thousands of kind comments online.
“I’m a single mom and I often wonder if I’m doing enough for the little ones. But then I realize it’s the simple things that make our lives magical,” Mickey says.
“Turns out dad always went to the gift shop and bought lots of beautiful seashells and then scattered them on the shore for us to look for. Now he does the same for his grandchildren. Happiness really is in the little things!
