My parents are the most incredibly generous people I know and decided to get my grandfather the car he's always wanted. It was great because he thought that it was a birthday gift for me. Please don't mind my dad's nonsense in the background, he was just joking with my Aunt and my Grandma. Grandpa was just so cute that I had to share. Also, apologies for my camera work.

  • *Final Update...* I am sorry to say that this will be my last update on Pop Pop. On December 10th, his loving wife, my Grandma, "Ma" passed on from this life. Last night, December 14th, he went on to join his "Honey." They were married 65 years, were loving parents to 3 wonderful kids, the best grandparents in the world to the 6 luckiest grandchildren, and the happiest great grandparents of 5 beautiful great granddaughters. I have personally been beyond blessed to have been supported by, loved by, and cherished by these incredible people for 29 years, and I feel completely lost without them. Thank you all for your kind words, prayers, and for inquiring about my sweet Pop Pop's health and well being. He got a kick out of this video going viral, he enjoyed being able to say he finally had a Mercedes, and he loved being surrounded by the family he adored and who adored him back. At least I have this sweet, silly video to look back on and smile. 💗 P. S. No, sadly we will not be buring him in the Mercedes. He'd probably want us to try! Haha 😆😭💔

    “It’s your birthday”. “Doesn’t matter”. What a beautiful family. Him welling up like that is like the best present you could get anyway.
  • *UPDATE* Pop Pop will be 92 in June, and he is no longer driving the Mercedes himself. When the weather is nice, we'll drive him around with the top down. 😊 He still loves that car, and shows it off to his buddies. 😁
  • *UPDATE* Pop Pop has had a sharp decline in his health over the past few months. He has been diagnosed with congestive heart failure. He is on oxygen, and spends a lot of time in bed. We are working on getting physical therapists to come in throughout the week to help him gain some strength back and to keep his muscles from atrophying. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers. So many of you have been so kind, and the joy this video has brought to so many is an absolute pleasure to us. Now, we need positive thoughts/vibes/prayers for Pop Pop. Thank you to all those who have continued to check in on this man that I have loved so dearly for my whole life. It is wonderful to see so many adoring him from afar. Love to you all! xoxo 💕
  • thumbnail looks like your grandpa's about to spit the hardest rap freestyle of 2017

    I never had a grandfather, or a grandmother...or even a father. But I knew I wanted to end that cycle, and become the best father and grandfather I could be. I have two grown biological sons, two non biological grown daughters, and 10 grandkids now. They are MY Mercedes! Thanks for posting this video.

    Its nice to see there is people who do nice things for their grandparents
  • *UPDATE* Thank you all so much for your prayers and well-wishes! Pop Pop has been in a rehab facility for the last 2 weeks, and it has been such a blessing! He is feeling great, regaining his strength, and is in good spirits! We are hoping he'll be home for Christmas. 🤞🏻🙏🏻😁😍 You are all so sweet for checking in on our guy! Thank you, everyone! 🥰💕

    Fulfilling a lifetime dream of your parents or grandparents is priceless. It's not the cost of the car that matters to them. It's the act of giving it that makes it so special to them.

    Brought a tear to my eye. Once a car guy, always a car guy. Thanks for putting a smile on our faces
  • @jillrayes6700
    That was a beautiful moment. Why do people have to be so harsh? Maybe this is the time in his children's lives that they can now afford to buy him his dream car. So what if he is old. He can enjoy it until.... 😋

    Honestly, this is one of my most favourite videos I ever saw on YouTube. What a wonderful thing to do for an elderly gentleman.
