Tap duo, 10 year old and her Grandfather💗

I posted a small clip of this yesterday I my instagram and so many loved it I decided to share the entire dance. This is my 10 year old daughter Maeve tapping with her 72 year old (yes amazing) Grandfather ( My father-in-law). Maeve asked her Gramps to enter a tap duo in her summer recital. After only 6 classes to learn and practice (choreographed by Elyse Williamson of From The Top Dance Center in Reading, MA) this is their recital performance. 💗💙

Who can say they danced with their grand pa ON Stage. This is so memorable bor both.

I can’t believe how many people gave this a thumbs down. What is wrong with YOU? This brought unexpected, unexplainable tears to my eyes, of JOY. God bless the two of them. I loved this.

[@ILikeFireify]

My thoughts exactly, why? I do think there are people who are bored or just mean that watch these videos and give them a thumbs down just because. How sad and lonely they must be. I think those of us who truly feel sad for those people could do something positive and concrete by praying that they will find joy in their lives.

[@margaretlee-reed814]

Proof we live in a sick world for sure. The bond & love between them was reason enough to enjoy. Psychopaths lack normal emotions. Went right over their heads. 🤷

Watching this made me reminisce on my years with my grandpa. Although it's been decades ago, I feel like it was only yesterday. I am now 52 years old,still each night I say a prayer for him. May God bless them both with more years to enjoy life's blessings..🙏🙏🙏
