Grandfather’s Emotional Homecoming After Hospital Discharge Elicits Reactions Online
SUBIC, ZAMBALES – A grandfather’s emotional homecoming after being discharged from the hospital goes viral online.
Recently, Anika Arrojo, a TikTok user, shared a touching video of her grandfather after being discharged from the hospital. The video immediately circulated and elicited comments from the online community.
Arrojo shared that her grandfather, who had been in the hospital for six days due to fever and vomiting, was always concerned about whether his grandchildren had enough food during his absence. His constant worry for his family shows the deep bond he shared with them.
“Naisipan po ng mga bata na i-surprise kasi po sobrang miss na nila si Lolo. Umiyak po si Lolo ko kasi po mahal na mahal po talaga namin siya gusto po namin ma-feel niya ‘yun araw araw”, Anika shared.
Anika revealed that her grandfather had previously suffered a stroke, which left half of his body immobilized. He was diagnosed with pneumonia and emphysema, adding to the family’s worries about his health.
Despite his health challenges, the video of his return home has become an inspiration. The TikTok video, which has garnered 2.4 million views, resonated with netizens who were moved by the close-knit relationship between Anika’s family and their beloved grandfather.
