A Cuban has moved thousands of users on social media by sharing a video of himself dancing with his 93-year-old grandmother, in a moment filled with tenderness and family connection.

The video, posted on TikTok by the user identified as @mulatocubanojimen, shows the young man enjoying a lively dance with the elderly woman, both smiling and wearing sunglasses, in what appears to be the living room of a house.

About the video, the grandson wrote: “I am a lucky man to be able to dance with my 93-year-old grandmother,” accompanied by heart and victory emojis.

The scene, free from any ostentation, reflects an intimate and genuine moment between generations, something that has particularly resonated with those who have lost their grandparents or live far from them.

The comments quickly multiplied, many filled with nostalgia and gratitude. "Sure blessings and long life for your grandmother, my bro. I don’t know you, but no one knows how much I wish, before and after watching your video, that I could enjoy the warmth and love of my grandparents who, due to life's circumstances, are no longer here. Cherish her every day, man," wrote a user.

Another person commented: “May God grant you good health, blessings, a hug, and a happy new year to the whole family.” Meanwhile, another message, visibly emotional, said: “Whew, long life and blessings for grandma. I would give my life for mine to be alive. That's the best thing you will remember in your life, cherish her and love her; grandmothers are #1.”

There were also those who confessed how much they miss their grandparents: "Thank God every day for that. How much I would give for just a moment with mine."

The video has become a reminder of the value of small moments and the privilege of spending time with loved ones, especially with those who have accumulated nearly a century of stories and experiences.

Amidst the many difficult news stories circulating daily on social media, scenes like this demonstrate that family, affection, and gratitude continue to unite and move thousands of people both inside and outside of Cuba.
