The 84-year-old woman was just so happy to receive that small gift from her mother!
Mothers are selfless, and for them, their children will always be their babies, irrespective of their age. Proving this, was a 107-year-old woman who gave her 84-year-old daughter a piece of candy she reportedly got from a wedding. The heartwarming video was shared in 2019, by People's Daily, China, on their Twitter handle, with the caption: "The happiest child in the world! A 107-year-old mother gave her 84-year-old daughter a piece of candy that the mom took back from a wedding ceremony."
The video's since been shared and reshared, melting hearts all over the world.
Recently, it was shared by Good News Movement on Instagram and has garnered some really sweet messages from people everywhere.

Singer-songwriter Imelda May shared: "Oh my heart. I used to work in a nursing home. A woman who was 103 used to get excited when her “baby son” was coming to visit. He’d arrive slowly on his zimmerframe straight to his mother’s awaiting arms." Rodney Smit Jr. added, "Her face lit up when she saw it was candy 😍❤️"
While several comments spoke about the bond between a mother and a daughter, some pointed out just how lucky the 84-year-old woman was to be able to still have a mother, something that not many people have the privilege of.

Several moms also left comments on the post, tagging their daughters, saying that they will always be their "little girl", even when they're old and gray, because that's just how it is. A mother knows only to love and sacrifice their needs, just to make sure their children are content and comfortable.
Even if you think that you can never be as giving and understanding as your mother, it will all change from the minute you find out that you are all set to welcome another person into your world, your family. You will grow to love them unconditionally and will learn to overlook their shortcomings and cheer them on when they accomplish even the smallest things in life, because as Sophia Lauren said, “When you are a mother, you are never really alone in your thoughts. A mother always has to think twice, once for herself and once for her child.”
And for this mother, nothing is more rewarding than that innocent smile from her 84-year-old daughter, who was satisfied with something as small and simple as a piece of candy!
