20 precious photos of grandparents that made us hug ours a little bit tighter

If there’s a set of people parents love more than their kids, it’s their grandkids. There’s a certain level of truth on the trope of spoiled grandchildren who somehow grow a bit more beautiful or handsome every year. They may not be as athletic or as keen as they once were, but their love only grows each passing day.

See how these grandparents bond with the people who mean the world to them. Whether it’s playing video games, strolling around, or just being your number one fan, grandparents will always be the most precious people around.
