Taryn has captured some truly heart-warming moments on camera of her son spending time with her grandpa, who has been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. In the clips, TJ is seen offering his great-grandfather warm hugs and lending him a helping hand to get around. He even assists him in navigating the front door to step outside.

The mother mentioned how kids can sense when someone is going through a tough time and needs extra love. According to the mother, TJ’s great papa always says that the little boy helps him fight his illness.
In her words, “It’s tough to watch our loved ones deteriorate, but seeing our youth bring them back to life is truly a beautiful experience.”
