Ruth Crowe is an 84-year-old grandma who lives in a nursing home. She has dementia and has been through some tough times, including a fight with pneumonia. But every single morning, her 25-year-old granddaughter, Laura Schulman, brings her a cup of coffee. They’ve been best friends since the day Laura was born.

One day, Laura had an extra-special surprise. Grandma Ruth couldn’t come to Laura’s wedding because of her health. It was too risky for her to travel or be around crowds. But Laura didn’t want Grandma to miss out.

So, she did something beautiful. Laura put on her wedding dress and went straight to the nursing home so her grandma could see her dressed up on her big day. And the look on Ruth’s face? Pure joy.
