He is 99 years old and didn’t sit down for even a second.
While the bride walked toward the altar and all the guests held up their phones to record, he pulled out his own video camera, the one he has kept for decades, the one he probably used to film family birthdays, graduations, and other weddings. He never put it down. He adjusted the angle, found the focus, and remained standing with the steady hand of someone who didn’t want to miss a single moment.
No one had to ask him. At 99 years old, that was his gift to his granddaughter: to remain standing for as long as necessary so that day would never be forgotten. When someone loves you like that, they don’t need to say it with words.
