Alicia Salas, a teenager from Texas, recently tweeted a photo of her grandmother, 85-year-old Josie Reza, that made the entire Internet explode in tears.
During grandma Josie’s recent birthday, her family threw her a special party “considering it was a milestone for her,” Salas said.
Salas’ family surprised their grandmother with a mariachi band… which also happened to be the last memory she shared with her late husband before he passed away.
“She enjoyed the music with my grandfather,” Salas said. “She misses him very much every day… we all miss him.”
While the band was performing “Las Mañanitas,” a song very special to the old couple, grandma Josie was seen holding a photo of her husband and clutching it to her heart.
Salas shared the heartbreaking moment on Twitter, and gave everyone the feels.
