Observe the age-old default snail mail signature, “love, Nan,” after every tweet. SO FREAKING ADORABLE.
Not to mention her complete and utter love for her 21-year-old grandson.

That’s the thing about grandparents: if you’re lucky enough to get a good one, they will have your back whether you win or lose. They just love you unconditionally like that.
And if you’re especially lucky, you may get one who’ll broadcast exactly how much she loves you to the world. Just like our fave #OlympicNan!
