This is how a healthy community is supposed to be

They’re keeping Paul alive, that’s for sure.

Not only do the children have an honorary grandpa, but their interactions will help him live healthier and longer. Elderly loneliness is real.

His wife passed but God sent these angels to look after him until he joins her on the other side!!! Damn this is beautiful 🥹🥹❤

"It's easy to love, it's hard to hate" -Grandpa Paul

At 79 very close to 80 years old, I would love a family to adopt me. What a great story of there is no colour.

When I moved into my current address my daughter became attached to this elderly couple upstairs. The husband is a retired veteran and wife a retired seamstress. They are my kids grandparents for now 8 years and I am eternally grateful for them. My kids both run into their arms and say grandpa and grandma with the biggest smile everyday to them.

This is what the Love Of God looks like.

“Love Thy Neighbor” -God

I wouldn't mind having an extra grandpa. This is pure joy for these kids

“I’ve never met a person I didn’t like. It’s easy to like, it’s hard to hate.” ❤️

This is what God calls us to do is love each other. "Love thy neighbor as thy self" What a blessing for everyone

It’s easy to love, it’s hard to hate. Paul is a beautiful man. Those children must bring him so much joy.

I love how the older generation knows their neighbors. This is old school. ❤

Aww he walked him back across the street 😊 this is so sweet

Y'all have a heart of gold God bless your entire family.

What a beautiful story. Brought tears to my eyes. Why can’t we all be like this?

The fact that we don’t see stories like this often is sad…

"Its easy to like, hard to hate"

The children walked him home to made sure he made it safe, he turns around and walks them back to make sure they are safe. That moved me to tears! So beautiful ❤

The same thing happened to my father, before he died.After my mom died, my father a Jamaican lived alone in their family home in Florida.On the opposite side of the street was a young American white couple with their kids.They loved my father so much, they practically adopted him.The kids loved to spend time with him.The parents regularly brought him meals, took him to the doctor, go for walks with him etc.Unfortunately, us, his own adult kids were living too far away in other states.I was living in Italy at the time.When the parents called me and told me that I needed to come soon because he was in his last days, I immediately boarded a flight.Fortunately I arrived just in time.Thank you Michelle and Beau! Your love and care will forever stay in my heart.

“Children are precious” yup & so are our senior citizens 🫶🏽💕💕

Just imagine if it was like this all over the world. I'm glad they are also raising their children right. We need more parents/neighbors like this.

What a sweet man and a kind family

How SWEET was he to offer the car seats right away

When the little kids want to hug you, you know that's their grandpa.

"That's what happens when you don't brush your teeth!" Thank you for sharing. 💖

I have been blessed that over the past few years, I have been the "adopted" dad of my neighbour's children. Her husband died, tragically, leaving her with young children. His last words to me were to beg me to watch over his family, which I have done. Although people are used to it now, at first I would get😮 strange looks, they are British Asian, I am white. I've tried to do what their own father would have done, advising them as they grew, helping with homework, telling them off if necessary, and so on. A while ago, next-door had a workman in. He stood and watched as I was spending time with the children, then came up and said, "This is amazing! Those children are going to remember you all of their lives." I felt so proud at that moment, I felt like a dad. I'm thankful that I live in an area that still upholds the importance of community, of caring, and of a willingness to go the extra mile for your neighbours.

This is the era that I grew up in. We adopted our older neighbors and made them part of the family. They watched us while we played and gave a feeling of security. No anxiety, no social awkwardness. The parents talked to one another and helped one another. Grandparents who did not have biological family near by had village families. We were blessed.

Paul has learned in his 82 years that LOVE is the answer. And that GOD Is LOVE. Enjoy your Grandpa. They don't grow on trees. GOD bless you ALL.

Sounds like some good parents to me

Elderly people make me happy...like kids

Paul is so sweet ❤🥹. My family moved to a neighborhood where we were the only Black family and we had a neighbor like Paul. Ms. Melba ❤ she lived next door. We would share our gardens 🥰 . I would go over to house to talk… I’ve always loved talking to the elderly… I was 7 years old going to go play with Ms. Melba. Her son worked for a snack company and when he came to visit her he found out she had a little friend 😁, he started bringing me bags of snacks… I couldn’t believe it ❤🥹🥰 I was thankful ☺️. I remember all the kids asking me why I got those snacks,… at that time I didn’t really know why… but as I got older I realized that I was the only child that visited her house just to talk and play 😊. My parents and Ms. Melba shared gardens ❤. No one else on our block talked to Ms Melba …. She was my first friend in my new neighborhood Thank you Ms Melba ❤ love u 😘

This is how the WHOLE world should be……

“I always try to leave people smiling.” Mission accomplished Paul.

Proof that there are still kind people in the world.

This is how neighbors should be.

This is what true love between people of the world looks like. They didn’t have to do that for him but cared enough about him to let him into their family and stay, that’s real appreciation and love

Stop it... This is literally what I needed today. People love to just disregard the elderly because sometimes it's tough to try and slow down so they can keep up, be it mentally or physically. These people are making sure his glory years arent filled with loneliness, but filled with the love that comes with a family.

i can't even express how incredible this is.

He really said "I've never met a person I didn't like" 🥺🥺🥺

The kids walk him back to his door, then he makes sure they got home safely!!! Love it!!!

What a blessing to have a kind old man like him!! These children will grow up to not be racist. Lovely!

im 57 old white guy my dad passed in 2018 my mom in 2008 all my grandparents passed years ago. i helped a real nice black lady for years she passed in 2020 at age 92 she was a 5th grandparent to me when she passed it was like my mom or dad had passed i hope the rest of you can find a person like her she had a heart of gold

This reminds me so much of our neighbor Alice an old black woman we, my siblings and i cared alot for we were little but still remember her everyime we saw her we ran to say hello she would bring a piece of candy or something to give us she was so lovely kind hearted. She lived alone with llike 6 dogs. Sometimes when she got sick we visited her took her flowers or just to see if she may needed something. I remember every Sunday she would dress up to go to church looking so elegant. It was like that for many years untill she passed away 😭. We still have a picture of her in my moms house. I miss her i wish i would have been older to get to know her better.

I love how he said “you get many chances to talk to people. If you don’t take a chance, you may miss a friend you would have had.” That’s how I see the world too. I try and talk to as many strangers as I can. Sometimes I make their day and it makes me happy. Go and strike up a conversation at the waiter or the grocery shop. It really makes your day too ☺️

I would love to have a grandparent to love on. This is super cool.

This is what make America Great....

I love this. One thing I have noticed in my life is that most people are not as bad as you think. A smile and a simple "Hello. How are you doing today?" is often all it takes to get the ball rolling. We live in a world where many of us are scared of each other, so we brace ourselves for tough interactions from the start. A little gentleness goes a longggg way ❤

This brings a big smile on my face!

😂❤ such a joy not him walking back around the street 😂❤

This is so beautiful

“It’s easy to like, it’s hard to hate” Love this!

LOVE HAS NO COLOR. THIS IS PROOF OF THAT. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

To fear a place were your going to leave based on your skin color is just so sad. Nice they found this wondelful neighbor.

His wife can see him being cared for. What more could someone want for a loved one they have to leave behind in the physical world?

What a fantastic thing he said: "It is easy to love and it is hard to hate"!!!!

I’ve decided I want to be like him!

Such a beautiful story it warms my heart in such a hard times that humanity is going through

its great to have grandparents close by how dope is that

Is that simple to get along. What a pleace America would be if we lived like this.

I'm happy but I'm crying. This is precious.

To feel Heaven on Earth. While we have life, make love lead the way and take control. ❤

How nice it is that you can and will do that for your elderly neighbour! And the children are learning valuable lessons from all if your interactions.😊

God bless them they are showing how to love thy neighbor

Being an elder is not easy

My 80yr old mother has the most wonderful neighbors. I live 7hrs from her and it's good knowing people watch out for her besides our extended family. She loves her neighbors & they love her. Thanks humanity, From a Grateful Daughter

Every family deserves a Paul, and every Paul deserves a family ♥️

We need more people like this guy. It warms my heart that they accepted this man as a honorary family member and how they watch out for each other. This is truly a beautiful story!!!

This is my family dynamic, too! Blood does not always mean family, some strangers treat you better than your own family members 😊

Is easy to like, hard to hate Sincerely, Grandpa ❤

What a beautiful story I’m so glad

*I've lost all three of my grandfathers, which includes a step-grandpa. 😢 Oh, what I would do to live next door to such a loving and kind-hearted man. My two boys and I would adopt him in a heartbeat. Thanks for sharing such a wonderful testimony of what it means to LOVE THY NEIGHBOR and the children are being taught so many valuable lessons.* 🙏🏾

What a good man. I wish he was my neighbor

I want to be more like Paul

Some people no.matter what color their skin is .are just born to be angels and the spreader of love and goodness in this world .what a wonderful family

My brother and his family kinda have a neighbour like that too. Their neighbour lives alone and doesn't have any family. Every week the whole family goes to visit him and it makes him so happy. He loves the kids and they often make drawings and other artsy things for him. There are many lonely elderly that would love visits like this.

"Its easy to like.... It's hard to hate" I like that....

This is beautiful how we all should be the world would be so much better if we were. Spread positivity and love .

He’s soooo invited to the barbecue, love this for him

I love this video!! This is about real people and humanity!! I'm old and I would do the same thing!! This is what our country needs now!! Loving, kind and caring people!! What a wonderful video!!

I love this i adore everything i seen about this video it really warms my heart he loves them and they absolutely love him back he is they're family

Doesn't matter what color or walk of life you are, if you're a good neighbor, you'll get good neighbors. Easy as that.

Beautiful story. We older folks have a lot to offer. People tend to forget about us.

Love this family so beautiful this is what the world needs more love and compassion ❤

Prime example of how easy it really is to just let go and love....

You can tell just being around those kids means so much to him.

We Are ALL GOD'S Children and Should all take note of this lovely family's example! May GOD continue to Bless you all !

Community becomes family in the best cases

When I was growing up up in Las Cruces NM. My mother and sister’s adopted an elderly couple till death. Grandma Dilling and Grandpa Dilling. My mother was by their sides at death. Their own biological children disowned them. When the Dillings’ past away all the sudden their biological children showed up to fight over the house etc. sad. To this day we still talk and remember the Dillings our adopted grandparents that loved us unconditionally.

Nice to hear some good news!

This is sweet. Nothing wrong with adopting elderly people. They deserve love and care too.

Such a beautiful story . We need more of these ❤

Such a beautiful family

Happy to see that he took the first step to welcome the family to the neighborhood. God bless them all 😊😊😊

My neighbour was part of my family. She was at all our birthdays, any party, or just because. We were in each others houses multiple times a week. I loved her like a grandmother and we just lost her last week. Our lives will never be the same.😢

I've seen a couple of stories about this union. I keep watching to build my faith in humanity. Awesome❤❤❤

That's nice. There are still good people out there. Your kids have grandpa, and he has grandchildren, though not by blood, the joy of relating is priceless. Good examples to the universe.

Mr Paul is living his purpose

That's what humanity should be. Neighbors helping neighbors.
