A loving grandpa has melted hearts around the world by helping his wife do her hair while she’s recovering from surgery.

Amy Pennington posted the photo of her grandpa hard at work, with the caption: “My grandma had surgery on her wrist and couldn’t do her own hair so my grandpa did it for her. Cuteness overload.”

Pennington’s snap has been retweeted more than 89,000 times, with hundreds of people commenting on the oh-so-sweet image.

While some people can’t handle the cuteness...

 

Others are more impressed with her grandma’s mirror selfie skills.

If we’re anything like this grandma when we’re older, we’ll be happy.

Earlier this year great-granddad Jack Reynolds became the world's oldest person to receive their first tattoo - and he did it all for charity.

Reynolds went under the needle on his 104th birthday and had the words "Jacko 6.4.1912" tattooed on his upper arm.

In doing so he raised thousands of pounds for Ashgate Hospice in North Derbyshire.

The image was posted onto Facebook by Redd Desmond Thomas along with the caption: "The young guy sitting down was struggling with his tie. The woman in the red coat noticed, and asked 'Do you know how to tie it properly?' The young guy said 'No ma'am'.

"The older gentleman moved without hesitation (almost a reflex response) and gave him a step-by-step tutorial."
