Overwhelming love
Tucker’s post received over 13,000 reactions on Facebook, and she wrote a subsequent message expressing gratitude for having her grandmother in her life.
“I really wasn’t expecting this post to get so much attention. I was simply sharing our grandma like I normally do. She’s so full of life. It’s just a blessing to have her still here,” she wrote.
According to Tucker, they would do anything to see her smile.
She further stated that her grandmother has no idea what going viral means, but she loves attention.
“Please believe that all of this love has brightened her days! Now she’s just waiting for Steve Harvey or Tyler Perry to shout her out,” she concluded.
In January, a lady celebrated her 95-year-old grandma, saying she cooks and cleans for herself.

"When I'm not well, she can easily make food for me. I'm blessed," Minyuku wrote.
