Instagram user Connie Lynn Hanson posted the video. “Great grandma meeting and holding her newest great grandson and singing a song she sang to all the grandkids. A song my kids know very well. I love you a bushel and a peck. This night made her so happy. It’s amazing how the brain can lose so much but music somehow stays. Music really is amazing for healing and memory,” she wrote while posting the video. She also added the hashtag #dementia in her post.

Take a look at the wonderful clip:

“I used to sing that to my daughter when I first gave birth to her! Boy I forgot all about that now that she is 45 years old. Thank you for the rekindling,” wrote an Instagram user. “This was so touching,” shared another. “What a sweet sweet moment. Congratulations! And this is a very beautiful video,” commented a third.
