Watch this grandfather tear up over a memory blanket featuring the love of his life

A warm dose of nostalgia brought a widowed grandfather to tears in Kerrville, Texas.

For more than five decades, Ruben Ramirez and his beloved wife Jessie shared a beautiful life. Sadly, Jesse died in July 2024, leaving Ruben grief-stricken and lonely.

Nighttimes were the worst. The bed seemed empty without the love of his life.

Ruben told his granddaughter, Savannah, that he'd think of her grandma every night before going to sleep. That gave Savannah an idea. And as Christmas approached she came up with the perfect gift to comfort her grandfather when he needed it most.

Watch Ruben tear up over a memory blanket featuring the love of his life below.

At the bottom of the blanket held the sweetest message, "So that she can still go to bed with you."

Thanks to a blanket full of memories, Ruben can now rest easy, knowing that the love he shared with Jessie is always by his side.
