We are truly blessed to have the opportunity to spend precious time with our grandparents. There’s something incredibly special about the bond between grandparents and their grandchildren. Grandma and grandpa often surprise us—not just with their wisdom, but also with their surprisingly sharp sense of humor and even their advanced sense of style. They’ve lived through decades of changing fashion trends, and sometimes, their hand-me-downs end up being the most stylish pieces in our wardrobe. Macklemore said it best when he rapped about thrift shopping—sometimes the best treasures come straight from granddad’s closet.
In one of his most heartwarming gestures yet, Macklemore took his love and appreciation for family to a new level. In the music video for his hit song Glorious, he flies out to Modesto, California, to surprise his grandmother, Helen, for her 100th birthday. Rather than throwing a traditional party, Macklemore spent the entire day with her doing everything she wanted—from driving a convertible through the streets of Modesto to going bowling, causing mischief at a tattoo parlor, and even egging a house (with permission, of course). The video captures the joyful spirit of their relationship and the pure fun they shared that day.
What makes it so touching is that it’s not just a birthday celebration—it’s a celebration of life, love, and the importance of family. His grandmother steals the show with her charm, wit, and spunky personality. It reminds us all that time spent with our elders is priceless.
