After a grandma humbled herself to apologise to her grandchild, an emotional moment went viral on the internet.

Despite the age gap between her and the youngster, the grandma was shown in the widely shared video expressing regret and opting to publicly apologise.

The heartwarming event was posted with a comment clarifying that the elderly woman had mistakenly accused the child of stealing her phone before discovering it.

“Your grandma realizes she was wrong and chooses humility over pride,” the post captioned.

Since elders are rarely seen apologising to younger people in this way, many have regarded the incident as a rare example of humility.

There have been numerous responses. “This is deep, not many elders can do this,” a person said. “This is how to build trust with children; I’m actually emotional watching this,” said another.

Many people have praised the grandma for her bravery and honesty in owning up to her error, and the video has continued to make people happy on the internet.
