Toddler’s Heartfelt Farewell to Grandfather Warms Hearts

When it comes to farewells, they can be bittersweet, but for 2-year-old Camille Madeline Louis, her goodbye to her grandfather was nothing short of precious. In North Carolina, Colette Louis, Camille’s mother and the curator of her daughter’s Instagram page, captured a moment that tugs at our heartstrings.

The scene unfolds as Colette and Camille prepare to leave after a visit with Camille’s grandfather, Tony Collins, a former player for the New England Patriots. Their parting is a tender exchange of blown kisses, highlighting the deep connection between the grandfather and his granddaughter.

What makes this goodbye truly memorable is Camille’s heartfelt reaction. When her grandfather bids her farewell with a gentle, “See you later, baby,” Camille, with a thoughtful expression that belies her young age, turns to her mother and earnestly says, “I hope I see him.”

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love1 Corinthians 13:13.

Verse of the Day

“Simeon took him in his arms and praised God, saying: “Sovereign Lord, as you have promised, you may now dismiss your servant in peace. For my eyes have seen your salvation, which you have prepared in the sight of all nations: a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and the glory of your people Israel.””

Luke 2:28-32
