There are certain moments in our life that are special and we are going to try to hold onto those moments for as long as possible. These are the moments that make us smile and make our hearts melt, and they don’t come around every day.

Sometimes, we have to wait for these moments to arrive but when they do come, we just hope that we can hold onto that feeling for a very long time. That is what the man experienced in this video, and they were able to share it with the world.

Dewey Muirhead is a World War II veteran and he is 101 years old. There are very few World War II veterans left in the United States, but he managed to stick it out long enough to witness something that would be very special to him.

It was a surprise for the family and an experience that he had never had before. He was about to meet his first great-great-grandchild and it is a beautiful thing to see.

Millie Fowler is the little girl that he was able to meet. As you watch the video below, keep in mind that these two span a five-generation gap. It’s absolutely amazing and not something that you see every day.

At first, the grandfather is sitting in a chair and there’s blindfolded so he can’t see the little girl next to him. The parents, who are there to share the joy with him are his great-granddaughter and her husband.

When they take the blindfold off, it takes him a moment to adjust to what he is seeing. Suddenly, the confusion begins to melt away and he makes eye contact with the little girl for the first time. You can really see the emotion on his face.

Fortunately, they took a video and you can watch it for yourself right here. It is sure to make you smile from the inside.

@abigailoglenews A MEETING 101 YEARS IN THE MAKING! WWII Vet Dewey Muirhead (101 years old) meeting his first ever great-great-grandchild… baby Millie Fowler. Dewey served in the Army Air Corp. Served mainly in France. He now lives in Wewoka, Oklahoma. Baby Millie and her family live in nearby Asher, OK. Millie’s mama (Dewey’s great-granddaughter) sent me this video saying she wanted to share her joy with everyone. And she called her great-grandfather a true American hero.
