A recent viral video is reminding us all about the importance of spending time with our older loved ones.

Creator Dave Wyckoff (@davidwyckoff1) shared an emotional moment with his 95-year-old Uncle Bob, and the internet can’t get enough.

A Fishing Trip to Remember

In the now-viral clip, Dave explains that he told Uncle Bob he’d take him fishing.

When he arrived 15 minutes early, Bob was already geared up and waiting—a moment that has since touched millions.

“He thinks he’s a burden, but I enjoy these fishing days with him more than he will ever know,” Dave shared in the caption.

The video captures Uncle Bob sitting on the tailgate of a truck, excitement in his eyes, dressed in a Bass Pro Shops hat, eager to hit the water.
