Every now and again, a story comes along that will make you cry. That is, tears of delight. You’re in luck, because we’ve found just such a story for you today, one that will remind you of the power of family values and the pure love felt between one grandfather and his expanding number of grandchildren.
Doug Hayes of Oregon is resolved to give his grandchildren a special gift every Christmas. However, he may have topped himself this year by purchasing a gift that has gone viral for all the right reasons.Nobody can say Doug isn’t the MVP of Christmas gifts for grandchildren this year.
The grandfather of ten decided to handle things a little differently by presenting his grandchildren with a bright yellow school bus. Is that a school bus? I hear you inquire. Yes, a bus so he can drive them all to school every day and spend quality grandchild-grandfather time with them.
Fortunately, a video of his grandchildren opening the gift was shared on social media, allowing everyone to join in the celebration.”Is that all there is to it?” The youngsters can be heard asking, “You got a bus?” as they race towards their surprise. Doug explained why he did it: “I thought, gee whiz, maybe there’s some way I can give them a memory that will last all their lives.
“According to accounts, his grandchildren attend a small Christian elementary school with no school buses. The bus has been dubbed “Grandfather Express” and will run all year. Doug, who appears to be a part-time school bus driver, designed the concept himself, and we think it’s amazing! Who better than your granddad to drive you to and from school?
