The couple not only have a movie-watching routine with him but almost seem to have adopted Grandpa Delmar!
A touching moment shared by a couple and their elderly neighbor, Delmar, shows the power of simple acts of kindness. Delmar, who lives alone with his dog, often finds himself feeling lonely, so his neighbors invite him over to watch movies whenever he needs company. In a TikTok video posted by @jvlissagomez, we see Delmar sitting on the couch, engrossed in the movie. The text on the video explains, "This is Delmar, he is my neighbor. He lives alone with his dog so he comes over to watch movies with us when he feels alone. At the end of the movie, he said 'This was my favorite part of the day.'"
The video captures the warmth of the moment, showing the couple’s genuine care for Delmar and how their movie nights provide him with much-needed companionship. Many watching the video commended the couple's generosity while others adored Delmar. @roxykels said, "I think of his mama being so grateful you showed love to her baby." @its_beavers_yo commented, "Hold up… there’s a grandparent distribution system… where do I sign up." @jessgx94 chimed in, "Everyone is saying how much they love Delmar (which I also do, this is so sweet) but I also love how you open your home for him. I can imagine how happy it makes him." @sasafrass84 added, "Bless you for inviting him over. I guarantee you he looks forward to those nights."
Interestingly, the couple's connection with Delmar extends beyond movie nights. They have started a series called "Delmar Diaries," which shows daily scenes with their neighbor. In another video, the woman shares a fun and lively moment as Delmar dances with her husband. "Working on a story time! In the meanwhile, enjoy Delmar dancing with my husband," the caption reads. There’s also a video of Delmar and his neighbor sitting together, reading fun facts from newspapers. The caption says, "Being Delmar’s neighbor means reading all the fun facts he has cut out from newspapers. My favorite part of the day!"
Another sweet video shows the couple having dinner with Delmar, with him smiling as he enjoys his meal while they listen intently to his stories even after finishing their own dinner. These small, shared moments reflect the deep sense of camaraderie and affection that exists between them. One of the most beautiful and touching videos in this series shows the couple making sure Delmar isn't alone on his birthday. The woman captioned it, "Our neighbor was alone on his birthday and God knew to put our family who care too much about birthdays to celebrate with him."
The video starts with the husband asking, "What was your favorite birthday like? Where did you go?" Delmar responded by saying, "I don't remember. I don't think I went anywhere." They decided to change that and celebrate his birthday this time in the best way possible. They brought him a cake, a birthday card and went to watch "Kung Fu Panda 4" with him. At the end of the video, Delmar happily says, "I had a good time. Thank you!"
