After her first video with Jean went viral, TikTok viewers were dying to know more about Katie’s relationship with her.
In a follow-up video, Katie revealed that besides the occasional outdoor chat about gardening, the evening she filled with Jean was their first time spending quality time together.
“I’ve never actually hung out with her, so that was just really special,” says Katie.
“I’m so glad that you guys [loved] it. I also lost both my grandparents when I was young, so I never really had a lot of time with them. So it’s really, really sweet.”
In her follow-up video, Katie also explained that Jean’s adult son lives on her property in a “mother-in-law suite,” so she has family around her.
Katie revealed that Jean also loves a good puzzle and getting sweet letters, so she decided to open a P.O. box that would allow TikTok viewers to send those things to Jean. In another video, Jean can be heard saying that the idea is “so sweet” and “so fun.”
“I do plan on doing more things with [Jean],” says Katie in one of her videos.
“I’ll ask her if she minds if I take you all along. I do wanna try to get our nails done.”
Katie’s videos with Jean and this lovely neighborly experience show just how much of an impact we can make on the lives of our elderly friends and family by simply offering them some company and a listening ear.
We’re so touched to see how much joy Katie and Jean have brought to each other, and we can’t wait to see what they get to do together next.
@katiewood____ everyone meet Jean!!! She’s my 76 year old widowed neighbor ?
