When this woman turned 88, her incredible neighbors decided to throw her the sweetest surprise birthday party! It wasn’t just any party, either. Not only did they put together a beautiful spread of tasty treats, but they also filled the house with decorations! A young woman named Alec on TikTok shared some adorable footage of the party.
One of the best parts of this video is the elderly woman’s reaction upon walking into the surprise party thrown by her neighbors. She was clearly so touched by their thoughtfulness! It seemed like she was getting pretty emotional by the time she blew out the candles on her cake.
Even the neighborhood dogs were in on the surprise! There were two pooches in party hats at the gathering, and they looked like they were having the best time. At one point, the birthday girl was cuddling one of these pups in her lap!
These awesome neighbors certainly gave this elderly woman a surprise birthday party to remember. Commenters absolutely loved seeing footage from the sweet celebration!
“She probably thought she’d never have her life celebrated again at that age,” wrote one user.
Another added, “My favorite part is everyone yelling the surprise part at a reasonable volume.”
A third commented, “Intergenerational friendships are so cool, and so important… for everyone.”
This last statement couldn’t be more true, especially for elderly people who have lost friends and loved ones. Loneliness can be devastating at that age, so it helps to have young people and children who are willing to check in!
We’re so glad the 88-year-old woman in this video has such amazing neighbors to throw her a surprise birthday party. That’s the kind of thing that will keep her young!
