Andy Grammer Misses Late Mom, Buys Old Lady's Meal. Both Cry & Hug When She Reveals Son Died
When pop artist Andy Grammer saw a group of five elderly women eating in a restaurant, he had a strong urge to pay for their meal. The conversation that followed is absolutely heartwarming.
Andy’s mother, Kathy Grammer, passed away in 2009, but her son is keeping her legacy alive through his music and the way he loves others.
He even gave his daughter the middle initial “K” in hopes that she will always have a piece of her grandmother with her. In a post he shared on the ninth anniversary of her death, Andy shared a picture of him and his daughter at his mother’s grave.
He wrote, “I hope she will have your playfulness, your spirit, your sense of justice, your love of chocolate, your faith, and your thirst for depth in life. One thing for sure is that she’s already got your blue eyes.”
In further tribute to his mom his single “Give Love,” paints a picture of just how loving his mother was. He points to her positive spirit by calling her a “sunshine solider” in the first verse.
The rest of the song shares advice that she had given to Andy before she died. “‘Cause in the end, the love we take’s, got nothing on the love we make, so give love,” he sings.
The love Andy has for his mom is something so many people can relate to and that’s why his recent Instagram post that described a sweet moment in a restaurant went viral.
He was eating breakfast when he looked over and noticed a group of “SUPER CUTE elderly ladies” also eating.
Something about the five women made him miss his mom a little extra so he decided to pay for their meal.
He said that he normally would just pay for the meal anonymously and leave without saying anything, but he instead decided to tell them that he missed his mom. “They might like to hear that,” he thought.
He had no idea just how true that thought would be.
When he walked up and explained why he was paying for their meal, one woman named Mary looked up at him with tears welling in her eyes. “Come here,” she said. “I lost my son and I really needed this.” She later told Andy that her son had passed away six years ago from cancer.
The two hugged each each other and got the hug they didn’t know they would need that day.
“So, I don’t know how the world works. I don’t know how the universe works,” Andy said in a video uploaded to his Facebook. “But I know that for some reason, I needed a hug from a mom and she needed a hug from a son.”
Andy left the restaurant in tears, but was so thankful for the sweet reminder that we are all connected.
