A Liverpool nan has been left ‘crying’ after her grandson's very kind gesture.
Alfie Gough missed his nan, Aileen Gough, from Kensington, so much he asked his mum if he could make a special delivery.
The eight-year-old ‘shocked’ his mum by asking if he could take the 67-year-old some flowers and chocolates.
Alfie’s mum, Karen Gough, who lives in Widnes, told the ECHO: "At the time she was shocked and absolutely beside herself.
"She is still crying on the phone to us about it now. They have a lovely bond and she is just really made up."
Karen said in the last lockdown her mum was in their bubble so Alfie could see his nan but this time round she took the decision to protect her mum and not allow visits.
The 39-year-old added: "Last lockdown he went as a key worker child to school. He found it hard but nan was in our secure bubble so she was seeing him. This time he is struggling and he is missing her a lot.
"I felt like I needed to protect her more but yesterday he said ‘I really feel like I need to see my nan’.
"His nan isn’t very into social media and she can’t use technology properly so he said ‘Mum, why can’t I go hand her some flowers and chocolates because I'm really missing her’."
Alfie said he can’t wait for his nan to be vaccinated so that he can hug her and spend time with her again.
