Ethan Beckton’s great-grandmother lay on her deathbed with one last wish she hoped would come true: to let him sing her to sleep.
The young man entered her hospital room, ready to play guitar, and sang to her as requested.
What he played would make anyone cry.
The grandson sang one final song. Ethan has been involved in music and made sure to fulfill his dying great-grandmother’s last wish.
He sat down next to her with his guitar and started playing. An incredibly beautiful moment which fortunately was filmed.
He began strumming the cords for Eric Clapton’s “Tears in Heaven.” He sang his beloved great-grandmother to sleep. “Must have made her so proud,” a person wrote in the comments on the video that Ethan posted to TikTok. A lot of people expressed how incredibly moved they were by it.
“It must have been so hard for you to do, but you sang so beautifully. I truly sympathize with your grief,” one wrote.
“This is so special. What a beautiful memory you now have to carry with you,” another commented.
“Your great-grandmother must have thought you are the best singer ever. This must have made her so proud,” one user said,
Ethan wrote in the caption of the video, “Her last wish was for me to sing to her before she died. I love you forever.”
