A heartwarming TikTok video featuring 105-year-old matriarch and great-grandmother of University of Delaware wide receiver Sean Wilson has captured hearts across the internet, offering a timeless message of optimism, faith, and resilience.
In the video, posted by Wilson and captioned “105 years young‼️”, the student-athlete introduces his great-grandmother to his followers, saying:
“What you don’t know is I have a great grandma who’s 105 years old, and she wants to come on here and talk to y’all.”
And talk she did—with humor, clarity, and wisdom earned over more than a century of life.
“I’m 105 years old, and I’m in good shape—my body, everything except my feet as most old people have,” she said with a smile. “I’m just thankful to the Lord for letting me live… I never thought I would live to be 105.”
Her gratitude was matched by a hopeful outlook. Far from viewing her age as an endpoint, she looked to the future:
“I’m looking forward to not having 105, but a few more… and maybe seeing some great-great-great-grandchildren.”
But it was her motivational message to viewers—young and old—that truly stood out:
“If I can live to be 105, which I am, then I think you can live to do it too. Don’t look back. Look forward to living a long time.”
With a touch of humor, she ended the video by noting she still rides her bike:
“It’s out in the garage. I wore out one, so I’m on another one now.”
The video serves not only as a touching family tribute but as a rare firsthand reminder of the power of perspective. In an age of constant distractions and instant gratification, her words cut through: health is a gift, gratitude is essential, and the best years might still be ahead.
Sean Wilson’s video has resonated deeply with users across TikTok and beyond.
“Granny look no older than 70 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥,” someone commented.
