Girl Who Misses Grandpa Caught On Security Cam Hugging Photo Of Him

A four-year-old missing her grandpa who lives on the other side of the country was captured on security camera taking down a photo of him, hugging it and crying while sitting on her bed. Mom Nikki Starling, 32, from Utah, said it broke her heart when she looked at the footage and saw daughter Elliot all alone in her room, hugging the photo. Eliott has an extremely close bond with her grandfather, Doug Elliot, 56, who she is named after but lives on the other side of the country, in New Smyrna Beach, Florida. The pair FaceTime regularly, but due to the distance, they only get to see each other twice a year. Nikki said that amount of time can feel like ages to Eliott, whose grandfather is her favorite person, and therefore finds the separation extremely difficult. On January 2, Nikki thought her daughter was playing in her room, but after seeing the footage, shared the clip on social media, where her daughter's reaction received an outpouring of love from people.
