This woman's adorable video compilation of her grandfather, aka granddad, greeting her at the door is getting a lot of love on Twitter.

Jennifer Barclay, 24, of Scotland, filmed her granddad, Robert, 87, for a number of weeks and captured his sweet reactions to her arriving at his house.

"I try to visit him once a week," Barclay told "Good Morning America." "On a normal visit, we have a cup of tea and a catch up. I just filmed him because I loved his reaction to seeing me."
