A Lithuanian woman living stateside has captured the heartfelt moments her children spend with her parents.

Spending time with grandparents is a natural everyday occurrence, however for, Ivette Ivens, it’s a once-a-year family occasion.

Ivette’s parents live in her home country of Lithuania, where Ivette and her two boys visit every year from Chicago.

But no matter the distance the bond her kids share with their grandparents is unbreakable.

The genuine moments are raw and striking, almost bringing tears to your eyes.
