87-Year-Old Grandfather, Granddaughter Graduate From UTSA Together

A University of Texas at San Antonio student shared the moment of a lifetime with her grandfather over the weekend. Melanie Salazar walked across the stage to receive her diploma — and then she pushed her 87-year-old grandfather's wheelchair across the stage so he could graduate, too.

Talk about family goals.

Salazar received her bachelor's degree in communications, while her grandfather, Rene Neira, earned his degree in recognition in economics.

"Something very special happened this weekend at UTSA Commencement," the university tweeted Monday with a photo of Salazar and Neira in a cap and gown, throwing up the Roadrunner hand sign.

This isn't the first time this duo goes viral, however. Or the second.

In August 2016, Salazar posted photos of her and her grandfather on the first day of school at Palo Alto College.

"I'm so proud of my grandpa for finishing his first day at PAC this semester! 82 years old and not giving up!!!" Salazar tweeted with photos of Neira in class along with a couple of selfies.

The tweet caught the attention of BuzzFeed — and captured America's hearts. Everyone was inspired by the duo attending college together.

In May 2017, Salazar and Neira earned their associate degrees together from Palo Alto College.

"At 83, despite obstacles, my grandpa never gave up and earned his A.A. with an Economics Concentration! I love you, Grandpa!!!" Salazar tweeted.

Neira is terminally ill and in hospice care, according to KENS 5.
