As people grow older, they may encounter situations where their health declines to a childlike state, grappling with challenges like self-care and independence. This regression can stem from various factors, including physical or cognitive decline, illness, or disability, which may make them dependent on mobility aids like walkers and cane.

Recently, a TikTok video garnered attention for showcasing a heartwarming interaction between a 96-year-old great-grandfather and a baby using walkers alongside each other, showcasing the cyclical nature of life and the beauty in shared moments across generations.
