Wholesome grandma reaction makes user stop feeling weird about turning 30

I feel really weird about turning 30. Tonight, my grandma asked how old I was turning & I didn't want to say it... & she said 30? I said yes. She says, "You mean I've gotten to know you that long?" "Wow...... Isn't that nice?" It was so sincere. 😭 I no longer feel weird.

The author states her reaction was so sincere that he no longer feels strange about turning 30, with a crying emoji included at the end of the post to convey he was touched by the interaction.
