(CNN) – When nursing student Carly Boyd got engaged over the weekend, she was overjoyed. She immediately told her friends and family, but couldn’t show off her sparkling ring to one special person: her grandfather.

He, like millions of other residents living in nursing homes and assisted-living facilities, has been stuck inside with no guests able to visit due to the coronavirus. But Boyd didn’t let that stop her.

So with the help of the staff at Premier Living and Rehab Center in Lake Waccamaw, North Carolina, Boyd showed up at his bedroom window, pointed to her ring and shared this sweet moment with her grandfather.

“It was very special,” Boyd told KOLD. “I just put my hand on the window, and he put his there too. I just told him I love him, and he said, ‘I love you, too, and I hope to see you soon,’ like really see you.”
