A heartwarming video has emerged from Mexico of a teenager serenading her dying grandfather.

The footage, captured on February 27 at a home in Monclava, shows the girl bursting into tears whilst singing to her grandfather who is lying on a bed. Then, they get together in an emotional hug.

''I knew my grandfather was ill but did not know the extent of the disease. He lived three hours away from me so I was not aware of the situation,'' the girl later wrote online.

''My aunt called me to tell me that he had stopped eating and he was bed-bound so I decided to visit him to say goodbye.''

''He was my number one fan and always told me that I could go further so I thought that singing for him on his last day would mean a lot to him,'' she added.

''While I was singing I felt broken inside because I felt that he was leaving me.''

''Now that he is gone I have reached peace. I knew he was going to die, but I could not leave him without singing the last song,'' she continued.
