The image of a 101-year-old great-grandmother cradling her 2-week-old great-granddaughter has taken social media by storm.

Sarah Hamm took the image of her grandmother, Rosa Camfield, holding her daughter, Kaylee Rowland.

Life of Dad posted the image on its Facebook page and was overwhelmed by the positive response, according to the Huffington Post.

The post generated over 2.5 million likes 25,000 comments and over 80,000 shares. Even better, people posted their own multigenerational family photos.

Patrick Quinn, founder of Life of Dad, said one person posted a photo that claimed a 112-year age gap.

Less than a month after the photo was taken, Camfield died. She is survived by three children, five grandchildren, 10 great-grandchildren and one amazing photo that has touched hearts around the world.

101 year difference.
