Aaron Paul has shared a heartbreaking photo of what he thought may be the last time he would see his beloved grandmother.

The Breaking Bad star had been called to the 94-year-old’s bedside after she suffered a broken back and asked to say goodbye to each of her grandchildren.

Preparing himself for the worst, Aaron went to visit her – but told fans his gran had managed to fight back and was at home feeling much better.

He shared the touching moment on Instagram and captioned it: “It’s amazing what your heart does when it is jolted. When news floods in and panic takes over. Emotions run wild.

“The beautiful woman I am looking at is my grandmother (my mom’s mom) and she is turning 94 today. She is easily the strongest woman I have ever met. Example, she got kicked by a bull once and broke her hip (which she had to replace) and never complained about any sort of pain.

“The other day she was walking to let her dog out and next thing she knew she was on the ground. Her back splintered in 6 places. Right before this photo was taken she had her daughter Darla (my mom) call each of her grandchildren so she could say goodbye. She said that it was time for her to sleep and go see grandpa. She would always tell us ‘I love you all the same. No favourites’.

“After she said goodbye to me I packed a bag and went straight to the airport. She is now recovering back at home telling jokes and resting a lot. She is a fighter. A beautiful fighter.

“Thank you grandma for everything. Anyone who is reading this and are lucky enough to have grandparents in their life … call them. Let them know how much you love them. Also, please send warm thoughts out towards my beautiful grandmother. She’s the best. Love to you all.”

Call your grandma, people.
