73-year-old Charlie Matthews, a resident of Buena Vista, Georgia, showed up to see Democratic candidate for governor Stacey Abrams on Election Day at one of her campaign stops to a local restaurant.
While there, he presented her with a bouquet of roses on behalf of the women in his family who have died and could not witness the progress the candidate has made thus far.

“He said that he dedicated the flowers to Abrams on behalf of all the deceased women in his family that did not get to see her make it this far in the Gov. race,” Pointer tweeted on Tuesday.
Abrams, who was the former minority leader of the state’s House of Representatives, could be the first black woman ever elected as governor in the country’s history.
What a beautiful gesture!
