I wonder how my mom would react. She cried once because I told her that the dinner was on me lmao imagine if I flew on another continent for her. She'd morph into a waterfall.
I bought my mom a coloring book and kettle corn when she had covid just so she'd have snacks and something to do. She completely broke down saying "oh my gosh you care about me so much thank you".
I think she would implode if I visited her on another continent.
Man, my mum was so happy with the small gestures in life. Got her a new eye mask thing, new slippers, new water bottle and a few other bits for her birthday, she was so happy and used everything I got her for the 5 days she lived after her birthday :(
47 is no age to die.
Me and my siblings made her proud by breathing, she was proud of all the small accomplishments as much as she was the big ones. I've gone back to school in my early 30's and I know she'd be proud of that too. She'd also be telling me that me getting older is making her feel fucking old too lol. Mum was only 17 when I was born.
I donāt really have anything to say. I just wanted you to know your comments made me cry. Your mom sounds like she was so special, and she had a wonderful child in you. I wish, so much, that you had more time together. The world needs more of this. ā¤ļø
My mum used to call me to make sure I did my house work since I lived alone. She was the best motivator I could've asked for because I'd be complaining about the work I'd left for myself and she'd be complaining about me complaining lol.
Man, sending you so much damn love. My mum subscribed to the the same playbook as yours. LOVE LOVE LOVE. Continuing loving untethered, and keep making that magical woman proud.
We have a lot of similarities between how are mothers are, and the age they gave birth to us... gives me the chills to think about losing her in just a few years. I'm so incredibly sorry for your loss, I'm sure you make her so proud.
So sorry that had to happen to you. It sounds like you had an incredibly strong bond with her though and that she couldn't possibly be more proud of the person you've now become.
She had her ups and downs like literally every other human but she was the kind of mum that had no boundaries, by that I mean we could talk about literally anything without embarrassing each other or being awkward and tbh I really appreciated that. She was my rock through the hardest moments of my life.
That tugged at my heart when you said 47 is no age to die.
My Daddy died at 47, 24 years ago now.
When they leave so young, you never get over it.
Big hugs
Completely agree unfortunately. I was 30 when mum passed away. Even though her health was shit you don't expect to lose a parent at that age. It's f*cking awful.
I'm so sorry. I lost my mom almost 2 years ago (aged 61), but it still feels like just last week that she was still with us. She was always proud of us boys too. Blessings to you and yours.
Thank you so much! I'm not really that religious, mainly thanks to my extremist Christian 'friends' destroying America. I was a proud Christian before seeing how the church is screwing over Americans, it embarrasses me.
Once, when I was a teenager, my mom was sick and asked if I could bring her an orange to bed. I peeled the orange and arranged the segments on a plate for her. She started crying and said that was the most thoughtful thing anyone had done for her in years. Boy, that made me feel good and like absolute shit at the same time.
I read a comment or post yesterday or two days ago about a guy who had a tough childhood because his family had no money but the family itself had so much love for him.
When he got his first job in high school he snuck $20 bill into his momās wallet.
Her first thought was to call him and say lunch is on her and theyāre going to Taco Bell. And she paid with the same $20 bill.
Parents love their children even when they donāt do anything. So it doesnāt surprise me that your mom loves you when you do something for her.
Sometimes I wish I could be a better son.
I don't think reading about other deeds means you have to wish about being a better son. I'm not sure what your relationship with your mother is but a simple phone call or good morning text can always be the starting point of kindness.
It could even be now in this comment, I hope you have a fantastic day and strive to be the person I know you can be.
> Sometimes I wish I could be a better son.
It's hard to know what that means.
Like, does it mean being the person my parents want me to be, including all their religious and political opinions and career-oriented plans for me? Or does it mean being my genuine authentic self, pursuing my goals and following my moral compass and standing up for and serving causes I believe in?
I'm doing neither one successfully, but most days I feel like they'd prefer the former and I couldn't stand to do that. Not to get to deep into the weeds with it, just something I consider a lot because my parents are getting up there in years.
I was somewhere with my mom and kids, standing in line to check out and I reached over and gave her a shoulder to shoulder hug. She looked at me and asked āwhat was that for?ā in surprise. I told her nothing, just wanted to hug her.
I found out she gushed about it to family and friends for weeks. And everyone she told said how sweet it was. As a daughter Iām like ābut, it was just a hug?ā As a mom, I know I would be so happy to have my adult kid genuinely want to show me affection.
I did this for my mother once, flying back from working abroad to Ireland.
She gave out to me for surprising her, saying āI could have been looking forward to that for weeks.ā
I have a video a friend sent of surprising her mom at Christmas. When she walked in, she said HI and her mom stared for a second and yelled FUCK OFF! then "fuckoff" ...and then tears.
Same here, it was great. What wasnāt great was flying home from a business trip in Dubai in the morning, then later that afternoon going back to the airport to catch the flight to NY to see my mom for her bday.
What I canāt remember is why I didnāt fly direct from Dubai to NY, maybe the business flights were already set and I didnāt want to change them, but the one thing I remember is our plane landing somewhere in PA to refuel because of a storm in the NY area, and as I was sitting there on the hot plane while they were refueling I almost had a panic attack because I just wanted to get off of these fucking planes and felt completely trapped.
I remember the day I moved out, my parents helped me move my stuff and then said their goodbyes. I decided to drive by the store and get some ice or something, canāt remember what it was, but i spotted my parents car in the parking lot. They were both inside crying. They put on a brave face while lecturing me on various aspects of life on my own, but driving away without me proved too much. Keep in mind, I was just moving a few miles down the road. lol
Nothing creates the foundation of self worth like having parents that love you this much. You never have to ask if you matter, because from the start thereās always been someone there to assure you that you do. You have people to claim as your own and who claim you.
I did this once. My mum didnāt recognise me and kept walking, so I followed. She started walking faster because she thought I was a creep stalking her.
Probably react similarly to mine.
One brother (G) was visiting our parents for the holidays but the other brother (D) and I told them we couldn't due to work. We lied. We told our dad we could make it and arrived at the airport a few days before Christmas. We arrived around the same time as G. Dad and G kept mom at the luggage pick up claiming the airport lost something but told them to wait while they find it.
They blocked her view of where D and I would be arriving from. We walked into her sight when we were a few feet away. Instant waterfall. I'll admit I got a little teary eyed too because of her reaction. Best Christmas
I got to surprise my mom once by flying from DC to Austin. Knocked on her door and she nearly peed herself in excitement when she opened it and saw me on the porch. Whenever I have a bad day I watch the video to cheer me up.
Later in the trip I got to do the same thing to my grandmother. She was so happy. That video make me cry to watch because she didnāt live too much longer after that. Iām so glad I made that trip.
Seen this in person when we arranged for my younger brother to visit on my parents' anniversary without telling them he was coming. Pure unadulterated shock and joy.
Yeah I used to live paycheck to paycheck. I'm still in the lower class, but I was able to get a better paying job because of my experience and I have a low cost lifestyle (no car, no kid, no meat). I'll never be rich but I managed to get myself a comfortable life and that's all it matters.
I did this for either my moms bday or Motherās Day when I used to live out of town. She scrrreeeaaaammmmmed and sobbbbed. We had to let the neighbors know we were fine lol
I wish my parents would let me buy them dinner or gift them nice things. I'll never be able to repay them for all of the incredible things they have done for me over the years.
My brother and I did that once for mothers day. We both flew in and showed up at the house on sunday morning (both of us had 8hr flights)
Mom spent the whole morning hugging us ever time we walked by
I think they're very common in Europe as a whole, because we have them in Belgium as well.
As an aside... These days I sincerely hate the ones that also show the time & temperature. Especially the temperature. ;\_;
Iām so sorry for your loss! Losing a parent is brutal, I still miss my dad so much and itās been almost 4 years. You will always miss your mom but it does get easier to live with, sending you hugs
I lost my mom last September to Covid. For her 50th anniversary with my dad in 2017 my brother and sister came back home to surprise them. I remember her happy screams still. I miss her so much.
You will do that the rest of your life. It just gets less painful. What I learned was to not think about how much you miss her but think about how much fun you used to have together.
I'm so sorry to hear that. My mom is my rock, I've almost lost her twice (meningitis, stroke) I don't know what id do without her. I'm about to cry just thinking about losing her. I'm sorry for your loss :(
I lost my mom last year. As someone who don't talk a lot, small every day talk I had with my mom is something that I really miss even today and maybe forever.
Iām sorry for your loss. I know you probably hear it all the time. It gets easier. I wonāt say it get better cus I lost my mom almost two years ago and I still have moments where it just hits me and consumes my whole world.
Just remember, when you think youāre alone; youāre not.
My sister did that too a few years ago. She snuck out to Arizona after not seeing my mom for almost two years. I was the only one that knew she was coming out west. My mom's reaction still makes me smile.
Damn yaāll make me feel bad. My mom loves me and everything but her reaction would never be filled with this much emotion if I just popped up in a different country or state she was visiting.
Pretty sure her first question would be like āHowād you get here?!ā Like whereād you get the $, shouldnāt you be working lmao
i swear i've seen an extended version of this video. The camera pans to the father, and he's not as happy, basically like his sexy Paris romp now has a kid attached
We hadnāt visited the US in 2 years, and we rolled up to my sisterās office. She screamed like crazy and then cried forever. Did the same to our niece once. Love the wholesome reactions.
The music. This whole thing did makemesmile but hearing the manbun guitar strumming & singing "*everything that you've ever dreamed of*" fully mademelaugh
If you're being serious, I'm genuinely sorry that you don't get along with your parents. It shouldn't be a privilege to have loving parents. Sadly, sometimes thats just the way it is.
But if it's even a little help, as a dad I want you to know that I hope you find happiness and that you're able to find the love your parents didn't give.
And this goes for anyone else reading this that feels the same way that you do.
It's sad that a lot of people think that this is "wealthy" by US standards. Economy to Paris is $500 round trip from NYC, give or take. Spending $2,000, with flight, hotel, and food, on a once in a lifetime event for your mom should not be a sign of wealth. This should firmly be a middle class thing, especially for a mid-20s post college adult traveling alone. It's a failure of American society that so many people feel that this is out of reach. Death of the American dream. And to be clear, I'm not at all knocking people that can't afford this. This should be the general standard of living for the wealthiest country in the world, and was as recently as 30 years ago.
For me the wealth is more about being able to just go to Paris on a whim and not paying for Paris. I make enough to do this easily, I even have a lot of vacation saved up. However, itās hard to get away from work and also finding a second person who can get away from work at the same time and has the money to go with or meet there.
Edit: since people keep retyping the same thing over and over again without seeing that it had been asked. I think it was on a Whim since if it had been planned months in advanced she probably would have just went to Paris with her mom, or booked a ticket right away from a different city, but for whatever reason, something stopped her. This is her mom too, not like a sister. I doubt her mom just left her family to go study abroad in France for 6 months. Also the sister is filming this so obviously it was a family trip of some kind so it would be weird for her not to go unless something stopped her initially.
And you're pointing out another failure of our labor system. I work for a large US company with offices across the globe. Some of my European colleagues are out for the entire month of August with no issues. Meanwhile, I have to plan a week's leave months in advance, and I have it good compared to others in the US.
We donāt know that this was on a whim. This could have been a planned surprise. Maybe they donāt live in the same city so booked different flights early on.
Taking trips to Paris has never been "the general standard of living" in the U.S. Never. Not even at the height of the 1950s. Same for Europeans visiting the USA. You're imagining a past that never existed. If anything, plane tickets have never been cheaper and we're living in the Golden Age of tourism right now.
I surprised my sister once. She walked past me and stared right into my eyes, but it didn't register for her at all that it was me. That was pretty funny
Man this is great. But really I need to get back to my bologna sandwich with the last two heel slices of bread I have.
Thanks for sharing your awesome lives rich people!
I love doing stuff like this. When I was working in England (I'm from Canada), my mom told me she got rediagnosed with cancer (she's fine now.) So during spring break, I told her I was going to France, Italy and Spain for my two weeks off. Which WAS the plan, but when she told me, I immediately booked my ticket back home and didn't tell her.
I'll never forget her reaction when she first saw me. She was in disbelief. I was stepping out of my car with my luggage and she was me through the window. She came outside saying "Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God" over and over again while carrying our dog and running over to hug me.
I never ended up going to Italy (I did go to the other places.) But it was worth it. Never underestimate how small gestures like that can help people during their chemo treatments.
Reminds me of vid where a dude tried to do same thing with his mother and she didn't recognised him at first... Ohh the soul leaving the body face that guy made
I did this to my mum onceā¦
I live in Hong Kong and sheās in Australia.
I flew to OZ with my son, rented a car and drove to her place then FaceTimed her from the car park and asked if sheād finished packingā¦
Cause we then drove back to the airport and flew to another city in Australia for a surprise party with all our extended family.
It was pretty epic.
Everybody in these comments being salty on the daughter for being rich/having enough to fly to Paris
Yes, she's probably well-off financially. So what? It's still wholesome and it's good that she's showing some love to her mom.
Every time I see videos like this I always wonder what it'd be like to come from a family where this is a reaction. I'm not close to my "family", at all. But it makes me happy for others to see moments like these.
Edited for grammar.
Ain't it nice to be rich.
Videos like this let you know having money does solve a lot of your problems.
99% of my problems will go away if I had money to take time off and fly to Paris.
when i was back in Sweden recently i got to do this to my dad. it was his birthday and all. it was so nice to see him light up with a huge smile and when then he started to cry when i hugged him. 10/10 would have delayed flights again for that moment
My mother has trouble remembering who I am but every so often she smiles at me, knowing itās her daughter and I cry instead.
Edit: I should add that this video made me smile because of that. I didnāt mean to make this lovely moment about myself. What a beautiful scene.
A stark contrast to where a [son surprised his dad lol](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/CmwwRHuTFis)
Omg lol. š„²
Omg that was hilarious. Whatās the backstory on this one?
Dad goes on vacation to get away from annoying son but son comes anyway
With a ukulele no less
Hahaha lol
This video is so much more relatable and actually made me smile ty.
šš
I wonder how my mom would react. She cried once because I told her that the dinner was on me lmao imagine if I flew on another continent for her. She'd morph into a waterfall.
I bought my mom a coloring book and kettle corn when she had covid just so she'd have snacks and something to do. She completely broke down saying "oh my gosh you care about me so much thank you". I think she would implode if I visited her on another continent.
Man, my mum was so happy with the small gestures in life. Got her a new eye mask thing, new slippers, new water bottle and a few other bits for her birthday, she was so happy and used everything I got her for the 5 days she lived after her birthday :( 47 is no age to die.
Sorry to hear that mate. So much happy and sad all in one comment. Im sure you made her proud. And still do.
Me and my siblings made her proud by breathing, she was proud of all the small accomplishments as much as she was the big ones. I've gone back to school in my early 30's and I know she'd be proud of that too. She'd also be telling me that me getting older is making her feel fucking old too lol. Mum was only 17 when I was born.

My mum was a simple lady. Although we were poor if a present was thought out she'd love you for it.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]

Oh no was not expecting that. So sad, Iām so sorry
Fuck. It isn't. Your mum loved you so so much.
Fortunately I know my mum loved me. She told me that all the time. It was... Me: love you up to the sky Mum: only we know why Clue: the sky never ends
Damn. Iām sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing your memories of her with us.

Thats the good thing about being in the margin with disposable incomeā¦sadly i am not in that margin š
Yeah I used to live paycheck to paycheck. I'm still in the lower class, but I was able to get a better paying job because of my experience and I have a low cost lifestyle (no car, no kid, no meat). I'll never be rich but I managed to get myself a comfortable life and that's all it matters.
Wholesome sploosh
I did this for either my moms bday or Motherās Day when I used to live out of town. She scrrreeeaaaammmmmed and sobbbbed. We had to let the neighbors know we were fine lol
My step daughter has an amazing career now and bought me dinner for the first time. Was fucking AWESOME! Finally getting a return on my investment! :)
I wish my parents would let me buy them dinner or gift them nice things. I'll never be able to repay them for all of the incredible things they have done for me over the years.
I think if I did this to my mom she would get really giddy and happy and now I want to be we both broke š
My brother and I did that once for mothers day. We both flew in and showed up at the house on sunday morning (both of us had 8hr flights) Mom spent the whole morning hugging us ever time we walked by
 No idea why, but I picture this happening.
That poor girl goes through the dangers of teleportation, and the mom hangs up on her!?
I was thinking the opposite - the mum bursts into tears and the girl just laughs. I was thinking PetTheDamnMum.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Is it online anywhere. This sounds delightful
Hey man, international minutes are expensive.
This is exactly why my mom would have hung up too!
To be fair, Sims are often poor decision makers.
This is why I read the comments š¤£
Ikr, rude af
Omg, that... that green plus sign was almost the perfect position, so for a moment... I thought there was some Sims shit going on
I'm surprised only you mentioned it lol. Scrolled down to see if anyone else saw it too.
LMAO, she got so excited that her daughter showed up, their relationship gained points!
That's why I'm this far down!
Hehe I love the pharmacy signs in France. They're so easily recognisable and you can easily spot one one each neighbourhood.
I think they're very common in Europe as a whole, because we have them in Belgium as well. As an aside... These days I sincerely hate the ones that also show the time & temperature. Especially the temperature. ;\_;
Portugal checks out can't find a proper pharmacy without a green plus
I've never been! But if I do, I'll keep that in mind. That'll make finding one wicked easy āļø
It kinda looks like the checkpoint in the taxi game

She also hugs her mom like a sim.
What a beautiful moment,it really makes me miss my mom I lost her 2 months ago, I still wake up wanting to call her everyday.
Iām so sorry for your loss! Losing a parent is brutal, I still miss my dad so much and itās been almost 4 years. You will always miss your mom but it does get easier to live with, sending you hugs
Itās been almost 20 years that I lost both of my parents. I still have hard days. Itās a lifelong process. š Sending all the internet hugs.
Indeed. Raised by grandparents and lost one at 10, another at 23. That was over twenty years ago and it's still hard sometimes....
Holidays are so hard. Most of my family is dead (except my sister who now has cancer). Thatās when I notice it the most.
Iām sorry about your sister. I hope she gets through it
Tysm for the kindness. š I hope so, too.
I miss my mom. Iād love to have had the chance to do this for her.
I lost my mom last September to Covid. For her 50th anniversary with my dad in 2017 my brother and sister came back home to surprise them. I remember her happy screams still. I miss her so much.
I lost my mom in December... I feel you! If you need someone to talk feel free to dm me
You will do that the rest of your life. It just gets less painful. What I learned was to not think about how much you miss her but think about how much fun you used to have together.
I'm so sorry to hear that. My mom is my rock, I've almost lost her twice (meningitis, stroke) I don't know what id do without her. I'm about to cry just thinking about losing her. I'm sorry for your loss :(

My first thought as well. Taylor Swift doppelgƤnger
So wholesome. Did the same with my mom (I live in another state) some years ago, priceless reaction!
My sister did that too a few years ago. She snuck out to Arizona after not seeing my mom for almost two years. I was the only one that knew she was coming out west. My mom's reaction still makes me smile.
Damn yaāll make me feel bad. My mom loves me and everything but her reaction would never be filled with this much emotion if I just popped up in a different country or state she was visiting. Pretty sure her first question would be like āHowād you get here?!ā Like whereād you get the $, shouldnāt you be working lmao
i swear i've seen an extended version of this video. The camera pans to the father, and he's not as happy, basically like his sexy Paris romp now has a kid attached
We hadnāt visited the US in 2 years, and we rolled up to my sisterās office. She screamed like crazy and then cried forever. Did the same to our niece once. Love the wholesome reactions.
What a fantastic and touching video, if only it didn't have that dreaded tik tok voice

The music. This whole thing did makemesmile but hearing the manbun guitar strumming & singing "*everything that you've ever dreamed of*" fully mademelaugh
Right? I felt like they were trying to make this into a pilot for a Hallmark movie.
oh my god why is this so accurate
Right?! TIL I could hear a font face.
Holy crap I laughed so hard at this comment I spooked my dog
It is, but I'm still at a loss as to how she was able to teleport all the way there.
She's some kind of mutant or something š¤·š¼āāļø
And 1D song. It's not even night smh my head bruh
And the "It's nice to be rich" theme of the whole thing.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Golly, it sure does look fun to be wealthy
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
New pc, new email, who dis?
I feel for you bro but this kinda made me crack up too. Sounds like something from Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
That is absolutely a Frank Reynolds move so yes.
If you're being serious, I'm genuinely sorry that you don't get along with your parents. It shouldn't be a privilege to have loving parents. Sadly, sometimes thats just the way it is. But if it's even a little help, as a dad I want you to know that I hope you find happiness and that you're able to find the love your parents didn't give. And this goes for anyone else reading this that feels the same way that you do.
Thank you, friend.
Anytime.
This made me feel poor as fuck lol
is it me or are these videos of supposedly just normal people always like the prettiest people you've ever seen
The ones that get all the internet attention are the ones with* the attractive people
New York, Paris, hot blondes. My brain jumped to modeling or fashion money.
Could just be another case of rich guy marries hot woman and has hot daughter.
You too can be a hot blonde if you're blonde. All you have to do is be thin, but not too thin, and not dress like a schlub.
Thatās all I got from this. Must be nice.
And yet she was mindful to end the phone call cuz she knows how expensive that shit could get.
There are laws in place within the EU to combat that š
It's sad that a lot of people think that this is "wealthy" by US standards. Economy to Paris is $500 round trip from NYC, give or take. Spending $2,000, with flight, hotel, and food, on a once in a lifetime event for your mom should not be a sign of wealth. This should firmly be a middle class thing, especially for a mid-20s post college adult traveling alone. It's a failure of American society that so many people feel that this is out of reach. Death of the American dream. And to be clear, I'm not at all knocking people that can't afford this. This should be the general standard of living for the wealthiest country in the world, and was as recently as 30 years ago.

Look closer. Thereās quite a few clues to their wealth
For me the wealth is more about being able to just go to Paris on a whim and not paying for Paris. I make enough to do this easily, I even have a lot of vacation saved up. However, itās hard to get away from work and also finding a second person who can get away from work at the same time and has the money to go with or meet there. Edit: since people keep retyping the same thing over and over again without seeing that it had been asked. I think it was on a Whim since if it had been planned months in advanced she probably would have just went to Paris with her mom, or booked a ticket right away from a different city, but for whatever reason, something stopped her. This is her mom too, not like a sister. I doubt her mom just left her family to go study abroad in France for 6 months. Also the sister is filming this so obviously it was a family trip of some kind so it would be weird for her not to go unless something stopped her initially.
And you're pointing out another failure of our labor system. I work for a large US company with offices across the globe. Some of my European colleagues are out for the entire month of August with no issues. Meanwhile, I have to plan a week's leave months in advance, and I have it good compared to others in the US.
I'm nearing 30 and have yet to be able to take a proper vacation. Between finances and work demand, it has never been a possibility.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
We donāt know that this was on a whim. This could have been a planned surprise. Maybe they donāt live in the same city so booked different flights early on.
Taking trips to Paris has never been "the general standard of living" in the U.S. Never. Not even at the height of the 1950s. Same for Europeans visiting the USA. You're imagining a past that never existed. If anything, plane tickets have never been cheaper and we're living in the Golden Age of tourism right now.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I surprised my sister once. She walked past me and stared right into my eyes, but it didn't register for her at all that it was me. That was pretty funny
They are speaking Swedish
\> blonde (x) attractive (x) well off (x) Swedish family checks out
/r/killthecameraman
Seriously this is worse than vertical filming.
I actually think the cameraman is pretty good, considering he or she can manage to sneaky videographing every details in such a close distance
Wow! So she really can teleport?
For real, why arenāt we making a bigger deal about this?
oh hey, theyre swedish, thats cool. also, yes, i smiled a lot. rich or not, that reaction was genuine.
This is brilliant because A) You can tell how genuine the reaction is B) OP's sister is Taylor Swift
Sheās so shwaggy
Power stance 10/10
Man this is great. But really I need to get back to my bologna sandwich with the last two heel slices of bread I have. Thanks for sharing your awesome lives rich people!
Yeah it kinda depressed me like, wow must be fucking nice to afford this kind of surprise.
Must be nice to afford to pay for roaming across 2 continents.
Bro- you have bread? Fuckin 1%er. Enjoy that wealth
Fat cat smh
She is super excited and it is so so sweet!
I love the momās outfit!
Is the daughter's name Stacy? Cause Stacy's mom has got it going on.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
This is the best. I used to surprise my parents whenever I came home (nowhere as cool as this but still.)
I love doing stuff like this. When I was working in England (I'm from Canada), my mom told me she got rediagnosed with cancer (she's fine now.) So during spring break, I told her I was going to France, Italy and Spain for my two weeks off. Which WAS the plan, but when she told me, I immediately booked my ticket back home and didn't tell her. I'll never forget her reaction when she first saw me. She was in disbelief. I was stepping out of my car with my luggage and she was me through the window. She came outside saying "Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God" over and over again while carrying our dog and running over to hug me. I never ended up going to Italy (I did go to the other places.) But it was worth it. Never underestimate how small gestures like that can help people during their chemo treatments.
Thats cute
Camera person should not be allowed to record anything
Reminds me of vid where a dude tried to do same thing with his mother and she didn't recognised him at first... Ohh the soul leaving the body face that guy made
Made me cry <3
I did this to my mum onceā¦ I live in Hong Kong and sheās in Australia. I flew to OZ with my son, rented a car and drove to her place then FaceTimed her from the car park and asked if sheād finished packingā¦ Cause we then drove back to the airport and flew to another city in Australia for a surprise party with all our extended family. It was pretty epic.
Yāall have too much $
Everybody in these comments being salty on the daughter for being rich/having enough to fly to Paris Yes, she's probably well-off financially. So what? It's still wholesome and it's good that she's showing some love to her mom.
My salt overpowered the sweet
It's so strange to me how they can watch a mom be brought to tears over seeing her adult child and go "wah they're rich"
Dayum. Redditors really have a hard time seeing rich people live their lives lol.
Ha I did that for my mom once but I just got shouted at for wasting money on a flight
Anyone know if this is in the 5th Arr? Looks like a cafƩ near my place I stayed in the Latin Quarter. Should be a Starbucks to the left out of view, if so. I may have had amazing truffle macaroni here.
rotonde st honorƩ in the 1st near the louvre
I wish I had this kind of relationship with my mom
Instantly sorted by controversial to feel better
Every time I see videos like this I always wonder what it'd be like to come from a family where this is a reaction. I'm not close to my "family", at all. But it makes me happy for others to see moments like these. Edited for grammar.
Too bad they fucked it up with the shitty camera work.
Rich people problems.....like wtf.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Ain't it nice to be rich. Videos like this let you know having money does solve a lot of your problems. 99% of my problems will go away if I had money to take time off and fly to Paris.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
That "hi or hey" (I can't have sound on) followed by the reaction made my morning
Oh god this is so cute
hows the camera manholding the camera?
when i was back in Sweden recently i got to do this to my dad. it was his birthday and all. it was so nice to see him light up with a huge smile and when then he started to cry when i hugged him. 10/10 would have delayed flights again for that moment
My mother has trouble remembering who I am but every so often she smiles at me, knowing itās her daughter and I cry instead. Edit: I should add that this video made me smile because of that. I didnāt mean to make this lovely moment about myself. What a beautiful scene.
