An heartbreaking video that has gone viral depicts a father crying upon seeing his son after the latter left overseas fifteen years ago.
The Nigerian man living overseas disclosed that he hadn’t seen his father in fifteen years and made the decision to return home on New Year’s Day to surprise them.
But when his flight was canceled, he made the decision to reschedule his visit.
In a video, he can be seen hiding behind a door when his parents entered. When his father saw him, he was initially shocked before becoming tearful.
He gave him a hug and started crying happy tears.
The Nigerian man living overseas posted the video on his TikTok website and commentedâŚ
“Fifteen years have passed.” I have seen my father, I have seen my mother for eleven years, and I have been away from my native Nigeria for eight years. I made the decision to return home after eight years. I initially told them I was going home for New Year’s, but six months later the airline contacted me to ask for a refund because one of the airlines had to cancel their flight due to some problems and they couldn’t find another one. I told my family I could no longer go home because my flight had been canceled, and when I tried to book another one, the price had nearly tripled from what I had paid for the first one six months ago, when I tried to get another one on December 5th, guess what happened? Since my dad doesn’t live in Nigeria and we haven’t seen one other in a while, he booked his own travel home when I told him I was returning home. Thank God I was able to make contact with my family.
