Jenny Díaz, a Cuban mother, has finally realized her dream of having her daughter with her in the United States, thanks to the humanitarian parole program, after being separated for a couple of years.

The emotional moment when the mother welcomed her daughter at a U.S. airport was shared on the protagonist's TikTok account, @jenny87.diaz3, through a video that is quickly gaining traction on the platform.

"God is faithful, my mom and my daughter here through humanitarian parole," the Cuban wrote in the post.

In the video, we see the young woman walking through the airport's arrival area, holding balloons, as she searches for her daughter who is still on the other side of the hallway. Once her newly arrived daughter crosses the door and they finally see each other, they embrace in a long hug, with tears of joy and emotion clearly showing the triumph of being together.
