A young Cuban man has touched hearts on TikTok with a video capturing the emotional reunion with his brother in Miami after 10 years of separation.
Anthony Fernández, known on TikTok as @anthonyfernandez2012, shared the touching moment which took place at Amelia Park in Miami, where they had arranged to meet.
"Today is a day full of emotions," says Anthony in the moments leading up to the long-awaited embrace. Though he mentioned in the video that they had been apart for six years, he later clarified in the comments that it had actually been a decade. The prolonged separation was due to Anthony being in Cuba while his brother, a doctor, "had many responsibilities."
"I'm super excited," Anthony is heard saying in the video that has resonated with thousands of users on the platform.
Comments flooded in, reflecting the emotional impact of the reunion: "I cried with that welcome"; "I haven't seen my father, daughter, brother for five years and I long to see them. It's very hard being far away and not being able to give them a kiss or hug whenever you want"; "How emotional. I'm longing with all my heart for that hug from my sister"; "Omg, what a beautiful video. There's nothing more wonderful than family love"; "Ufff, it brought tears to my eyes. It's great how he reacted despite the years. I have a brother here who hasn't wanted to know about family for 12 years. Many blessings to you"; "What a beautiful video. Hug him tight, that has no price. I lost my brother and would give anything to hug him again."
This isn’t the first time Anthony has moved the online community with a family reunion. Late last June, he shared a video of the moment he surprised his son on the island.
