A young Cuban woman, Ali (@alidary8), has captured the hearts of many on TikTok with a touching video of her surprise trip to Cuba with her baby. The purpose of this visit was incredibly special: for the great-grandparents to meet their great-grandchild for the first time.
The heartwarming moment, filled with hugs and tears, has sparked reactions and comments of celebration and joy for her: "May God grant everyone waiting for this moment the chance to be filled with kisses and tears with their loved ones"; "Oh my dear, if I'm crying, how must you be feeling, my love!"; "Oh, how emotional, a kiss to the whole beautiful family"; "So wonderful, my dear, I hope my aunt gets to see my little one"; "Blessings to that family"; "My day will come soon, blessings"; "Nothing like those hugs, is the one in the white blouse Rosa?"; "How exciting"; "How lovely," some reacted.
The video also reminded many of the special value of being close to family, especially when it comes to older generations like great-grandparents. For those who have had to emigrate, these types of reunions are a dream that, as in Ali's case, when they come true, are joyfully shared with everyone on social media.
Following this post, she shared another about her five-day stay, as she clarified in the comments, on the island.
