Mother breaks down in tears after sighting her daughter
The video showcased the raw emotions experienced by their mother, who had shouldered the burden of organising the funeral alone.
With the weight of grief evident, her surprise and joy at seeing her long-lost daughter after two years was palpable.
It was a bittersweet moment as Gladys expressed her desire for her mother to live a long and healthy life, hoping she would reap the fruits of her labour despite their father's absence.
In her words;
“It's been 4 years since my dad died, Throwback to 2019 when my sister surprised my mum in Nigeria for my dad's funeral in the village. It was a lot of emotions. The rest of us couldn't fly to Nigeria cause the expenses were too much.
"My mum had lost so much weight and with my dad's side of the family not being supportive of her, she had to handle the whole funeral herself.
"Mom was obviously shocked, sad and happy at the same time to see my sister she hasn't seen for 2 years. Praying she lives a long and healthy life to reap the fruits of her labour, since my dad couldn't live long enough to be a part of it.”
