Lady searches for dad on Google Maps
As she navigated through the virtual streets, she pointed out familiar landmarks, including her family's house, neighbouring homes, and even an old car that used to transport her to school.
Her emotional journey took a bittersweet turn when she spotted an obituary banner bearing her late father's name on the wall of their family home.
Although she had hoped to see her father's image, the discovery of the banner reminded of her painful loss.
The lady identified as @gift.bigbaby on TikTok, narrated:
"Checking Google to see if I will see my dad. I saw a video of a lady checking her family house years ago and I decided to try to see if I will also see our house on Google. It took me up to one hour to see our house. This house wey I show so na madam Rose house.
"The opposite house na papa Osato house. This spoilt motor na the one wey them dey carry us go school those days. See our house. I thought I will see my father outside but unfortunately, no be my papa I see. This one na my step brother and his children. See my late father's obituary banner on the wall."
