After 25 years in America, an aged couple has returned to their home country, Nigeria.
Months ago, their thoughtful family members threw them a surprise send-off party in America in anticipation of their return home.
Nneoma, one of their granddaughters, shared a video of the aged couple with the family on TikTok as she narrated how their return home went.
"No one prepares you for the feeling of growing up and seeing the people you love grow older too. I’m going to miss them," she captioned the touching video.

According to Nneoma, her grandparents are more than life partners. She said they are each other's best friends and have been together for 62 years.
She took delight in the fact that they are still alive and watched her grow into a fine young woman.
She said they shuttled from Nigeria to the US for years, catering for her and her siblings while her parents went to work.
Family members were emotional as each one said their goodbyes to the couple at the airport.
