Get the hankies ready. You're going to need them because this is such a heartwarming video.

Let me set the up. The Independent Journal Review had this story about Jeffrey, who lives in Massachusetts, hasn't seen his mother in over 10 years. She lives in the African nation of Gabon and the cost of the trip, her visa and other factors have kept her from leaving home to visit him.

But last week, Jeffrey's younger brother Axel, who lives in Florida, called Jeffrey's girlfriend Shannon to let her know that he secured a visa for her and they were coming to surprise Jeffrey. Jeffrey and Shannon recently had a son and his mother wanted to meet her first grandchild.

Shannon didn't say a word about it and let the surprise play out while capturing the emotional reunion in a video which has since gone viral.

 

 

How are you doing. Should I pass the tissue now?
