Following in his father’s footsteps by joining the navy
@bibieyvaldepena revealed how she and her husband had told their son that they couldn’t make it to his graduation ceremony however their daughters would go to represent them instead.
“My daughter took a selfie with my son, but he didn’t know we were behind him, pranking him. That’s why he was shocked when he saw the picture, with us in the background.”
She continued to share how her husband was too in the navy back in 1993, and now he’s in maritime since 2006.
The touching video has certainly stirred emotions among netizens, leading them to flood the comment section with their reactions.
“You’re lucky your parents made the effort to visit you. In my time, I had to travel there and back alone. I didn’t even take any pictures. While other families were busy taking photos, I simply went back to my room to pack my belongings. I nearly broke down and cried.”
“I’ve replayed this so many times. It’s getting me all emotional now.”
“I’m eating noodle soup as we speak and watching this video while crying.”
