My uncle is doing so well," to which the creator replied, "Oh cousin, I felt the same way as when I arrived," expressing how deeply she was moved by the return.
But amidst the excitement, there were those who couldn't help but express their curiosity about the car featured in the video. "Do they have that Mercedes here?" asked one user, and @mariuby23 humorously clarified that it was a 2024 Lincoln, leading to some lighter comments.
