This is how the heartwarming reunion of a Cuban woman with her mother unfolded after years apart: "Recharging my little heart."

A Cuban woman reunites with her mother in Cuba after years apart, capturing the emotional moment on TikTok. The video reflects the struggle of Cuban families to reunite despite migration and hardships.


A Cuban woman had an emotional reunion with her mother after returning to the island after several years apart. The touching scene was captured in a video shared on TikTok by the user @lachyta5, where the exact moment they embrace can be seen, filled with tears and shouts of joy.

In the video, the woman arrives in Cuba and is seen driving a car to her mother's house. Upon arrival, she climbs the stairs and, without any warning, surprises her mother, who cannot contain her emotion at seeing her daughter after such a long time.

“My arrival in Cuba after many years without seeing my mom. Recharging my little heart”, wrote the Cuban alongside the images that have moved thousands of internet users.

The video has generated multiple reactions on social media, where users have expressed their empathy and happiness for the family reunion. For many Cubans in exile, returning to the island and embracing their loved ones after years of separation is a dream that not everyone can easily fulfill.

These types of reunions reflect the reality of many Cuban families separated by migration and the complex situation in the country, where family ties become a source of hope and resilience in the face of distance.
