Screams of a girl reuniting with her mother in Cuba move TikTok users to tears

An emotional video on TikTok showcases the touching reunion of a Cuban girl with her mother after being separated due to migration. The scene reflects the pain and sacrifice of many families in Cuba.


An emotional video shared on TikTok has touched the hearts of thousands of users by capturing the moment a Cuban girl reunites with her mother after a period of separation.

In the images shared by the user @rojamailyn, we can see the mother exiting the airport, while her daughter, who anxiously awaited her outside, bursts into a sea of emotions upon seeing her.

The little girl screams with all her might, jumps for joy, breaks into tears, and finally runs towards her mother to embrace her tightly. “Together again,” the mother wrote in the video description.

Reactions on TikTok came in quickly, with thousands of users expressing their excitement upon seeing the moving scene. "That girl didn't know how to express her emotions anymore; she screamed, cried, jumped, and laughed out loud. My God, grant all of us the blessing of embracing our loved ones," commented one user.

Another message reflected the sadness that many Cuban families experience due to forced separation caused by migration: “Who is going to compensate so many mothers for so much pain? Only those of us who left our children know the reason and the suffering that comes with it.”

The video, which has garnered thousands of views and reactions, serves as a reminder of the sacrifices many Cuban families face due to migration. For many, reuniting with their loved ones remains a longing marked by distance and the challenges imposed by the country's reality.

These types of reunions, increasingly common on social media, are a reflection of the profound migration crisis that has led thousands of Cubans to separate from their families in search of a better future.
