“It’s a very tough, beautiful moment. There are so many feelings. I got so nervous that I twisted my ankle twice before reaching them, but finally, I was able to fulfill my dream of returning to them and being happy again. It had been three years since I had forgotten what it feels like to be happy again”, wrote the mother in the post.

In the midst of distance, immigration procedures, and sacrifices, stories like that of this mother and her daughter bring a glimmer of hope. Reunions like this are a testament to the love that endures through time and absence.
