An emotional video shared on TikTok has touched thousands of users by showcasing the moment when a Cuban living abroad surprises her father on the island with an unexpected gift: a new electric motorcycle.
In the images shared by user @yailicruzcastillo, the man is seen entering a room where a large box awaits him. Upon discovering that it contains a motorcycle, the father cannot contain his emotions and brings his hands to his face, clearly moved by his daughter's gesture.
"A little gift for my daddy in Cuba, he didn't see it coming," the young woman wrote in the video, which quickly garnered thousands of views and affectionate comments. Many users highlighted the sweetness of the moment and the gratitude reflected in the father's tears upon receiving the gift.
In a second part of the video, the man appears mounted on his new electric motorcycle, smiling and posing proudly in front of his house. “That's the best reward for so much sacrifice,” commented one user, while others applauded the generosity of the daughter and the effort involved in sending gifts from abroad to family in Cuba.
Stories like this are repeated daily among Cuban families separated by migration, where children abroad seek to alleviate, even if just a little, the hardships faced by their loved ones on the island.
The video symbolizes the unconditional love between parents and children, and it also reflects the harsh reality of many Cuban families who rely on the support of their relatives abroad to improve their living conditions in the face of the current economic crisis.
In the comments, many users confessed to having cried upon seeing the father's reaction. "There is no greater gift than knowing that your children do not forget you," wrote a follower.
