Man Cries When He Sees Mom For The First Time In 10 Years

Being away from loved ones can be pretty difficult, but we can’t imagine how this family was torn apart for an entire decade!

Sweet family reunions, like this happy soldier’s homecoming, can always hit all our heartstrings, but the following video from Shannon Slattery has all the feels. Shannon’s partner and father to their young son, Christian, is Jeffrey, a carpenter whose touching video has since gone viral… after 10 years in the making.

“Jeff’s brother Axel got a visa in place for their mom, Madeline, who lives in Libreville, Gabon. (About 23 hours of traveling by plane),” Shannon wrote on YouTube.

“Jeffrey had not seen his brother (who lives in South Florida) in about 4 years. Axel let me know the day before that he and his mother would be flying in for a surprise visit. I cleaned the house nice and kept the secret from Jeffrey. Jeffrey and his mom had gotten by with keeping in touch via video chat and frequent phone conversations but 10 years is a long time without seeing each other,” she explained.

“Money, distance, the visa, and just life being factors in the lengthy time apart. After we had our son, Christian (her first born grandchild) it was a must that she come and meet him.” In the sweet video, the 6’7 carpenter breaks down in tears after seeing his mom, who has been far away in Africa.”

“This video is the epitome of what an upstanding man he is. He’s kind, loving, God fearing, patient, hardworking,and a loving father and family man. I’m grateful to God that he’s mine and I’m his💞💞💞. Thank you all for all of your support and interest in our story. God bless, love one another.”

Shannon went on to explain that many people are assuming her partner is an immigrant, even though he’s not. “He was raised back and forth between Paris, France and Libreville, Gabon. His mom was a flight attendant.”
