A deeply emotional video shows the heartbreaking moment a little boy excitedly reacted to his late father’s obituary banner, unaware that his dad had passed away.
The clip, shared by user @mamachris917, has gone viral on TikTok, capturing the boy’s innocent joy as he points to the large funeral banner placed in their compound.
In the video, the boy is seen jumping with excitement, smiling brightly as he celebrates what he believes is his father’s special day, unaware of the tragic reality.
The banner, which bears the words “Rest well CEO,” was a memorial for the deceased man, whose loss had clearly not been explained to the child.
Mistaking it for a birthday announcement, the young child happily exclaimed, “It’s my daddy. It’s his birthday. He travelled to America.”
The touching moment has sparked an outpouring of emotions online, with viewers expressing sorrow over the boy’s innocence and the heavy weight of the moment.
