A deeply emotional video captures the heartbreaking moment a young boy joyfully reacts to his late father’s obituary banner, unaware of his passing.
Shared by TikTok user @mamachris917, the clip has gone viral, showing the boy’s innocent excitement as he points to the large funeral banner displayed in their compound.
In the video, he jumps with joy and beams with a wide smile, believing it’s a celebration for his father—completely unaware of the tragic truth.
The banner, inscribed with the words “Rest well CEO,” was a memorial for the late man—a reality that had clearly not been explained to the child.
Mistaking it for a birthday celebration, the little boy cheerfully exclaimed, “It’s my daddy. It’s his birthday. He travelled to America.”
The touching moment has stirred a wave of emotions online, with many viewers expressing heartbreak over the boy’s innocence and the profound weight of the situation.
