A wholesome video showcasing the love and bond between an uncle and his niece touched many viewers, who expressed their feelings in the post shared online. 

The footage was shared on TikTok by user @divalish4, gaining massive views, likes, and comments from social media users who showered her with love and praise. 

The uncle's first restaurant visit

The video starts with the woman filming her uncle while sitting on the opposite side of the table in what looks like a cosy restaurant. He's a bit out of his comfort zone, looking a tad shy and maybe a bit overwhelmed by the new surroundings. Before their meals arrive, she gently clinks her wine glass with his beer bottle.

Caught off guard, he smiled, looking shy as he started warming up and getting comfortable with the surroundings. In the caption, she asked people to treat family members equally, even those whom others look down on.

Others were motivated to do the same for their uncle, thanking the lady for reminding them to show love
