A touching video of a toddler’s ecstatic welcome for her father returning from work captivated social media users.
The touching clip, shared on Facebook by Yasembo Naledi Monde Mkhize, garnered a wave of emotional responses and admiration.
The video, taken in the evening, captures a priceless moment as a young father opens the home door to a joyful reception. His toddler immediately runs to him, screaming with excitement, and playfully taps him repeatedly, a clear sign that she wants to be picked up. She calls out 'ubaba' (daddy) many times, her voice filled with unbridled happiness.
The toddler welcomes dad home
The father, who is carrying a backpack on his back and a pizza box in his left hand, does not hesitate. With a single hand, he effortlessly lifts his excited daughter, embracing her warmth. He then asks how she is doing, and she animatedly responds that she is 'Good,' calling him by his name, Andile. She continues to brush against him, completely unconcerned about the pizza he is carrying, as he makes his way to sit down.
