COVID-19 has changed everyone’s life. Since March 2020, we can’t watch a movie in a cinema, we can’t go overseas for a vacation, we hardly network over a coffee and pastry in a coffee shop. Almost every state has ordered residents not to leave their homes unless it is to go to work or to buy essential items.
In addition, schools from kindergartens to universities have closed and education has moved online; weddings, graduations, or even funerals have been postponed, canceled, or have become Zoom or FaceTime events.
Family members who work abroad are not able to go home because the border was closed due to the pandemic. Lately, a TikTok video went viral, where this sister-in-law shared a video of the brother-in-law returning home after 1 year stuck in Singapore due to the pandemic.
The post came with a video and a caption, she wrote,” They are so surprised seeing their father is finally returning home. They didn’t meet each other for a year due to Covid-19, 10 times I’m watching this video, 10 times I cried.”
The video was viewed 74.3k times on TikTok. Most netizens touched by the tear-jerking video, some resonating with the video as they also have the same experience not meeting their loved one for a long time due to the pandemic.
Let’s check out some of the comments:
▼” sad seeing this video”
▼” Pray for me, next month will be exactly a year that I didn’t meet up with my husband.”
▼” Like us, my baby number 3 is already 7-month-old, only talk to the father in a video call. Pray for us too.”
▼” Pray for us too, It’s been a year my husband didn’t return home, he worked in Singapore too.”
