Knowing that his parents were flying on the flight 3K558 from Ho Chi Minh to Singapore, he switched flights with the pilot in order to surprise his parents.

While his dad waved back, his mum missed this moment as she was in the washroom.

However, even from inside the toilet, she immediately recognised her son’s voice.

Damn, who’s cutting all these onions in here? *sniff sniff*

Is there truly anything more touching and heartwarming than a caring and supportive parent with a loyal and filial son?

His mother asked him to reach for the skies, and he truly did, both literally and figuratively.

I’m sure every parent would be in the same situation.

What? No, I’m not crying. It’s just allergies. Shut up, I’m not.

As some comments on Facebook have pointed out, it was pretty cool of Jetstar to allow him to organise this surprise and make this video.

Marketing strategy or not, who cares?

Didn’t we all need to see this video to brighten ourselves up?
