If you’ve ever had to undergo surgery, you know just how nerve-wracking it can be. Things become easier if we have loved ones to be there to comfort us while we’re entering and exiting the surgery. However, there are plenty of times that people have to go through surgery all alone because of factors such as money, time, or distance.

 One mother knows this feeling all too well. As she was entering surgery to have a kidney transplant, she was having longing feelings for her son. However, her son lived an astounding 4,000 miles away from her and she was under the impression that he would not be able to accompany her to the scary surgery. Little did she know, she was about to get the surprise of a lifetime!

Her son is a video blogger on the website and social media platform YouTube, and he was able to come to surprise his mom on her big day. His name is Carl James Brook, and he’s been living in Germany for quite some time. However, he is apart from his family due to distance because they live in the United States. When he found out that his mom was having a kidney transplant in Georgia, it was only a few days before the actual surgery took place.

Even though time was short, he knew that he needed to find a way to be there for her and surprise her. Despite the plane tickets being so expensive on a short-notice and long distance flight, a family friend contacted a flight attendant friend who then arranged some discounted tickets for Carl.

In the clip, she tells him, “So I sat in bed and cried this morning because, I’m like, I didn’t get to see my boy.” 

As an added surprise, the trip happened so spontaneously that Carl even forgot to mention to the rest of his family that he was coming! Everyone in the room was shocked when he entered to wish his mother good luck during her surgery.

It’s hard to watch the moment without shedding a tear because you can tell how much this surprise means to everyone involved. Thankfully, Carl’s mother recovered from her surgery well and reportedly couldn’t wait to come back home to spend time with her beloved cats.

You have to see the adorable moment that his mother sees him in the hospital room! What do you think about this amazing surprise? Let us know in the comments and don't forget to pass this along to a loved one you've been missing lately!
