A mother recently shared a touching video where she expressed her feelings to her young daughter about what it means to be her mom.
Receiving heartfelt affirmations from loved ones can significantly impact one’s life. Likewise, when parents convey their love and the importance of their children, it can lead to profound effects on their emotional well-being. This was evident in the emotional reaction of the child as her mother opened her heart. Danielle Eilers, a content creator known as @danielleeilers on TikTok, uploaded a clip where she shared her feelings about her daughter, prompting a heartfelt response from the little girl.
In the video, Eilers and her daughter are seated together in a café. Leaning closer, she told her daughter, “My life became so much brighter the day you were born, and I feel incredibly blessed that God gifted you to me five years ago. I still can’t believe you’re five.” Her daughter was visibly moved to tears by these sentiments. Eilers continued, “What I adore about you is your kindness. I’ve been saying this since you were a baby. When you were six months old, I wrote you a letter saying, ‘I can feel your love through the way you look at me.’”
As her mother continued to uplift her, the little girl wiped her tears. Eilers told her, “You’re going to change lives. You’ve changed mine through your love. I’m so fortunate to have you. I love you.” The daughter then embraced her mother, exclaiming, “I’m so lucky! I don’t know what I would do without you! I love you! You’re my best friend.” Eilers concluded with, “There’s so much I cherish about you, but your ability to love others is such a gift. You are my best friend.” She then asked her daughter if she wanted to dry her tears, to which the child nodded, and Eilers gently used a handkerchief to wipe her face.
The video attracted nearly 20 million views on TikTok, accompanied by a caption that read, “Eve turned five today, and I took her to the American Girl store for shopping and lunch. I shared what I love about her, and she started tearing up, making my heart explode, lol. You have to watch the whole thing!” The American Girl account responded, “We’re in tears at work right now. Happy birthday to Eve!! Check your DMs for a special birthday surprise.”
Other viewers shared their reactions, with one user, @daisymaisymora, commenting, “Crying! You communicate with your baby so beautifully! I wish every child could experience this!” Another, @chelsekay_sahm_, remarked, “The way she cries. My heart can’t take it. You’re an incredible mom!” @casscass997 added, “As someone with mommy issues, this made me tear up. I would love to hear my mom say this to me.” Finally, @mjaumaju776 noted, “I wonder where I would be in life if my parents had ever said even half of this. You are the best mother for your beautiful daughter.”
