Looking for a video to help get you through that middle-of-the-week hump? Look no further. A mom took her five-year-old out to the American Girl Store for some shopping and lunch to celebrate her fifth birthday, and while they were there, captured a beautiful mom and daughter moment—and now it’s gone viral for all the right reasons.
Mom Danielle Eilers shared the video to her TikTok of a moment she shared with her newly five-year-old daughter Eve. After having lunch together at the American Girl cafe, she was sharing with Eve all the things she loves about being her mom.
“My life got so much better when you were born, and I feel so lucky that God gave you to me — years ago—I literally can’t believe you’re five,” Eilers said in the sweet mom and daughter clip. “You know what I love about you? How kind you are. I’ve been saying it since you were a baby. I wrote you a letter when you were six months old, and I said, ‘I can feel the way you love me by how you look at me.’”
As little Eve covered her face, feeling bashful in the emotional moment, her mom continued, “You are going to change people’s lives. You’ve changed my life by how much you love me and how well you love me. I’m so lucky to have you. I love you.”
At this point in the video, both Eilers and Eve had tears in their eyes. Eilers added one more thing.
“There’s so much I love about you, but that is such a gift,” she told her daughter. “I feel like the gift God gave you is loving others.”
BRB, we need an entire box of tissues after that. And we’re not alone. In the comments, pretty much everyone who saw the video was touched by the tender moment this mother-daughter pair shared on such a special day.
“You have no idea how powerful that is for a daughter to hear,” one commenter said.
Another added, “Crying! You communicate with your baby so beautifully! I wish every child could experience this!!”
Even the American Girl account stopped by to leave a comment, writing, “We are SOBBING at work right now, happiest of birthdays to Eve!!”
Now that’s a birthday Eve will probably never forget.
