A Cuban woman living overseas deeply touched her friend back home in Cuba by organizing a heartfelt birthday surprise. The celebration included a giant stuffed animal in costume, flowers, a cake, and a video call filled with love and affection.

In a video shared on TikTok by the account @aleruja, the birthday girl, visibly moved, is seen receiving a bouquet of red roses and a cake adorned with the phrase "Friends Forever," delivered by a character in a pink dress. The woman was brought to tears upon hearing the message sent by her friend from afar, who expressed, "I love you. You are my dearest soul sister, and you know it. I hope you'll be here with us very soon. I love you, my dear."

The footage shows the birthday girl, emotionally overwhelmed, thanking her friend through tears while holding the gifts and speaking to her in the video call.
