A TikTok video has captured the hearts of thousands, showcasing the touching moment when a young woman in Miami is surprised with a heartfelt gift sent by her boyfriend from Cuba. Still residing on the island, the boyfriend employed a special delivery service to send his partner a bouquet of flowers, a pink stuffed animal, and a letter, all delivered by a person in a giant teddy bear costume. The scene, shared by the account @laminadeoro_, has already surpassed a million views.
Unaware of the plan, she was sitting in her car on a street when she was informed of a surprise waiting for her. Upon seeing the oversized stuffed bear, she was moved to tears, and the internet was abuzz with reactions.
"That's what true love is. I'm also waiting for my husband who's detained in immigration," shared one user, adding her own story to the more than a hundred responses the video generated. Yet, not everyone was swept away by the romantic gesture. Some viewers reacted with skepticism or humor, commenting, "What if she has someone else in Miami?" or "Long-distance love... happy for all four," and, "That bear isn't the only one giving hugs," joked others.
Although the surprise was orchestrated by a company specializing in such services, the video's success stems from the love story it tells: a romance enduring despite the miles. In an era dominated by video calls and hearts separated by borders, this gesture from Cuba shows that, even for a fleeting moment, love still garners likes.
