Daughter Surprises Mom With Incredible Childhood Photo She Thought Was Long Gone

Mother Daughter Photo

There is something very special about a mother-daughter relationship. We love our moms and would do just about anything to make them happy. When we become mothers ourselves, we better understand the sacrifices they made for us. Our desire to do something special to let them know how appreciated they are increases. Jenna Faggart certainly feels that way about her mom.

The Mom’s Dad Died When She Was Very Young & The Daughter Knew A Precious Photo Was Somewhere To Be Found

The loving daughter explained on her TikTok, @jenna.and.her.gents, that her mom’s dad died when she was young, and there are very few photos and memories of him. Her mom recently saw a picture of the Grand Motel in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, and it sparked a memory. She told Jenna there was a brochure made for the motel when she was a kid with her family’s photo.

She texted Jenna, “I would give my right arm & left to find that brochure.” That’s all she had to say to get Jenna to work.

Jenna blocked her mom on social media and set to work trying to track down the long-lost image. Luckily for her, she found it. Jenna had the picture blown up and framed and revealed it to her mom in a sweet moment.

Now, a grandmother, she opened the box and immediately began to cry.

“I found it,” Jenna says.

“That’s me,” her mom exclaims.

The photo search was a true testament to the love of a mother and daughter, and the video made many people emotional.

Someone wrote, “‘That’s momma and daddy’ got me. That’s how my grandma referred to her parents and she sounded just like her saying it. I love this.”

The photo is a treasure, “This photo is iconic on its own… such a beautiful vintage photograph… but for her to be in it… with her parents… gahh! This is why I love photography so much! What a beautiful gift!!!”

Of course, there were lots of tears. “Here I go crying for strangers again!!!!”

Jenna, thank you for sharing this special memory with us. We needed a good cry today.
