“I’m about to tell Bob I’m his kidney donor,” her mom excitedly whispers to the camera before rushing off to Bob’s home for the big reveal.
The clip then cuts to a shot of Alyssa’s mother waiting in Bob’s backyard, eagerly holding up her sign. “I’m just so excited!” she says with a massive smile before the video cuts to a shot of a screen door.
The door slides open, and Bob walks outside followed by his wife and a few other family members. Their expressions go from puzzled to stunned upon seeing the sign. Their jaws drop in disbelief, and the man’s hands dramatically clasp over his cheeks.
A unique and emotional reunion ensues. Everyone is in tears, and Bob is so shocked and overwhelmed that his wife needed to remind him to go over and hug his donor.
