However, before he passed, the man had asked her to continue his tradition of buying her mom the same Valentine’s Day gift every year. So, when the special day rolled around, Ari surprised her mother with a gorgeous bouquet of roses and a box of chocolates!
When Mom found out who this Valentine’s Day gift was from, she got teary-eyed and gave her daughter a big hug. This was an extremely emotional moment for both of them. Ari shared in her clip that purchasing the flowers and candy in her father’s place had been a challenge.
“Going and getting those gifts without him there was so hard,” she wrote. “I sobbed the whole way home.”
