Everyone has felt homesick at some point, whether or not they’ve ever permanently left the place closest to their heart. Maybe it’s that shared ache that drew so many people to Yasmin Yassine’s video about her family trip.
The influencer flew to Lebanon, where her father is from, to help him reconnect with the past he left behind as a 19-year-old. Footage of him stepping into his childhood home after 46 years, and what he finds there, is quickly going viral.
“I practically cried throughout the whole video!!! I could see and feel your father’s gratitude for being back in his homeland. There’s no amount of money in the world that can buy that. To remember is to live,” one user wrote.
