After opening up the pile he unveils his dad and the duo immediately hug each other.

Clarissa Padilla, the filmer, said: "Earlier in 2020, my brother left for the Border Patrol Academy, leaving behind his 4-year-old son. The training was supposed to last for six months but due to COVID-19, it turned into nine months."

"My brother and nephew were longing for each other. My brother had a hard time being away from my nephew, to the point where he started questioning his career choice. My family and I encouraged him to continue his career & that we'd care for his son no matter what."

This clip was filmed on December 19, 2020, and has raked in almost 100k likes on TikTok.
