    What a blessing to find out you have a child when you are childless. Sadly, I think Jerry's ashamed of who he's become & that he can't live up to being a worthy dad. Jerry... you are worthy. Please grab this gift with both hands.

    What an outstanding young lady. If She was my daughter I would be SO proud of her. Just her outgoing personality and demeaner are hard to ignore. I wish Moira every success. May life give her every happiness.

    People of the samoan culture, y'all are seriously beautiful inside and out

    How her beautiful smile hides her aching heart. Young lady you are an inspiration and what an absolute gift you are to the world. God bless you
  • @lilariki3183
    Wow she’s beautiful and looks just like her grandma. What a wonderful blessing

    That’s just how Samoan nanas are, they really do step up if their sons don’t

    Ok I'm watching this in 2021 and wow she looks like hed grandma. So happy she got to meet her dad but its even more happy that her grandma still keeps in contact and keeps that bond with her granddaughter. Moira is such a beautiful bubbly girl.
  • Looks like shame has taken over - he’s suffering which no one can understand but him. Hope they find support with building a strong connection.

    beautiful & confident girl. great her grandma is in her life

    I feel this is a real magical moment! Mental illness is something that is beyond difficult, I’m a retired RMN, of 40 years. It’s not treated properly as it should be. Balance hasn’t been quite found as yet. I loved this story. Sad Dad was so overwhelmed, it was obvious from the start he was struggling. But time is helpful and Nan is a beautiful person who will be there for her. Strong ladies x
  • Really bubbly n funny...Who wouldnt want to meet a lovely bubbly funny daughter like her...All the best Missy, journey on young Lady.
  • Oh my goodness, I couldn't stop crying when her n her Dad first met, it was so beautiful! I hope Jerry comes around, it just maybe so much for him to take in at the moment but can see that he was happy that he has a beautiful daughter. But she's got her Nan, and that's lovely 🥰🌺🌿
  • @savaiianteine1
    Awwww she's so beautiful. She's funny too. God bless you and your family. Now your grandma is going to spoil you.
  • @yemaek
    Grandmother and granddaughter got that bond going right from the go.
  • @tv685_
    You can really tell that he never in a million years imagined that something like this would happen to him. He’s shook and taken aback as I’m sure anyone else would feel if you yourself thought you could never produce an offspring. He probably needs time to think about it all. Hope they’re in each other’s lives today.

  • @booyah2u296
    A bitter/sweet story. Jerry, you have a beautiful daughter who wants you in her life. You can't turn back time but you can create new memories and bonds. Embrace her before it's too late. So happy that grandma has formed that bond with her gorgeous granddaughter.
  • @hellurmoto3163
    This man is a familiar face, guarantee you'll find him at Paknsave porirua every now n then too. He seems like a broken man, but hes human at the end of the day too! Having a loving family doesnt mean you won't get experience lifes lows, but I pray he comes through one day for her!
  • KIa kaha Moera!!! What are beautiful soul you have. So happy you have found love in your Samoan nana and may the stars shine on you for a very long time. Arohanui xoxox
