Brilio.net - Sometimes, the last item a mother holds before she dies has a very valuable meaning, both emotionally and symbolically. These items can be a reflection of memories, love and strong relationships with family. Apart from that, the items can also be a valuable inheritance that connects them to their mother figure.
That's what this man named Maji felt. He still has an ice cream cone that belonged to his mother before she died. The story can be seen in the TikTok video posted by the account @chenmajii.
In the story, around 2 am, the mother was admitted to the ICU and needed intensive care. The next afternoon, he tried to buy his mother an ice cream. The mother accepted the gift and said not to eat the ice cream before the mother came home.

"In the afternoon I bought a mixue, then mom said don't eat it, I'll come home in the afternoon," he wrote.
Finally, Maji carefully stored his mother's ice cream in the refrigerator. But unfortunately it turned out that the mother didn't come home from the hospital until the next day. In fact, he had to hear the sad news that his mother was declared dead.
"But mom herself doesn't know how old you are until tomorrow, mom. I don't blame mom for not coming home and not eating her ice cream," wrote the woman.

Until now, it has been 9 months since the mother's departure. However, Maji still kept the ice cream in the refrigerator. That's because he adheres to his mother's words before she died not to eat the ice cream.
"I still keep my mother's mixue sundae that I bought 8 months ago when my mother was in the ICU so that my mother would be happy. I never threw it away, because my mother promised to come home and want to eat the ice cream," he wrote.
But sadly the mother will not come home forever. Many netizens told him to eat the ice cream. However, Maji replied that he could buy new ice cream at any time.
"I can buy it myself, as long as mom comes home," he concluded.
This story then went viral and attracted the attention of netizens. Many were moved by the video. They admit that they cannot control their sadness when it comes to their mother.
