What would you do if you could have a meal with your mother?
Is there anything you would want to get off your chest? Or perhaps you'd just want to sit there and enjoy her presence. I know I would do just about anything for this opportunity, so it must be just as hard for the people who still have their mothers, but don't have the opportunity to spend time with them.
Here in the United States, we celebrate Mother's Day in May, but in other countries like Thailand, Mother's Day is a very important holiday that falls in August. Although many people have time off to spend the day with their moms, there are some people who don't have such an opportunity, because they work so much.
That's why popular restaurant chain BarBQ Plaza decided to surprise some of their hard-working employees the rare opportunity to reunite with their mother's for a meal, since they have to work on the holiday. We've seen a number of touching commercials come out of Thailand over the years, but it comes as no surprise that this ad went completely viral after it was released.
"The Waiter's Mom" is an ad that everyone can relate to and it says so much in such a simple way. Also, the ad is 100% un-staged, featuring real workers, their real moms and some very real tears.
I dare you to keep your eyes during this one! If you know a very special mom out there, please SHARE this beautiful ad with her.
