Erica Maison filmed a life changing surprise for her 14-year-old daughter Corey. Erica tells Corey to look behind the couch pillows. From there, Corey removes a tiny box.
When she opens it? Corey realizes it's the moment she's been waiting for: It's her prescription hormones. Corey is transgender and has been waiting 2-1/2 years to be able to begin hormone therapy.
"This was it, this was the most pivotal turning point in her life, and we both knew it," Erica told BuzzFeed. Estrogen therapy is just another step in making Corey feel more comfortable in her own skin.
"We were both crying and shaking. She literally took my breath away, as she has never given me a hug like that before," Erica wrote on Facebook. "I have never felt so much love from her than that moment. It was a mixture of pure joy and relief from us both."
This is clearly one of those special mother-daughter moments that anyone can relate to. I can't help but think of this photo series that shows the unbreakable bond between mother and daughter! Corey's video currently has over 3 million views on YouTube. Erica has to be happy about that, as she decided to share the moment to show others that her daughter isn't so different than any other girl.
"I want people to watch this video, and see the raw emotion of a transgender child that can finally live her life the way she feels inside," Erica noted. "I want people to see this, because maybe it will open their eyes. Open their eyes to anyone who’s different."
Please SHARE if you think Erica is one really supportive mother!
