There’s perhaps no bigger fear as a parent than sending your child off to war.
The weeks and months of waiting for them to return can be excruciating.
Derhachi District Mayor Vyacheslav Zadorenko posted the video to hisFacebook.
In the video, we see Zadorenko drive up to his home with several other soldiers.
However, in recent weeks Ukraine has launched an impressive counteroffensive and liberated the town.
I was waiting for you!
I knew it; I knew you’d come, my flower bloomed.
I thought the war would end when my flower bloomed.
She continues, Oh god, you gems.
I knew it, I knew it, I knew it, everyone is safe.
I was waiting for you to come.
I took all your thing, I saved everything, everything to the last gram.
Zadorenko then tells his mother how much he has missed her.
In typical mom fashion, his mother wonders if he and his fellow soldiers might be hungry.
As she sees him, she exclaims, My darling!
I was waiting for you!
I knew it; I knew you’d come.
Mother and son continue to embrace, celebrating his return home.
