This hit really close to home, I just moved out of my family home and across the country this week. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go call my mom.

[@Mskittenlover12]

The things I end up on at 4:30 in the morning...I'm not even Irish. I'm freaking American. Just...how did I get here? How?

[@sezadahro4007]

I never been home since 3 years ago..i live in another country without anyone of my family...survive everything by my own...now i do miss them especially my mom

[@AidanXD10]

im very confused. A competition where families bid to get their loved ones they havnt seen for years back home. Must suck if you lose?

[@Swag_licious]

This is so touching

[@suzyrain2000us]

the younger brother is so cute

[@thelilredhead7005]

ok so 1: if the boyfriend was good to her why did she never see her family. 2: three years is a long time to not tell your own mother where you are 3: it just doesn't quite add up...

[@feddyblade9908]

i think they had a problem back then. but it's going well now. but not seeing her own family for three years kind of makes her.. a bitch.

[@Dimplesarecutie21]

how did i even get here

[@beaniebasham1984]

I was wondering the same thing.

[@oisinbradleymoore9424]

I some how got here from love/hate vids

[@DGSE]

same...

[@peachesledwidge4635]

"I'm in a house with 3 boys, it would be good to get my girl back...." Awww.

[@WolfsH0ok]

They will be at each others throats after a week.

[@noe29933]

Its marvelous they should do each CHRISTMAS

[@alexxxidlbi]

she left her brother and mother for one guy for 3 years wtf ...

[@gabymolina3406]

OMG THIS MADE ME CRY!!!!

[@ninivihjaramillo8319]

That nearly made ne cry and its so sad

[@1dforever583]

[@evelynchapman5075]

[@tomasmcd443]

[@Grainne41Ireland]

That lovely son finds birth mum best of luck to you both x

[@bullmccabe9288]

I think she was more happy to see the audience than her mother

[@pauldrakecomet]

A flight is only £300

[@rassledassle82]

This was....weird....

[@huttut519]

I don't understand... where was she...?

[@andrewlieb2721]

[@andrewdeegan1815]

[@modernmonkey]

Money can't buy it? It took money to fly her back

[@lydia13031996]

Aww

[@Mskatie1357]

Posted on my birthday!!!!

[@willardmcmorris9702]

welcome to IRELAND buddy!

[@robynfentyfan]

I cried

[@slobomotion]

I don't think people realize how hard immigration is. You will likely never see your friends and family again and it's very sad.

[@kevinmeehan71]

lol the boyfriend just standing there hahahha

[@hipretty]

OMG I don't get it...I am crying more than she is. She's not even looking at her mum...I'd be kissing and stroking my Mother's face!!!

[@niamhleonard5294]

Yep I'm irish

[@over50andfantabulous59]

Family IS important:FIGHTING WITH FAMILY? I WAS. WATCH this. . . .

[@paulocastromalczewski5530]

Really nice!

[@jackflynn6610]

Very good

[@Comewithmeifuwant2live]

AKWARRRRRRRD!!!!!!

[@mkmike8389]

i remember dis

[@burkchub272]

My only question is what kind of daughter is away for 3 freakin years from her family unless she was imprisoned lol! What a joke

[@fuzzylogiceire]

It's emigration, many many Irish have emigrated, particularly in economic recessions. That's why there are so many Irish in the US, Australia, UK etc.

[@sonyamarie4189]

I have not seen my mother so far for 7 years and counting. Sometimes finances are not available.

[@burkchub272]

that's fucked

[@sonyamarie4189]

Yep it's sucks but there really isn't anything I can do about it. I can save and something comes up and on her end as well. So if you see your parent on a regular basis be thankful and enjoy it

[@SchwarzeWitwe2]

I live in Australia (I'm American, not Irish) and couldn't afford to visit home for 4 years.

[@samihaque9848]

"Welcome to Ireland buddy." ;)

[@laylabenson1288]

Any military reuniting is a reward! As they reward our country with sacrifices beyond our thoughts Freedom is Never Just Free O:-)) Kiss :)) Kiss :)) a Military Mother of many years of Sacrifice :((

[@still_guns]

I'm thinking it was a divorce that seperated them

[@RavynIceFire43]

What the hell is "bowsy"?

[@dannyspelman1468]

A "bowsy" is an old drunk in Dublin slang.
