This is the coolest skate trick you'll ever see because it ends with a hug Jeremy waited 18 years for
0:08
I've never been here before. You've ever been here before? Hey mom, watch me
0:14
What he said? Oh my God. When I was younger, she couldn't really take care of me and my sisters
0:24
It was kind of like a financial problem and not only that she was in a toxic relationship
0:29
Jeremy's mom, Carmen, had three children. His sister Sophia was looked after by her dad
0:35
and his sister Tara was adopted by family friends. She was trying to hold on to me as long as she could
0:41
but she knew that I could probably have a better family to grow up with
0:45
I wouldn't have to deal with all the moving around. At times of mine, I even have food or whatever
0:50
so she wanted to get me to somebody that was going to take good care of me
0:53
And Jeremy did get adopted by a family that took good care of him
0:57
But he told us he would still think about his biological family often It was always a burden on my heart Like I wish I could go see them I wish I knew where they were And I looked and looked and I searched and searched
1:10
I just could not find them. Until one day, his adopted mom found a binder with his sister's dad's name in it
1:17
which led him to find her on Facebook. I remember just sitting there for five minutes after we sent the message
1:23
and just praying and asking the Lord, I was like, Lord, just make this as easy as like talking like text messaging a random stranger and it actually
1:33
be my sister i added both of them on facebook right then and tera says she was just sitting there
1:38
and she saw that she had like got a friend request from a guy named jeremy she's like uh uh this can't be
1:45
like this there's no way We waited to tell my mom or even to be able to see each other
2:01
because we wanted to go surprise my mom They were like why don we do it at a park She going to get really loud I was just sitting there like oh man this is crazy This is like a dream Like I was kind of panting back and forth
2:13
Like, my heart was pounded. He heard what he said? Oh, my God
2:22
Tara. Is it Tara? What? Did you hear what he said? Are you filming me
2:28
Yeah. Why? You don't put it on the, um, you did he? you hear what he said
2:32
Yeah. What he said? Who is? How are you? Carmen
2:47
Oh my God, it's beautiful. Oh my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God
2:57
Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh. It was like a dream like even my mom kept saying she was like this can be real Like I had I need to wake up I in a dream right now And it literally felt like a dream It was like I was like sleeping I needed to wake up too
3:15
I just want to thank her for like, even though she couldn't take care of me
3:19
like making the decision to like say, you know what? He deserves a better lifestyle than what he's growing up in
3:26
She had prayed that I would have a better family that loved the Lord
3:29
and would raise me up the right way and do the right things
3:34
better than that, better than at which she could at the time. And I just thank her for just never giving in or giving up on her joy and never letting people take her peace away from her
3:51
And I love the fact that she's so, she has so much joy and peace
