An elderly man has moved many online after insisting on personally bidding his daughter-in-law farewell on the day of her burial, describing her as kind, respectful, and deeply caring.
In a viral video shared on X (formerly Twitter), the grieving man explained that although she had been married to his youngest son for just four years, her impact on him and the entire family was profound.
“She was more than a daughter-in-law”
Speaking emotionally, he revealed that he had even given her a special name, “Chimochima,” in recognition of her character.
“I renamed her Chimochima. She married my youngest son for just four years, and now they are telling me not to come and speak about her. She was my youngest daughter, a very good daughter who took care of me. I have other daughters, but she stood out,” he said.
He went on to emphasize that her kindness, respect, and genuine love made her more than just a daughter-in-law—she had truly become his own child.
