6-year-old girl's adorable plea to her divorced parents goes viral
An adorable little girl’s words of wisdom have gone viral after her mother uploaded a video of her pleading with her divorced parents to be friends.
After watching her parents fight over a fallen shoe rack, 6-year-old Tiana told her mother she had a message for them.
“I’m not trying to be mean, I just want everyone to be friends,” Tiana said in a video that was uploaded to Facebook by her mother. “And if I can be nice, I think all of us can be nice, too. I’m not trying to be mean, but I’m trying to do my best in my heart. I want you, Mom, my dad and everyone else to be friends.”
Cherish Sherry, from Surrey in Canada, posted the clip and it has been viewed more than six million times since it was posted on Wednesday.
After apparently interrupting an argument between her parents, Tiana took her mother inside and, while sitting on the stairs, implores Sherry to try to get along with her ex.
Mom, are you ready to be his friend?’ Tiana starts.
Her mom answers 'yes'.
Tiana continues: Try not to be that high up [she gestures with her hands] to be friends, I want everything to be low. Just try your best.
At the end of her lecture, her mom tells her, 'Thank you, Tiana,' and they have a hug and kiss.
Sherry said Tiana’s message was a wake-up call, adding that it brought her to tears and made her feel guilty.
‘I was stunned by it,’ she said.
Sherry, who says she is a single mother working two jobs, added on Facebook: ‘Thank you for all of the sweet messages for my daughter Tiana.
‘As a single mom and working two jobs, it’s hard to find the time to reply to everyone.’
