A heartwarming video showing a Derry woman's emotional reaction to a Christmas surprise by her children has made it to the final stage of a competition run by regional airline Loganair. Deirdre Mahon, who lost her husband Mark in April last year, was overwhelmed with joy when her daughter Eimear surprised her at home after flying back from Brighton for Christmas. Later that evening, she received a second surprise when her son Odhrán, who had travelled from London, joined the family reunion.
A heartfelt video of a tearful Derry woman opening the door to her two children in a surprise Christmas video is in the running for a special prize.
“This Christmas was one I was dreading after losing Mark earlier in the year," Deirdre said. "But having my children surprise me was the most wonderful gift I could have asked for. Eimear and Odhrán turned what could have been a lonely time into one filled with love, support, and family. It’s a Christmas I’ll always remember with gratitude.”
The reunion was particularly poignant as Deirdre had been dreading spending the holidays alone in the dream retirement home she and her late husband had built together.
