He added: “When I was a little boy, I hated when my mom would cry ~ these days, I'll happily take her tears of joy.”

Writing directly to his mother, he added: “Mom, there's no greater feeling than to make you happy ~ welcome home. I always say, if you got a good mom then you got a shot at becoming a good, caring human being.

“Let's all give our mamas a big grateful squeeze this weekend and make 'em happy.”

He also posted a second video, which featured Ata’s reaction to seeing pictures of her family on the wall, along with a collection of Ukuleles.

“Very cool moment,” Johnson commented. “Brought my mom into her new family room where we placed her vintage ukuleles on the wall and I was able to unearth pictures of our ancestors that she hasn't seen since she was a child growing up in Samoa.”
