The daughter hid the construction of the house for a whole year to surprise her mother (11 photos + 1 video)

Buying your first home, especially in the current economy, is a huge event that should be celebrated with your closest and dearest people. When Niomi Jackson built a house, she decided to tell her mother the good news and staged a prank.





Nyomi didn't tell her family that she was building a house



A year ago, a woman bought an empty plot of land and built a house with a beautiful interior. The renovation was completed just in time for Niomi's mother's birthday. Wanda traveled from Virginia to Florida to celebrate her day with her family. She believed that she would stay in a cozy rental apartment. The youngest daughter also arrived, and none of them suspected what would happen.

In a touching video, Nyomi showed how she played a prank on the family. The video quickly went viral, collecting more than 3 million views and hundreds of positive comments.





The American played a prank on her mother and younger sister





Wanda enters the house and takes in the beautiful furnishings. She becomes suspicious when she notices a painting of an elephant that Nyomi has had for over ten years. The daughter announces that this is indeed her home.

Joy overwhelms Wanda, she squeals with delight and pride. Nia's younger sister smiles and congratulates her on such a big achievement.

Niomi admits that she owes her success to her mother, who always supported her and said: “When you have a goal, move towards it, move towards it tirelessly.”



Mom couldn't hold back her tears



Buying her own home was a monumental achievement for Nyomi. She and her sisters were raised by a single mother and lived in a tiny two-bedroom apartment in New York City.

Keeping a secret, especially such a big one, is not easy, but the woman wanted to make a memorable surprise. “I just needed them to understand everything at once,” Jackson explains. “Judging by my mom’s reaction, I did a pretty good job.”

She is right. The sight of a foundation or construction is not as impressive as a fully furnished house where you can relax and have a cup of coffee while trying to comprehend what has happened.



“Sometimes I watch the video. It’s like a pill that you take and it makes you happy,” Wanda shared her emotions.

Niomi built from scratch



Nyomi calls her mom “the biggest superhero.” Such a warm relationship between mother and daughter is real happiness. Unfortunately, many become estranged from their parents. Growing up, we become independent people with our own views and interests, which may differ greatly from our parents, which leads to disagreements. The key to a harmonious relationship is mutual respect.

Children should try to forget the insults caused by their parents. Remember that they are also living for the first time. Let them correct their mistakes, have a heart-to-heart talk with them and give them a big hug. They still love you very much and you will always be their baby.



Nyomi's journey from a cramped two-room apartment to a luxurious home is convincing evidence that perseverance and hard work pay off. The woman gives only one piece of advice: “If you have a goal, stick to it and make it come true.”
