Joe Riquelme, an app developer from New York, surprised his parents with a special gift on Christmas Day: he paid off their mortgage.
In a video he uploaded to YouTube, Joe is sitting at home with his parents and their dog, when he presents them with an envelope.

When his parents realise what Joe has done, they are moved to tears.
While Joe’s dad weeps, his mother cries, “Oh thank you. I love you”.
The touching video Joe uploaded to YouTube on December 26th has since had almost 2 million views.
