WATCH: Mum gets one last hug at her child’s funeral

A video at a child’s funeral shows a balloon mysteriously floating towards the mother, as if to have one last embrace.

Astonishing footage shows the moment a floating balloon somehow makes its way over to a grieving mother at her own child’s funeral.

The camera is pointed at a small white coffin surrounded by white balloons and then starts to follow one of the stray balloons as it starts floating of its own accord.

With Ed Sheeran’s ‘Thinking Out Loud’ playing, the camera then lands on the distraught, weeping mother who is sitting down. It takes her a little while until she notices the balloon hovering around her, but when she does, she pulls it close.

The balloon seems to be comforting the mother as she holds on to one last embrace with her late child.

Many who’ve viewed the video are divided, with some believing it’s real and others saying it’s a hoax.
