Erica asks Corey to look behind the couch pillows, where the daughter finds a tiny box.
As she opens it, Corey realises that it’s the moment she’s been waiting for. She can now begin her treatment and start on her journey of becoming a total woman.
The video stops abruptly because Erica says she and Corey broke into tears, which she did not want to show.
“We were both crying and shaking. She literally took my breath away, as she has never given me a hug like that before,” Erica wrote on Facebook. “I have never felt so much love from her than that moment. It was a mixture of pure joy and relief from us both.”
