Avi shared her thoughts along with the video, saying, “This was such a wholesome ride! We had a whole conversation on farming and how he really identifies with nature and how it’s his passion. Luckily I had a few coloured sheets of A4 paper and made this cute little rose. It’s just something small, didn’t think much, but his reaction was soooo cute (wish I had more time to make a stem and all).”
Since being posted, the video has garnered over 240,000 views and numerous likes and comments. Viewers have expressed their appreciation, with one user commenting, “He’s going to keep that for the rest of his life. Think about when a nice customer listened to his hopes and dreams and handmade him a flower.” Another added, “Small gestures like these make big differences.”
