- Gift of a family residence bestowed upon the father by his daughter.
"Dad, check this out!"
"This wasn't just any old property, but a place that held deep sentimental value, having been where my old man spent his childhood," she put in her social media post. Following the demise of her grandfather, she stated that her parents wanted to put the house up for sale to cover her grandmother's medical expenses. "I feigned assisting in its renovation before resale, but in reality, I had my eyes set on buying it for them," she admitted in her post. Three years on, she still felt a wave of emotion, "after keeping this secret, surprising my parents, and then laboring tirelessly to make this place their dream home. I can't believe this is actually happening. Dad, this is for you - you're deeply missed and loved more than words can express."
The accompanying YouTube video presented a tour of the first phases of renovation, showcasing the transformation in April 2021, situated in Claremont, California. After the house had been stripped bare and blueprints were drawn, she broke the news of the purchase to her parents during their second visit in June 2021. "Now, this house that held your childhood memories is all yours, Dad," she told him with a broad smile. Her father was touched, exclaiming, "This is lovely, Jessica, quite the surprise!" Emotions flowed as he wrapped her in a loving embrace, tears welling up in his eyes, "I know he'd be incredibly proud of you." Fans can expect to see more of the renovation process in a following part, as she mentioned in the clip. Some before-and-after photos already highlighted the remarkable transformation of the family home. The renovation, according to her, was aimed at preserving "my grandfather's spirit and legacy throughout the entire house," she explained to her parents.
She reminisced about her father's childhood days in the 'parent house,' feeling a deep affection for the place. After the successful renovation, she planned to gift it back to her father, saying, "Dad, this is your parent house once again."
