A tearful uncle’s moment with his nephew after five days of waiting for his sister to be discharged from hospital has become a viral sensation.
Sernad Hoxia, 22 years old, is shown walking towards Liri Hoxha (25 years), while holding Noah, her infant son.
Sernad immediately put his hands on his heads in disbelief and reached out to touch his sister’s forehead.
Sernad Hoxia, 22, is pictured. She first met Noah, Noah’s five-day old nephew, in the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital parking lot. Noah was barred from the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital maternity unit by ongoing Covid-19 restrictions.
Sernad held his neck in his hands as he approached his younger sister and her infant nephew.
Sernad approached his sister Liri right and kissed one of her foreheads. Sernad told Liri, “I’m so proud of your accomplishments.”

Sernad, Liri stated, had dreamed since childhood of becoming an uncle. That moment occurred on March 25, when Noah met Sernad in a carpark at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital.
Though the moment took place earlier this year, it wasn’t until months later, in October, Liri shared the video on social media – soon seeing the post go super viral.
Liri from Fulham said Noah and Sernad shared an irresistible bond ever since.
She spent a long time in hospital due to COVID-19 protocols, and she also had an emergency C section. It worried the family.
Liri continued: “Unfortunately, there weren’t any visitors to the hospital. So my family had five days to patiently wait until they were able to see Noah and me.
“My brother was there for us five hours until they released us.
“Many commented on his greeting and telling me how proud they are before acknowledging me as a baby. That is really heartwarming.
“I believe he said that because I needed an emergency C-section, and there were a lot of complications. He was happy to see me well and healthy.
After being presented to his nephew, Sernad was praised by social media.
