This American Woman Flew All The Way To UP To Attend Her “Facebook Son’s” Wedding

A mother is the only person in your life who can love you unconditionally and irrevocably. And sometimes, you don’t even have to be related to your mother.

A very recent and clear example of this is the story of Krishna Mohan Tripathi, a man from Gorakhpur who found a mother in an American woman named Deb Miller, and all thanks to Facebook.

4 years ago, Krishna Mohan Tripathi who was browsing through Facebook  came across Deb Miller’s profile and sent her a friend request.

As they started interacting more, the bond between Deb (who has no children) and Krishna (who lost his mother when he was younger) grew more.

Deb, who is a California resident, started to emotionally support Krishna as well.

Krishna was left a bit surprised when Deb accepted his wedding invitation

Krishna said, “I was surprised to receive a call from her on January 20. She informed me that she had reached Delhi and was enquiring about details of trains to reach Gorakhpur.”

 

Krishna’s relatives went out to receive her at the Gorakhpur railway station and welcome her

Deb said, “I do not have children and when I interacted with Krishna, I felt god had fulfilled my wishes. He is a very nice person and I pray to god that all his wishes come true.”

Krishna who married one Neha and is currently pursuing M.Sc. from Awadh University, Faizabad, plans to become a lawyer and visit his ‘mom’ in the US

He said,”Mom (Deb) has invited us to America and soon we will go there.”

Not only did Deb surprise everyone by coming down to Gorakhpur, but also gifted Krishna jewelry worth Rs 25 lakh and a 125-year-old ring, that she had bought from an auction house in Britain. Wow, right?

Deb, who wore a gold Banarasi saree said she fell in love with India and also added, “I used to see Indian women (wearing saree) on TV and always wondered how they carried it. However, it is a very nice and suave dress. I am taking back two dozen sarees as return gifts. I will come back to India and visit the Taj Mahal with my son.”

Deb who left for the USA showed that a mother’s love has no boundaries… quite literally.
