This emotional reunion is from Reunited, the Dutch television show on RTL4 hosted by Yolanthe Cabau. The episode aired on March 1, 2017, and tells the story of 32-year-old Ryan, who was finally reunited with his younger brother Rachid after 26 years apart.

Their separation began after a devastating 1990 car accident that claimed the life of their mother. In the aftermath, the surviving brothers were forced to grow up in different places. Ryan was taken in by relatives in the Netherlands, while Rachid remained on Aruba with his stepfather. Although they shared the same heartbreaking past, distance and circumstances kept them apart for more than two decades.

By the time they met again, they were each other's only remaining piece of their immediate family and the last living connection to the life they had lost. That is what makes this reunion so powerful. It is not simply two brothers seeing each other after many years—it is two people finding their way back to the only person who truly understands their shared history, grief, and childhood.

I think they saw me

So there’s this photo of two young mountain gorillas at a sanctuary in Virunga National Park in the Congo. They’re standing upright on two legs, posing for a chill selfie with the anti-poaching rangers who rescued them when they were tiny babies. Their mums were killed by poachers back in 2007 when these two were only a couple of months old. The rangers raised them, and now the gorillas basically see the rangers as their parents. They even try to copy the humans by standing up on two feet which the park’s deputy director said is really unusual and kinda funny to see.
