Mom Surprises Daughter After 10 Months Apart Dressed As Easter Bunny | Happily TV

A 10-year-old immediately burst into tears of joy when her mom who she hadn't seen in 10 months surprised her dressed as the Easter Bunny. For almost a year, Zariah and her single mom, Autumn Bachner, 28, from Washington State, had been apart, as Autumn spent time relocating her family's life across the country to Florida. She and Zariah are originally from Washington State, but having moved to Texas in 2017, the pair then returned in 2022 to be around family and friends once more. As money became tight, though, Autumn made the tough decision to move to Florida, where her money, she said, would go a lot further. Autumn's father wasn't ready to say goodbye to his granddaughter, and with Zariah at an important time in her schooling, Autumn made her second tough decision: she would set up life in Florida and work as much as possible, while Zariah stayed in Washington with her grandpa. The months that followed were extremely difficult, as she hated being apart from Zariah and worked as much as possible, living in a single-room house to save for a bigger place she could furnish. This transition took longer than expected, with the stresses and strains of being a single mom away from her daughter also having an impact on her mental health. When everything looked more settled, though, Autumn decided she needed to plan a surprise reunion for her daughter. She opted to return to Washington around April Fool's Day, as that is Zariah's birthday, and Autumn is always playing pranks on her at that time. With the day coinciding with Easter, Autumn decided to don an Easter Bunny costume - and having been collected from the airport, on March 31, she headed to her father's house.
