She Was Able To Sneak Her Dad His Favorite Drink Into The Hospital Before He Passed Away
A woman on TikTok has received lots of support after posting a video that captures her family’s final moments together before her father passed.
Penelope Anne (@penface) from Australia gave her father a lovely and sweet send-off by spending time with him and her mother in the hospital.
She snuck in his favorite drink, a can of Bundaberg rum and cola.
In the video, Penelope loads up a small syringe with the drink, telling her dad that she “came prepared for the send-off.”
Penelope’s dad seemed very content at the moment, while she and her mom were able to have a laugh and exchange smiles.
Penelope sweetly captioned her video with the words, “One last drink with dad before his spirit returned to the universe. Until we cross paths again, old man. I love you.”
After the video went viral with over 395,000 likes, Penelope made a follow-up video to thank TikTok viewers for their condolences and answer some questions.
In the response video, Penelope revealed that her father was suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

He also had other medical issues that piled on top of each other, leading to him being sick for a long time.
In their final moments together, Penelope promised him that she would take care of her mom. The two of them left him one evening, and he passed later that night.
“He wasn’t there to greet us for the sunrise,” says Penelope in her video. “That’s okay because he was always an early riser.”
Some TikTok viewers weren’t kind enough to send Penelope condolences but instead asked why she would record and post such an intimate moment on the internet.
“I’m so thankful that I did record it,” says Penelope. “I’m so appreciative that I thought to set my phone up.”
“I just hit record, and I captured 15 minutes of mom and I just getting any interaction out of him that we could before he passed away.”
Penelope also acknowledges that most viewers loved the video and appreciates all of the well wishes.
She continues to document her grieving journey on TikTok, recording how she’s been feeling and trying to heal with her mom. To view the original TikTok video, visit the link here.
