Brittney, the boy’s mom, shared in the comments that this was her son, Lejin’s, first time ever being on the internet. She went on to say that despite being intentional about keeping him away from the public internet, the universe had its own plan on his birthday.

“A group of strangers saw him, felt his light, and captured a moment so pure it’s now going viral. Not for fame, but for the joy and love it carries. I didn’t expect it but I received it with laughter and tears. To see so many people touched by his spirit on the day of his third birthday celebration. That’s a kind of magic I’ll always remember.”

Alexa, the original poster, shared an update via TikTok sharing that she and Brittney have been in touch since and she received photos of Lejin on his birthday.
