Parents enjoy the company of their children even while doing the simplest chores. As kids grow up, the bond with parents becomes a more understanding and mutual one, where both acknowledge each other’s needs, hopes and more. Lindy Dunne and her brothers, now grown adults, knew how profound a parent-child bond is. However, as adults, they also understood that parents also have their own dreams and hobbies, per PEOPLE. The kids knew that their mother, Lizza Maggliazo, had a love for the legendary singer George Strait. However, when they decided to surprise her with tickets to his concert, they added a surprising twist.

Dunne shared a video of herself revealing the surprise to her mom in the company of her own daughter and her brothers. The family first presented the mom with a T-shirt featuring the singer to “tease” her. She was grateful for the gift. Soon after, the kids motioned her to look at an envelope placed on the table. As she opened it and read “Surprise,” she was unable to contain her excitement. Utterly confused and speechless, Maggliazo looked at her kids and said, “No way!” Inside the envelope was a ticket to a George Strait concert and the mom was at a loss of words. Her reaction said it all.

Maggliazo shared that she went through trouble but still couldn’t manage to get tickets. She recalled joining a “fan club” so she could be one of the first persons to get her hands on a ticket, but seeing the price, she backed off. Little did she know, her kids had her back and had the ultimate gift for her birthday. The mom was already happy, but Dunne had another announcement to make. She told her mother that she and her brothers would be accompanying her to the concert.  As soon as Maggliazo heard these words, she couldn’t hold back tears and broke down.

Feeling ever so grateful and joyful, she remarked, “No way! Really? Me and my kids?” she asked. “Yes, Mom,” Dunne assured her. "I knew she was going to be excited for George. But when I told her it was all three of her kids going, she absolutely lost it, which is not surprising for us,” Dunne mentioned. “This woman has loved George Strait for as long as I can remember. But she’s clearly happier to go with her kids. She’s the best,” Dunne wrote in her caption.

Speaking of her mother, Dunne noted how Maggliazo “deserved” the surprise. “It's very easy to want to do kind things for her because she doesn't ask for anything. She deserves to go and just have fun,” she said. "If you're lucky enough to have a mom who is as sweet and kind, compassionate and giving as mine and I know there's a lot out there, you just want to be able to give back to them, even in small ways. She deserves so much more than a George Strait concert, but it means the world to her and that's a reflection of who she is,” the woman added.


@lindynicole_889 This woman has loved George strait as young as I can remember and he’s touring with Chris Stapelton. But clearly she is somehow happier to go with us kids. She’s the best in the world. @George Strait @Chris Stapleton #wholesome #surprisegift #surprisemomwith #giftformom #surprisegift ♬ original sound - Lindy
