“In life, brother, in life” is a phrase that we have read and heard hundreds of times, because, generally, we forget that we only come to this world in passing and that in the blink of an eye we are gone.
That is why we have to value our loved ones, so that we do not regret the moments that we could not share or so that they do not play a practical joke on us like the one that David Baerten did to his family and friends when he felt little appreciated by them.
It turns out that David decided to teach his loved ones a good lesson, who have been ignoring him and putting him aside, so with the complicity of his wife and daughter they put together a joke that for many was not funny at all.
David Baerten is a 45-year-old man from Belgium who, with the help of his wife and daughter, led his other family and friends to believe that he had died, only to later surprise them in the middle of the funeral when he arrived in a helicopter.
It all started like this: David’s daughter used social networks to share a message regretting the supposed death of her father and hinting at the surprise of his death. Also, he mentioned how much he loved him and how important he was to her.
Rest in peace, dad. I will never stop thinking about you… Why is life so unfair? Because you? You were going to be a grandfather and you still had your whole life ahead of you. I love you! We love you! We will never forget you.
With this message, his family and friends began to react alerted. Saddened and heartbroken, they attended the funeral on the outskirts of the city of Liège. However, halfway through the burial, a helicopter began to be heard, which caught the attention of all those present when they saw that it was heading to the funeral event.
Once the aircraft landed, before the astonished gaze of the “bereaved”, David descended and upon recognizing him, there were those who ran to where he was to hug him even when they did not quite understand what was happening.
After this episode went viral, many began to question the reasons for making this little joke. However, David only limited himself to explaining that he wanted to teach his family a kind of lesson because he believes that many have distanced themselves from him.
What I see in my family often hurts me, they never invite me to anything. Nobody sees me. We all drifted apart and I didn’t feel appreciated… So I wanted to give them a life lesson and show them that they shouldn’t wait until someone is dead to meet them.
We don’t know how effective the prank was and whether someone fainted from the shock or if the prank backfired and they moved further away from him, but what is a fact is that most of us want when they give us this kind of news, this was a joke, right?
