A mom who thought she was heading outside to help fix her dad’s flat tire got a huge surprise when her husband presented her with a much-needed new truck.
Mom-of-three Shanerica Knight, 29, from Quitman, Georgia, did not know how to react when she laid her eyes on the black Chevrolet Tahoe with a bow wrapped around it, walking around the parking lot in complete shock.
Shanerica had previously been driving a Honda Accord Sport, but with a 10-year-old, a six-year-old, and a four-year-old, the vehicle was starting to feel cramped, Shanerica said.
But then, ahead of her upcoming birthday, Shanerica – who had wanted to go on a cruise – was told by her husband that he had a different kind of gift in mind.

Shanerica decided to go with the flow, and with her 10-year-old’s birthday being just a couple of days before hers, the family decided to head out for a celebratory dinner.
It was then, on June 7, that Shanerica had just taken her seat in the restaurant when she was told to head outside because her father had a flat tire.
Shanerica thought she would be heading to her husband Ja’Juan’s vehicle, but having confusedly walked past it, the 29-year-old then saw her Chevy with a bow around it.

Ja’Juan captured his wife’s stunned reaction on video as she paced around in disbelief at the sight of her much-needed “Mom Truck,” as it was dubbed by the family.
Shanerica said: “When I saw the truck with the bow on it, I was filled with joy.
“I wanted to cry tears. I instantly fell in love – I was lost for words!
“I’ve been out a few times and have had strangers say, ‘I saw you and your nice truck on TikTok,’ and they congratulated me, also telling me how great of a husband I have.
“The message I hope others take from my story is to simply be patient.
“You might not get what you want exactly when you want it, but trust the process, and eventually you’ll get what you deserve.”
