Twitter user @Javiii_Zuniga recently posted what quickly became a viral tweet of his family’s truly unconditional love. According to his tweet, when the Blockbuster store in his family’s town finally closed, @Javiii_Zuniga’s 20-year-old brother was devastated. As @Javiii_Zuniga mentions, his brother in on the autism spectrum and the closing of the store really took a toll on him. So his parents did what they could to ease the blow. They built him his own mini Blockbuster fully stacked with his favorite movies.

@Javiii_Zuniga recently posted this tweet of his 20-year-old autistic brother getting the sweetest surprise: his own Blockbuster store.


“My autistic brother was sad that Block Buster (sic) was closing down so my parents made a mini one at home for him! ? ❤️,” reads @Javiii_Zuniga’s tweet.

Excuse me while I powder my nose and not cry about this.

The parents were on their game as they opened their mini, family-owned Blockbuster the same day the town’s closed.
