Blind Woman Overcome With Emotion After Restaurant Surprises Her With Braille Birthday Message

A video capturing a restaurant staff's inclusive surprise for a blind patron on her birthday went viral.

TikTok user Natalie Te Paa was celebrating her special day at Gino D'Acampo's Luciano restaurant in London when she was presented with something not on the regular dessert menu.


Placed in front of Te Paa was a plate of melted pieces of chocolate spelling out, "Happy birthday," in Braille—the tactile writing system designed for the visually impaired.

A video of Te Paa's joyful response was posted on her TikTok page, where it racked up 8.7 million views in 24 hours, according to Indy 100.

I’ll never forget this moment. #braille #blind #blindtiktok #viralvideo

Te Paa wrote in text on the video:

"So I'm totally blind and this is the moment I realized the lengths the restaurant staff went to in order to wish me Happy Birthday."

When she was given the chocolate surprise, a waiter told her:

"We want to wish you a happy birthday."

Te Paa's friend, who was sitting across from her, asked for the birthday girl's hand so she could place it on the raised chocolate dots.

The moment she realized what the establishment did for her, she exclaimed:

"No freaking way."
"They did not!"

Te Paa continued with effusive glee:

"You guys are amazing."

Another text in the video read:

"They had the chef write Happy Birthday in BRAILLE!!!... using melted chocolate."

TikTokers were moved by the inclusive gesture and felt all the feels sorely lacking in our current climate.

The viral clip was also shared on Twitter, where users got out their Kleenex.








D'Acampo, the Italian-British celebrity chef and media personality who owns Luciano, also acknowledged Te Paa's birthday on the TikTok post.

Te Paa thanked him and wrote:

"Between the filming of this night, I was in floods of tears! So blown away by this team."

We hope it was the best birthday yet!

There has been a lot of buzz around relationships between married women, mothers, and single women lately, and specifically how single women are treated. Now fuel is being added to the fire in how single women are portrayed, specifically that they must be on vacation full-time.

That's because mom and TikToker Danielle Ekwerekwu really thought she was onto something when she pointed out that childfree people not only have more free time than parents do, but that they are essentially on vacation full-time while parents are making sacrifices.

Teachers Share The Things That Were Normal For Millennials That Would Have Their Students 'Crashing Out'

We all know, in theory, that the times are changing, and with each new generation of students there will be changes in educational curriculum, approach, and learning tools.

But just like how hard it can be to do the math to figure out how long ago we graduated from high school, it can be really hard to swallow the fact that school looks so incredibly different for students now than it did for Millennials and Gen-Xers.

Dr. Oz Raises Eyebrows Over His Bizarre Defense Of New Guidelines For Alcohol Consumption

Dr. Mehmet Oz, President Donald Trump's administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), raised eyebrows over his bizarre and surprisingly permissive defense of new guidelines for alcohol consumption, saying "it does allow people an excuse to bond and socialize, and there’s probably nothing healthier than having a good time with friends in a safe way."

Oz spoke as the Trump administration on Wednesday released updated dietary guidelines for Americans, emphasizing whole and minimally processed foods, reduced consumption of refined carbohydrates, and what officials described as a “war” on added sugars.
