A SHOPPER has shared the emotional find she saw in the clothing section.
The homemade knit top, from a thrift store, had a custom tag which had her in tears.
Willow Avalon (@willowavalon) filmed the tender moment in a video on TikTok.
“Who donated this?” read the text.
She held up a gray knit oversized sweater with a price tag of $5.09.
Inside the neckline of the top was a loving message stitched inside.
The message read: “[to] my soulmate” and on the other side: “I [love you] Tres.”
“Be right back,” Willow said. “Crying in the thrift store.”
