In a touching yet depressing video, a young medical student informs her mother that she has been accepted into her dream residency program.

She had called and left a message for her mother, but she had passed away. The phone call Paighton Noel made to her mother in 2020 was a follow-up to the same call.

‘It might sound strange to call my deceased mother, but it just felt like it would be crazy not to include her in that moment,’ Paighton explained.
