Woman Praised For Sneaking In Rum And Coke For Dying Dad's Final Drink

She wanted him to have the best possible send-off!

When people's lives are coming to an end, they typically have a last request or two, but with life being life, they can't always become a reality.

However, one daughter has won the internet by revealing how she smuggled rum and Coke into a hospital to give her dying dad one last taste of his favourite drink. Watch below:

The heartwarming footage was posted on TikTok by Pennelope Ann, who captioned the video: "One last drink with dad before his spirit returned to the universe. Until we cross paths again old man. I love you."

"I came prepared for the send-off,” she explained. "Give him a little taste here."

The Australian woman then shows herself carefully putting some of the drink - a can of Bundy - into a syringe for her frail father.

The woman's mother then updates him that he's about to get a drink.

"We brought you rum, Dad,’" she said. "We’re going to put it in [a syringe] and put it in your mouth."

Pennelope Ann asks her dad if the drink is good and he replies: "Hell yeah."

She says 'Hell yeah' again while laughing as she ends the video.

The sweet send-off.

Unsurprisingly, the sweet video did not go unnoticed and at the time of writing, it has been viewed over 1.8 million times.

"I'm a palliative care nurse and this is brilliant," wrote one viewer. "May he rest in peace."

A second added: "That is a guy who wanted to celebrate the life he had and so he should do it the way he wanted to. Sleep tight buddy."

"Rest in peace," wrote a third. "That's an awesome send off and I hope his wife is doing okay [as it is] such a hard thing for her to go through. Condolences to all his loved ones."

Meanwhile, a fourth shared: "I work in a hospice and I've done this exact thing. If they're at the end of their life, a smoke or alcohol won't do a single thing expect perhaps make them smile. This is brilliant."

Pennelope Ann later took to TikTok to explain how much the kind comments on the viral video have helped her process her dad's passing.

"Thank you TikTok community for being so supportive and kind," she said. "Those were some of the last moments of interaction we had with my dad and I'm so glad I did record it."

She explained that her father had been sick for a while before he passed, and she took the opportunity to tell him she'd look after her mum before he died.

"He looked at me and he gave me a nod," she said. "And we said we'd be there in the morning, and, well, he wasn't there to greet us for the sunrise.

"And that's okay because he was always an early riser. I expected nothing less."
