Watching their son sign and then play for one of the world's biggest football clubs would definitely make any parent proud.
However a trip to Chelsea's club shop proved too much for the mother of Jorginho, Maurizio Sarri's first summer recruit, as she broke down in tears at the sight of his No 5 shirt.
The Brazilian midfielder took his family to the club superstore at Stamford Bridge and filmed the moment his mother first saw her son's name printed on the back of a Chelsea shirt.
She was overcome with emotion and grabbed hold of the jersey before turning around and breaking down in tears.
The 26-year-old former Napoli man then embraced her and kissed his mum on the cheek as she whispered something into his ear in front of the onlooking shoppers.
Jorginho played under Sarri for three seasons at Napoli and joined Chelsea for £57million shortly after his appointment as manager last month.
Chelsea face Manchester City in the season-opening Community Shield on Sunday before travelling to Huddersfield Town for their Premier League opener six days later.
Jorginho is expected to play from the start against Pep Guardiola's side at Wembley as he continues to adapt to life at Stamford Bridge.
He is seen as a key cog in his manager's famed 'Sarri-ball' and has been helping his new team-mates to adapt to the intricacies of the system since his arrival.
