“Her biggest dream was meeting Daddy Yankee,” Mendoza told TODAY over the phone. “She’s loved him since the beginning. Basically, she always tells everyone that goes to her house, she tells them that he’s her boyfriend. And she had this picture of him on a frame like he was one of her sons.”
From a dream to reality, Soris met the man she’s been dreaming of since she first heard the song “Gasolina” in 2004 after his Sept 20 concert at Madison Square Garden. It was an emotional meeting as Soris was brought to tears.
“He hugged me, he gave me a kiss,” Mami Flor told TODAY after she met him, adding that he signed her framed photo that she took to the show. “He’s humble and has a good heart.”
