For most young children, birthdays are the best time to ask for everything they want and to celebrate them getting older. For this three-year-old and many children, what she wanted most for her birthday was her dad to come back from Afghanistan and in this video, we get to see that wonderful wish come true!
For lots of children with parents in the military, the main thing they want is their parent home
A common heartwarming trend we see is military parents surprising their children with coming home early or unexpected. In this video, we see this but it happens to be the little girl’s birthday and her reaction is priceless.
The video starts with the three-year-old little girl opening quite a big present. While she is tearing off the wrapping paper, she is wondering what it could possibly be, with one family member remarking maybe it’s a bike! As the little girl keeps unwrapping the mysterious gift you can see her excitement to find out exactly what it is.
As the box becomes revealed, we can see it is a Kenmore appliance box which is definitely not a common gift for a three-year-old. This is when we can start to guess the gift is not exactly what the box is portraying.
The more the little girl unwraps, the more she starts to wonder what could possibly be in the box!
When she is done unwrapping the whole box, the mom tells her to open the flaps and see what is inside. As she opens the flaps, her dad pops out of the box and says “Happy Birthday!” and the little girl’s reaction is extremely heart-melting.
She sees her dad and she can’t help to squeal in excitement and jump into her dad’s arms, which you can tell has been a long-awaited hug. Both the father and daughter are in pure bliss as they reunite for the first time in way too long.
The mom asks the little girl what she got for her birthday and she is too happy and excited to put it into words only being able to point at her dad. The father and daughter duo are still standing in the box trying to get out, nut neither one wants to let go of the other.
For many families, moments like this are extremely cherishable and precious.
