Thanks Charlee, that was beautiful!

Aren't those children precious? :)

yup...I shed a tear or two

You warned us :')

You were right. Loved this video.

Breaks my heart that they have to leave at all. So happy to see reunions like this!!

That was a multi kleenex video :D:D:D

Just heartwarming and beautiful, thanks for sharing it with us.

oh i thought you were going to put the link in the news about the memorial in New York. That made me cry. not sure it can be talked about in here. and that's ok. i've done enough crying today to last me awhile.

Yes, a few tears fell here, but love to see those reunions. Thanks for sharing.

Oh wow...I used more than a couple of tissues...thank you for sharing...Naomi

Ok now, made me cry.

Grab two Kleenexes. And thanks to those who keep us safe. I hope all the homecomings are as special as this one.

I loved that Charlee! Thank you for sharing with us!

No fair making me cry....

I only made it 3 minutes into the 8 minute video before I was a blubbering mess. LOL.

RE: this video.... that little boy was so cute. I love to see kids when their parents come home from a deployment. It always makes me smile.

Saw it earlier today. The little boy just tugged at my heartstrings. The tears were flowing - even my 42-year-old he-man was wiping his eyes.

Our news service showed the video of the husband and wife sporting clip...tears then...tears today...my mother phoned as I was watching and I had to tell her I had a spot of hayfever...Thanks Charlee...very beautiful stories.

beautiful know just how they feel. DH called one night and said he was still in Hawaii and i knew it would just be 2 weeks more. however what i didn't know mr sneaky was at the airport in hawaii so in the morning there was a really loud banging at the door by the time i got there there was banging at the back door. i was thinking what was wrong and it might of been my mom who lived a few blocks away. finally got to the front door again and opened it to find DH there. what a great surprise that was. homecomings were always the best.

Love that program! My SIL is a career Marine with a number of deployments over the years. Each reunion, whether large or small, is such an emotional time. Grateful for his service, but more grateful for the time he is able to spend at home with family.

I love those happy reunions. It reminds me of a prank I pulled on my family. I went off to boot camp and then hospital corp school. I was there so long after I graduated waiting on my assignment papers to come in for my nest school. When I finally got them, I was packed up and out of Great Lakes, Il. heading home via plane to Pittsburg, Pa. I just made it to the greyhound bus terminal with 15 minutes to spare, before catching the greyhound to Cumberland, MD and still not calling home, I got a taxi the last 20 miles. I dropped my seabag in the front yard and knocked on the front door. Needless to say the commotion from within was enormous when I ID'd myself. I was home for one week before heading to San Francisco.

yuppers...one just did not do the job..

Thanks for sharing, it is always wonderful to see things like this. Makes the day a lot better. :thumbup:

Wonderful! God bless all those soldiers out there!!!!!

Thanks so much for sharing. It was so heartwarming. 8-)

wow. whoa, yes, tissue, that little boy when he started saying daddy daddy, just reduced me to putty.. So priceless, Thank you for sharing. :)

You are right! I should have gotten the tissue before watching the video. I think scenes like this are played out almost everyday as troops come home.

Beautiful homecoming! Praying they'll all be coming home safe, sound and soon!

At least these are happy tears.

THanks,
I used to watch the show "Surprise Homecoming" on TV. However, being the mom of 2 sons who have deployed multiple times, it is just a little too emotional for me to watch every time. I can't do it without crying, so I need to not watch them...

Have a great day!
Susan

you are terrible I just cried and I need to be working :cry:

Yep as soon as it started so did the tears!

Usually I don't cry, I just feel happy. But boy this one got to me, and what a way for Dad to make an entrance.

That was so beautiful. Thank you for sharing this with us.

I watch this program and I always cry through the whole thing. Thanks to all in the military and their families

Hand me the box of Kleenex!!

And I don't cry easily, but that was so touching.

You were right about the kleenex. Thanks for sharing. :XD:

Yeah. Thanks for that... I am already addicted to the show Homecoming! Now I have videos to watch while waiting for my own Surprise Homecoming!!
