In late 2012, a young man named Ryan joined the U.S. Army as an E4 Specialist. He was stationed in Baumholder, Germany for the last two and a half years, and his family missed him terribly — especially his mom.
Ryan and his sisters from Thorntown, IN recently decided to plan the ultimate surprise for their mother. Sara told her she was at work while her sister, Angie, told her she was in class. But the truth? Sara and Angie were heading to the airport to pick up Ryan! That's right — they secretly flew Ryan home without their mom knowing a thing. Then, as the entire family gathered in the backyard for a July 4th BBQ and pool party, they had her play a fun little game…
When it came time for the surprise, the sisters blindfolded their mom and had her touch the faces of several family members and guess who they were. One by one, family members knelt down in front of her, but suddenly a strange-yet-familiar man in uniform appeared. As soon as Mom placed her hands on the sides of Ryan's face, I couldn't help but tear up. This is such a beautiful, special moment shared by this amazing family.
