From time to time there will be a video that truly warms our hearts and brings tears to our eyes. The video below is one of them!
Appearing on Anderson Cooper's television show is Anne Gratz and her three beautiful children. The video begins with the family explaining that they haven't seen their dad in months because he's been away serving in our nation's Military in Afghanistan.
Cooper explains that the family should record a special video for their missing father, just to let him know that in spite of the vast distance between them, there's still an incredible amount of love.
It's at that moment, when the beautiful family is finished recording their little video message that the camera changes and you suddenly realize it was all an elaborate set up! There he is, we couldn't stop crying when Army Sergeant First Class Lucas Gratz, better known as "Daddy," walks up to his family with a bouquet of red roses.
Usually it's the family members who get to say "welcome home!" but in this fantastic surprise video, it's the soldier who gets to say, "I'm back!" what a heartwarming video, and what a cute little family. We especially love what the adorable little blonde angel says at the end, she's so excited to see her dad that her cough is suddenly gone!
This video should serve as a reminder that there are thousands of families out there just like this one who are looking forward to the day that they can say to their father, husband, son, wife, daughter, mother, brother, or sister those perfect words. "Welcome home!"
Please SHARE this beautiful reunion if you're thankful for our nation's brave soldiers!
