A Marine, who told his family he couldn’t make it home for the holidays, left them in tears when he unexpectedly walked through their front door.
Along with his sister and Detroit’s WXYZ, Pvt. Shane Martin planned the epic homecoming, and it was all caught on television. Much like the soldier who surprised his wife at a South Carolina Walmart, the family had no idea Martin was coming home that day.
The news station was interviewing the family live as they spoke about how difficult it is to be away from their son, who joined the military with his best friend. Both his mom and dad were visibly holding back tears as they spoke about the thought of spending such a merry time without someone so dear to their heart.
“It’s very hard to describe, like a piece of us is missing. We are usually all together for the holidays, so this one is going to be very difficult,” his mom said during the interview. “And he’s the baby, so it makes it a little harder.”
Thankfully, the holiday wouldn’t be as hard as they thought. Just watch the heartwarming reunion filled with so much emotion below.
