Jenna has spent every Christmas with her parents in Port St. Lucie since she was born, according to her mom, Monika. But this year's Christmas is going to be a little different for the family, and in more ways than one.
Jenna, a sailor in the U.S. Navy, she hasn't been home since August, and wasn't planning on coming home for the holidays. At least, that's what her mom thinks.
The news team at WPBF worked with Jenna and her dad to surprise Monika at the gym, where she and her daughter would work out every night. Monika was under the impression that they were interviewing her about being a parent with a son or daughter in the military who wouldn't be coming home for the holidays. But the interview quickly turned into a surprise reunion.
Jenna walked into the gym while the cameras were rolling, much to her mom's surprise, and the two embrace for what seems to be a very lengthy amount of time — apparently at least 45 seconds! It seemed as if mom and daughter couldn't let one another go!
The only anxious person in the room was Jenna's father, who waited all 45 seconds for his turn for a hug!
We're sure that this won't be a Christmas to forget for this happily reunited family!
