Most kids grow up with at least one parent who works full-time, and oftentimes two. If you’ve ever been on either side of that situation, you know that, even though it’s necessary, it can be hard for the child and for the parents when you don’t get to see each other as often as you might like.
As this touching ad from Japan shows, working parents often have to make difficult decisions about how to balance their lives. But sometimes working parents don’t really have a choice, because they have jobs that keep them far from their loved ones nearly all the time.
You might wonder what kind of parent would choose a career like that. Well, oftentimes it falls to brave and patriotic moms and dads to make a choice to sacrifice their own domestic lives for the good of the country, by signing on to join the armed forces.
For parents in the service, that means that you really have to make your time at home count, as we saw with this amazing mom who gave her kids the best gift ever. Now, one military dad coming home to Florida is busy setting up a similar surprise!
Navy Cmdr. Kyle Croce has been serving for the past 18 years, and he is now returning home to civilian life. His wife, Letitia, know he’s coming home, but they decided not to tell daughters Caroline, 6, and Aria, 5. Instead, watch as they stage a very special surprise homecoming for their little girls!
And if this video made your heart ache for all the moms and dads serving overseas everyday, please SHARE on Facebook to show your appreciation for servicemen and women across the country!
