It's heartwarming to see the way some children react when a military parent returns home from deployment. It's even better when they have no idea they're about to see their loved one.
For example, when one mother surprised her young ones at school after nearly six months of deployment, the moment was priceless. And who could forget about the Army Corporal who photobombed his son during the annual school pictures?
The unexpected reunion featured in the video below is just as sweet. It shows a soldier sitting his the backyard waiting for his daughter to return home from school. The minute she walks in and sees her father, she screams "Daddy!" She then breaks down in tears and can't stop. It's hard not to get emotional seeing her heartfelt reaction, which makes it seem like her father has been gone a very long time.
Yet, what makes this moment even more memorable is the young neighborhood friend who happens to be there for the emotional reunion. As soon as the girl starts crying, he quickly runs over and seems to be pretty concerned with her tears.
Just listen to what he asks at the :34 mark and wait for the response.
