I don’t know about you, but I could never get sick of watching the moment soldiers return home to their loved ones. There’s something about them that really tugs at my heartstrings.
Many of the videos are very emotional, like the moment when a military mom creatively surprised her kids at school after a nearly six-month deployment. And nothing makes me smile more than when soldiers are reunited with their beloved dogs, like Brent Cartwright, who was greeted by his little pooch at the airport.
The soldier in the video below is another who wanted to surprise his mother and made sure to keep his return a secret. As he approached his home, he saw his neighbor and asked her to help with the surprise. Willingly, the neighbor rang his doorbell and told his mother to come outside.
When I saw his mom’s reaction at the 1:54 mark, I couldn’t help but smile. Her shock and happiness were both evident.
“How did you do that? I thought you weren’t coming home till August,” the mom said.
He replied with a laugh, “Yeah, something like that.”
What’s even cuter is when a younger relative comes outside and greets the soldier.
Watch the clip and please SHARE if you loved watching the reunion!
