There is no greater feeling than seeing someone you love after a long time apart.
Especially when that reunion is a long time coming. But sometimes, something comes before saying hello to the person you love — like sleeping.
Five-year-old Ethan was born with hypoplastic left heart syndrome and an intact atrial septum. In April 2016, he was admitted to the hospital with an upper respiratory infection.
At the same time that Ethan was admitted to the hospital, his father Dennis was coming home from a 7-month deployment.
Dennis tried to wake Ethan up while he was resting in the hospital, but Ethan didn't want to get up. He was tired and trying to finish getting some sleep!
But Dennis doesn't give up. Eventually, Ethan cracks an eye open and realizes that the person who is pestering him while he's lying down is his dad, whom he hasn't seen in seven months! The smile on his face when he sees his dad is just priceless, you can see all of the happiness he is feeling!
If you think this is so sweet, you will also love this father coming home from deployment early and surprising his daughter at school!
Don't forget to SHARE this adorable moment between father and son with all of your friends and family!
