Riley Morse hadn't seen her father in more than a year and didn't think he'd be back home until Christmas. So when Sgt. Major Ronald T. Morse learned he was coming home early after 14 months in Afghanistan, his final tour after 30 years of military service, he decided to give his youngest daughter the surprise of a lifetime.
He and his wife Tammy planned the surprise holiday homecoming while Riley was in dance class, and she never saw it coming. During the class, Riley thought it was just another typical day. So when her dad walked into the studio, Riley was overcome with emotion. She stopped dancing and leapt right into her dad's arms. This family has a lot to be thankful for this holiday season.
"Military kids take a lot," Tammy Morse told Fox 5 News in Las Vegas. "They get all the bad, not always the good. Just to give them this gift, the excitement… it was hard to pull off but it was good."
Watch the surprise homecoming below, and please SHARE this with all your family and friends.
