Air Force Staff Sgt. Michael Nardone showed up as a patient at the hospital his wife works at. Coming home from his fourth deployment since their marriage back in 2006, this couple has been through the trials and tribulations that a long distance relationship is forced to go through.
So when Michael found out he was being sent home a bit earlier than initially expected, he decided he wanted to surprise his wife in a big way. He admits that he's terrible at pulling off surprises, but when you watch this touching video, you'll see that he's one of the best pranksters out there in the world!
You see, his wife, Leah, thinks that Michael is still thousands and thousands away doing his job protecting our country. She's been working another day in the hospital as an ultrasound technician, when suddenly she was informed that there was an injured person in dire need of her services.
As she wheels her equipment through the hospital corridors, she clearly hasn't the slightest clue that she's mere steps away from the surprise of her life. As Michael lays back in his hospital bed, hiding beneath the covers with a big smile on his face, I had no idea I would end this video in tears!
And with two kids waiting for their parents to come home, we can happily say that the Nardone's are finally a full family once again! What an amazing memory for everyone involved!
