There’s nothing quite like being a child, as everything in the world is so fresh, new, and exciting. The little girl in this video loves nothing more than watching airplanes take off, so she was ecstatic when her mother brought her to the airport to enjoy her favorite activity. She had no idea that her mother had a special surprise planned for her!

It turns out that the little girl had been missing one of her favorite people in the world. Her father was a soldier in the U.S. military who had left home for training, and his daughter missed him very much. The girl just wanted her father to be home so that she could give him a big hug, and she had no idea that her wish was about to come true.

The video opens with the little girl looking out a window at the airport watching planes take off. Suddenly, her mother gets her attention and says, “Look right there.” Confused, the girl looks down the corridor, not knowing what her mother wants her to see. It’s then that she sees her father walking towards her, and she cannot hide her excitement!

This heartwarming video serves as a reminder of the sacrifices members of the military and their families make for us every day. This is why it’s so important to give back to them whenever we can and let them know how much these sacrifices are appreciated!
