No matter how old we get, our parents will always be special to us. So you can imagine how hard it would be growing up while not having them around. We sometimes take for granted having them around, but when we lose that, we realize just how important they really are.

That’s why we should always try to spend as much time with our parents as we can. If you have time to spend with your mom and dad, take that time, because it is never guaranteed to last forever.

Military kids know exactly how that feels. Lots of kids have moms and dads who are in the military and they go months on end without getting to see them.

When they do finally get to see their mom or dad again, their reunion is about as emotional as it can get, even for those lucky enough to witness it.

Below is a video compilation of some of the internet’s most touching military reunions ever. You may want to grab a few tissues first, but be sure to share it with your family and friends. And go call your parents, or give them a hug, and tell them just how much you love them.
