This was a new one for me. A lot of times the person coming home doesn't know I'm going to be there, but they always have known that some part of their family/friends was meeting them. Not this time! This Marine was under the impression that someone from his base was picking him up for the 3 hour drive home and then his family would meet him on base. WRONG! Sneaky wifey arranged everything and surprised him with their 2 year old at the airport. And boy was he surprised! Such a sweet moment…6 months in the making. No matter how many of these Operation: Love ReUnited homecomings I do, they never get old…and I get teary every time! What a gift to be able to witness such amazing moments and meet such wonderful people.
Welcome home, Marine. Enjoy that beautiful family.
