Brittany’s husband was so looking forward to returning home from his first deployment, he decided to arrive a day earlier than planned. The couple didn’t tell their eldest daughter, however, but instead told her to wait for a surprise in the kitchen on the day. She may have thought she was getting a new doll, but what walked into the room was far more delightful. Her daddy gave her a huge bear hug and the family were overcome with emotion.
