I Need a Kleenex

Since becoming a Mom, just about anything sentimental can bring tears to my eyes.

We have tv monitors in the studio, with the audio turned down. This morning, I looked up to see a young girl about 11 years old being surprised by her Daddy, a U-S soldier on a short leave from duty.

This little girl's face said at all. Shock. Relief. Excitement. She couldn't run to her Daddy fast enough, then hugged his neck.

Moments like these get me every time.

Deb...I watched this today and balled at my desk. I am so happy for that little girl and I don't even know her!

I had the tears streaming down my face this morning too! I had to redo my make-up before I headed to work.
Love U,
Nick

My mom and I saw it on the news and were in tears. Then when the re-feed came on at 5:30 yelled for my dad (a Naval Korean Vet) to come see the video. This was a four hanky moment!

I only hope I can be at the airport when Brandon comes home to have a tearful reunion like this one.
