When this little boy turned around, he simply could not believe his eyes!
On Monday we featured a story about a daughter surprising her mom after 20 years of being apart due to a closed adoption.

Another story of family joy has surfaced.
This footage had me all foggy eyed on the treadmill as this little boy, Kelton, sees his military dad for the first time in over a year.
The video was shot in Kelton’s classroom. His teacher asked the class if any of them watched the Super Bowl with their dads the previous weekend. This struck a chord with Kelton as he mentions that he couldn’t watch it because his dad was deployed to Iraq.
When the teacher asks him to turn around, the emotions run wild. He simply could not believe his eyes, his dad was behind him! Totally the best surprise ever!
I am such a sucker for family togetherness. This reaction as the little boy hangs on his dad's neck is too precious.
Take a look at the emotional video below:
