It’s a Disney moment this boy will always remember.
Any kid would love to go to Disneyland. It’s a place of magic, of wonder, and where a lot of beautiful memories are often created and cherished. It’s a place meant for families where moms and dads can bond with their kids away from the worries of life. But of course, not every kid has their mom or dad around.
This holds true for those who have a mom or dad in the service of the nation. Kids like this little boy spend a few weeks to months and even a year away from a parent only seeing them through video calls and the odd visits.
So a visit is always special.
Especially when it’s a surprise! It’s already a given with men and women in uniform. Once they have made plans to come home, someone is getting surprised. Wondrous occasions are always special!
He is posing for a picture.
Or so it seemed. That classic Disney castle makes for a beautiful background so why not snap one? As he stands under the beautiful sunlight, a man can be seen making his way through the crowd. That Navy look is unmistakable.
It’s been five months since this boy last saw his dad. Imagine what that does to a father and son. Someday, this kid will understand why dad had to be away for a few months.
Dad removes his hat and squats down behind his son.
It doesn’t take long for the young man to turn around and see his father.
“Daddy!”
And without hesitation, he jumps into his father’s arms for an embrace that melted everyone’s hearts in the area. Strangers included. A crowd has gathered around, applauding the touching reunion between a man and his boy.
The boy can’t help himself telling his dad how much he’s missed him. His dad hugs him again and as he does, his son gives him a kiss getting a collective awww from the crowd. How sweet is this?
Welcome home, sailor!
The US Navy is a branch of the armed forces focusing on naval and amphibious warfare. Anything and everything to do with the water, including surveillance, defense, intelligence, and missions fall under the Navy’s responsibilities. They are awesome.
Dad here is on one of those bad ass looking ships. He’s part of the reason people back home get to eat and sleep peacefully day in and day out. His is a sacrifice a lot of men and women make to keep their country free from foreign threats. All at the expense of their own family time.
Dad thought of his son out there.
“Now we’re all going to stay and have lots of fun.”
He says,
“Now we can wrestle so much!”
His son replies.
That’s affirmative, kid! Dad picks him up and stands, his well built frame perfect for his uniform. He puts his hat back on to the cheering and applause of onlookers who were lucky enough to witness such a special moment between a father and his son. It’s going to be a blast back home for the family! There will be food, drinks, laughter, and more importantly, love.
