This Marine just pulled off the sweetest homecoming surprise for his daughter and every precious moment was captured on camera. It’s never easy to be separated from a loved one. But this is the reality that many military families in our nation must face every single day.

They are separated from their loved ones and must navigate the world without them for a prolonged time period. This means celebrating births, birthdays, holidays and more without these special people by your side. Even though we are all so proud of what these brave men and women are doing for our country, there is still a piece of our heart that aches for them to return home. This little girl has been missing her daddy while he has been serving in the Marine Corps.

Today, she thinks she is getting a bunch of cookies, but the real surprise is even better. Just watch as she clutches her ‘Daddy Doll’ and runs outside to see a big box on the sidewalk. She is so excited because that box could hold a whole lot of cookies. As she starts to rip away the paper, she finds that the real surprise is her dad. He orchestrated this entire homecoming reunion and the smile on this girl’s face is worth every moment.

I know this adorable toddler is happy to hug her real daddy right now. We are eternally thankful for the freedoms we have because of men and women like these who sacrifice for their country.
