ANOTHER EMOTIONAL REUNION
Ronin Coffelt was pleased to see his dad, a senior master sergeant in the U.S. Air Force, on his birthday.
The young man, who turned nine years of age, was hoping to see his father Mark, who was on an eight-month deployment in Qatar.
However, when the big day arrived, he got back home to a big present with a note that said his dad wouldn't be able to return home.
In the Facebook video posted on April 19, 2018, Ronin looks distressed after reading the note, which his dad supposedly wrote.
His mom, Aleecia, then asks him to open the big birthday box. At that point, he sees the note that reads, "Surprise."
He looks confused until the point that he looks up and sees his dad in full military uniform. His face lights up as he runs toward him, shouting, "Daddy, daddy, daddy!"
Aleecia made sure to have the emotional moment recorded in a video.
