Emily noted that she and her 19-year-old brother always shared a good relationship and did a lot together growing up. In 2020, he left for the United States Marine Corp's boot camp and had not seen his family since then.

The first few months of his departure were difficult for his family as they could not call him but only communicated via letters. As the months went by, Ryan spoke with his family via calls and Facetime, but there was no physical meeting.

Two sisters were named valedictorians of their graduating class.

Ryan was supposed to visit the family a few days after the graduation but decided to pull a big surprise on his big sister to make the day as memorable as she would have imagined.

Emily thanked the school for going along with the preparation to make the surprise smooth and loving. Many viewers noted that the moment spotlights the importance of family, especially in these times.

Family surprises have been described as touching and memorable, especially a surprise from a loved one that has not been seen in a long time.

A bride got the most incredible gift she imagined at her wedding after her brother, a marine, was granted a last-minute leave to be present for her wedding. The bride struggled to hold back tears, not to ruin her makeup, but she was surprised.

Two sisters were named valedictorians of their graduating class in their different Savannah-Chatham County high schools in another lovely family moment. The two siblings said they were proud to see their family beautifully make history.
