That's great stuff. Thanks to the DP for the video coverage. Kid's are obviously very proud. Well done, Dad.

Great story but I wish someone could have found the mother to join in this reunion.

What a wonderful story. I just watched the video on 13 news and the daughter's tears as she hugged her daddy had me crying right along with her. Let's have more of this genre. Stories from the heart, with a heart are a welcome change from politico-praising drivel and stupid thief drama.

I did not see the clip on channel 13, but watched the video and read the story. I can tell you, I left a lot of tears on the table. Good job DP

Thought I heard part of the plan was for dad and the kids to be home when mom arrived.

I do hope someone took the kids out for an hour or so. LOL.

What a great story. I pray that Dad gets to come home and be with his family permanently.
