Sweet Moment Military Dad Surprises 5-Year-Old Daughter at School

During show-and-tell at preschool, Leah Funk, 5, showed off her teddy bear that her dad gave to her before his deployment in Kuwait with the U.S. Army. Brian Funk, 30, of Wichita, Kansas, had recorded a message inside the bear so Leah would still be able to hear his voice. After Leah showed off her toy, Brian surprised her by showing up to class. Leah squealed with delight and jumped into his arms. “He was beyond excited to hold his little girl again and to finally get back to be a family,” said Leah’s mom, Jennifer. #InsideEdition

I thought it was cute when she tossed the bear, she's like "don't need you anymore, I got a better one" 😁

Boy in red: what kind of sorcery is this?

There were a ton of Stuffed Animals I used to have from my Dad who used to be in the Military that he'd buy for every Surgery I ever endured as a child and as a Young Adult. Sadly under the influence of my Mom and her distorted perception of him, I mutilated them as I felt betrayed and disrespected. He knows about it and I'd not doubt if he's "Hurt" to the bone, even though he says I can't hurt him. (Didn't mean to make this into a total negative as I still have the Military Bear somewhere in the storage).
