What gets me is when he asks her if she wants to be let down, and she says no. So precious.

[catkeys]

It shows how much it hurt her not having him around. She could release her tears now, because he's home, and everything's ok.
"You want me to let you down?"
- So softly and tearfully - ❣❤❣❣❤❣❣❤❣❣❤❣

[tapsars]

I lost my father over a year back and have still not got over the loss . I can just imagine the emotions flowing between these two people 😭

"You want me to let you down?"
"No!" :(
That's cute

My sweet niece was so excited to see her daddy!!! This brings me to tears!!!

[ZiaMartin]

I remember being at this assembly and my principal that was the best school ever

[peperruti]

I almost cried too "i'm a man and not ashamed of admitting it". 

[beatrizcalkins]

This is so beautiful. I just never understand why the dads are always in a hurry to stop hugging or to let them down. Always let the kids decide when they're ready to stop hugging! They feel deeper. Don't let go until they do! <3

These surprises are gut wrenching, makes me sad for all the " un-returned " soldiers the loved ones never got to hug 😢

[pablovelazquez]

Five years later, he finally got to put her down

[phanirazraachakonda]

Truly Very touchy and valuable. I had been in the same boat numerous occasions, every time meeting again is unforgettable. The hardest time is the departure moment.

[Zaiqahal]

Legend has it to this day that she has not yet let go of her dad.

[drag]

I would like it twice if they would let me.

That evening:

"Honey, let go of Daddy, you need to lie down to sleep now."
