Navy dad surprises son who has rare brain condition after deployment #shorts

A navy commander was brought to tears when he arrived at school to surprise his son who has a rare brain condition after almost eight months away on deployment. Jesse McGill, 38, couldn’t fight back the tears as son Kingston, 10, let out a high-pitch scream of ‘daddy’ before bursting into tears himself and running into his dad’s arms. The previous seven-and-a-half months had been tough for Jesse, stationed in West Africa with the U.S. Navy, as his son has arteriovenous malformation (AVM) a rare medical condition that causes vessels in his brain to tangle. So far in his life Kingston has survived three aneurysms leaving his parents on edge as even the slightest headache could turn out to be something life-threatening. Jesse admitted being away from his son was extremely difficult and so, on August 14, in Jacksonville, Florida, Lt. Commander Jesse wanted to do something special for Kingston. The surprise at Seven Bridges School in Orange Park went perfectly, and one day Jesse himself hopes to teach in an elementary school.

يكفي هذا الفيديو ليعلم كل انسان ( اذا كان انسان ) ان الحروب دمار علي الجميع صغار وكبار واطفال ولكن من يتخذ قرار الحرب ليس بانسان اطلاقاً

These kids are so stressed and scared that they parent may never return. So happy but sad at the same time…so happy for him.

나도 울었다 우리애들아빠는 우리아들군대갔을때 천국으로갔다 가슴아프고 아프고아프다 우리아들 좋은아빠한테 효도하겠노라 편지써놓고 군대갔는데 그효도못받고 떠났네 지금제대해서 나한테효도중. 그냥건강하게 커주는게 효도 아들아 사랑해 엄마가 아빠보듯 너를위해 평생 더잘할께 사랑해

Ah man, as a father of 2 boys, I teared right after young G cried. Life is all about their happiness. I would give my last piece of everything to see my boys happy.
