Deployed Dad Surprises Kindergartner Son
I absolutely LOVE these stories. They always bring a tear to my eye as I see the look of joy and happiness in these kids’ faces.
DAYTON — Gabriel Hurles was so engrossed in the cupcakes his mom brought to class for his sixth birthday Wednesday that he didn’t notice the enormous wrapped box that came in shortly after.
“That’s one big giant present,” his classmate Jacob, 6, alerted him. “See what you got, Gabriel.”
Gabriel peeled back the wrapping paper, then jumped back in surprise, letting out a yelp.
“Hi daddy,” he said.
Then he let the rest of the Sutro Elementary School kindergarten class in on the surprise: “It’s my dad.”
