Twitter user Jadin Hart was the first to bring us this sob worthy story. Her nephew reported that he wanted only one thing for Christmas... for his daddy to come home. Ten days before Christmas, the boy got to open an early Christmas present.

The box was large. Voices in the background ask the boy what he thinks the gift could be. He says, "I don't know. But I think I'm going to like it!"

Slowly the boy removes the wrapping paper off of the giant box. It's almost as if he doesn't want the moment to end. After what feels like a disturbing amount of time, the young boy finally removes all of the wrapping paper.

Get your tissues ready.

From a shower of tissue paper, a man in an army suite emerges. The young boy doesn't say a word. He wraps his arms around his father and stays like that. He won't let go, and his father doesn't seem to be in a big hurry to end the hug, either. It's bittersweet to see father and son embraced. It puts everything else, the presents and stress of the season, to shame.

It makes me want to plan a visit to my grandma, to sit with her on Christmas day so she won't be alone. I want to call my parents and tell them I love them. It puts everything into perspective. What does it do for you? Send this to someone you are missing a lot!
