Being away from loved ones is never easy. Those who have family and friends in the armed forces know this only too well. Nothing deserves a celebration more than when someone returns home from a deployment.

Trinity Campos is a miltary wife. Her husband, Specialist Bryan Campos, returned home in 2018 and Trinity and their daughter, Aria, couldn't contain their emotion when they were reunited. The touching event was captured on video.

Bryan had been deployed overseas with the First Cavalry Division Brigade out of Fort Hood, Texas. He had been away from his family for a whole nine months and spent that time in Germany.

Trinity and Aria clearly missed him a great deal. Aria even spent time in the lead up to her dad's return painting colorful posters for him. She was very excited to be seeing her daddy again soon after so long.

On the day of his return, the buses transporting the military personnel drove back to Fort Hood. Trinity and Aria stood with the other families waiting for their loved ones to come back. The deployed group got out and started walking towards their friends and family. The tears had already started for Trinity and Aria before Bryan reached them.

When he finally got to them they all embraced each other tightly. Their reunion was very moving–it was a truly beautiful scene to witness. After spending nearly a year apart, you can see what it means for them to be reunited.

The video was very popular on social media and had over 3 million views. Trinity told KXXV:

"I never in a million years thought this would ever happen. I never thought that something so simple or something so private to us would just become this big, known thing that everyone talks about."

Little Aria can be seen holding onto her teddy bear, which is called "daddy bear." She kept it close to her the whole time her dad was away. "While I was home, daddy bear was just a little teddy bear on the wall, but then when I left it became a little bit of security," Bryan said to KXXV.
