Feb 06, 2020 by apost team

Erika Benning spent her entire life dreaming of becoming a police officer; however, those dreams were pushed to the back burner when she discovered that she was pregnant with a little boy.

Once her son, Giovanni, was grown, she made it her mission to achieve her goal.

Imagine her surprise when the Texas woman was finally being sworn in as a police officer only to have her son, now Sgt Giovanni Pando, arrive, who she hadn't seen for two years due to military deployment. 

At 21-years-old, Giovanni is now an army sergeant.

But then, just when she was about to be sworn in, a surprise caught Erika totally off-guard. After two-years of being apart from each other, Giovanni had managed to show up for the ceremony. While the two kept in contact daily during his station in Germany, they hadn’t been face-to-face the entire time.

Erika’s husband is the one to thank. He had worked tirelessly to ensure that their son would be there for the ceremony. His hard work made it possible for Erika to enjoy the completion of her life-long dream with the people she loved best at her side. 

The moment is so touching when Giovanni rounds the corner, dressed in his army uniform. Erika instantly breaks down in tears and covers her face. Giovanni goes over to hug his mother, comforting her as she sobbed. She must be so glad to see her son again after two-years apart!
