Mother’s Emotional Reaction to Surprise Visit from Her Military Son
There are few things as precious as a mother’s love for her children, and this mother’s emotional reaction to a surprise visit from her military son is a beautiful illustration of that love. Check out her utter joy at seeing her deployed son appear out of nowhere when she least expected it! Hoda Kotb shares the story during the Today segment, Hoda’s Morning Boost.
Aretha, an Oklahoma mom, traveled to Texas to inspect a new home for her son, a Private First Class soldier in the United States Army serving in South Korea. Soon after starting her walk through of the home, Aretha got a big surprise!
Watch as Aretha comes down the hallway, phone in hand, taking pictures and videos, and enters the kitchen. After doing a little double-take, Aretha realizes who is coming through the door. It’s her handsome son Marcion! Aretha cannot contain her excitement; she screams and drops to the floor.
It is the most heartwarming scene! Marcion bends down to embrace his pretty momma, and their smiles and hugs reveal an incredible bond. Of course, the older man in the video is not as demonstrative, but Aretha doesn’t hold back. Her boy, whom she thought was overseas, is right there in front of her!
Mom loves on her son, but she doesn’t have to miss him nearly as much going forward. Marcion had made arrangements to come home early to surprise his mother, but he would soon be living just one state away. They’ll get to see each other much more often! “The Sooner State” mom may be making a lot of hurried trips west (and south) as those zealous and greedy settlers did ahead of the Land Rush of 1889, but she won’t be doing anything wrong at all!
We sure are blessed to have young men and women willing to serve in our armed forces. It is a double blessing when their service is completed, and those servicemen return home safe and sound, welcomed back by loved ones like Aretha!
“For I too was a son to my father, still tender, and cherished by my mother.” Proverbs 4:3
