After 23 Years Apart, Son Flies To Hawaii To Surprise His Mom At Her Store.

A mom is surprised to see her son after many years.

When Gordon Pullen planned a trip to Hawaii to see his mom for the first time in 23 years, he knew that he had to make his visit extra special. That’s why he decided to surprise her at her convenience store when he knew she’d be working! He managed to sneak in unnoticed, carrying his toddler in his arms. Finally, when the moment was right, he walked up to the counter pretending to be a random customer. His mother’s reaction was too adorable!

First, Mom gave the man a playful smack for not letting her know ahead of time. Then, she drew him into a big, warm hug! Only one thing could possibly top this mother’s joy at finally seeing her son after two decades, and that was meeting her grandchild for the first time.

“Here, I got you a baby,” joked Gordon, handing his daughter over to her grandma. Of course, she immediately fell in love with the little cutie-pie!

Watch the video below to see the long-overdue reunion.
