A mom hugs her Marine daughter while others applaud.

This woman thought she was getting a “thank you” gift from her boss, but she actually got something much better: a visit from her Marine daughter who had come home to surprise her! Lydia was working her regular job at a BBQ restaurant when her boss presented her with a beautiful bouquet of flowers. After praising her work, the man hinted that he had a special present for the employee. That’s when Lydia’s daughter appeared in the restaurant, immediately bringing her mom to tears!

Footage of this sweet moment shows Lydia hugging her child with all her might as her fellow employees applaud the reunion. While this mother couldn’t have looked any happier, the best was still yet to come. Her boss at the restaurant gave her the rest of the day off so that she could spend it with her Marine daughter while she was home!
