Some of life’s most cherished moments are those that take your breath away, leaving you speechless.
We’ve seen countless homecoming videos, and they’re all meaningful in their own way, yet there’s something about the complete silence in the video below that touches a special place in our hearts. It all started when a young man in the Navy decided to surprise his mom with a very special guest.

Stationed in California, this Navy man hadn’t yet had a chance to show off his brand-new baby daughter to his mother, who lives in Missouri. As soon as he got the proper leave, he packed up his little family and flew home for a few days of rest and relaxation, but he decided not to tell his mother they were coming.
The video begins as he explains what’s about to happen, carefully taking the infant out of her car seat. You can just see the joy and anticipation on his young face as he carries his daughter up the walkway to Mom’s house.

As soon as the door opens, the house falls into an eerie silence. All that can be heard is the quiet weeping coming from the young man’s mother! She is utterly at a loss for words as she takes in the beautiful sight of her son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter.
As mom hugs each family member in turns, you can feel the emotion coming off her in waves. She’s so overwhelmed by the visit that it makes us want to surprise someone, too, just so we can make someone feel this way!
