What gets me is when he asks her if she wants to be let down, and she says no. So precious.

[@alexanderpytko5394]

She just doesn't want to stop hugging him or to let go of him. Shows how much she loves him and how much she missed him.

[@Alter_Dan_K]

"You want me to let you down?" "No!" :( That's cute

[@dkeith15]

That was the point my heart ripped and melted.

[@losangeleskingsfan4life822]

Dan K That was so cute! 😭 I'm sure that had a very difficult time getting on a coat on her after knowing her hero came home safely. 😊 Welcome Home!

I remember being at this assembly and my principal that was the best school ever

[@safeysmith6720]

When he asked if she wanted to be put down, the way she answered is what got me. That brought tears to me.

[@beatrizcalkins9867]

This is so beautiful. I just never understand why the dads are always in a hurry to stop hugging or to let them down. Always let the kids decide when they're ready to stop hugging! They feel deeper. Don't let go until they do!

[@RBowsher21]

My sweet niece was so excited to see her daddy!!! This brings me to tears!!!

Truly Very touchy and valuable. I had been in the same boat numerous occasions, every time meeting again is unforgettable. The hardest time is the departure moment.

Kids can be mean, I've always wondered if the kid who had the surprise reunion with his or her's parent were made fun of because they cried in front of their classmates. I hope not but like I said kids can be mean.

She's definitely 'daddy's girl'...This was 8 years ago so I take it she's now about 15..I wonder how they're doing?..

someone help, second grade, how old would that make any of the kids ( I am not American for the idiots who think I am just stupid, we have primary 4-10/11 and secondary 10/11 - 15/16, yes there is pre-school too which I believe Americans call kindergarten but the ages might not match up as we have a different education etc )

I know it was likely rigged for the little girl to win but can you imagine if one of the other students had won?

[@Jailbreakhaxorz]

What if the other kid got it (i know it was scripted) but some kid just fucks up the box

[@jenks59]

Would of been really awkward if someone else had won...

Quinn Jenkinson No cause before they played the principal told the others to purposely lose so she would win and don’t say I’m wrong cause I was there
