Navy Dad Comes Home To Newborn Son, Turns To His Wife And Says Four Words Nobody Expected

Military families go through hardship every time their family member goes on a tour of duty. When military personnel get shipped overseas, they must say goodbye to their loved ones, perhaps for the final time.

Knowing that the family may never be reunited again is a challenging circumstance to wrap one’s head around. While they’re away on duty, they must deal with life-and-death situations all while fighting and struggling to get home to see their loved ones again.

And the people left at home don’t have it much easier. They must handle all of life’s challenges alone and without the support of their loved one nearby. While modern technology like video calls have made it much easier for families to stay connected while serving in the military overseas, it is still quite challenging. And the same goes for Lt. Michael Lemmons in the United States Navy.

While Lemmons was overseas, his wife gave birth to their son. But Lemmons was not alone. He was with twenty-seven other crew members who all missed the birth of their babies. They were eager to be released so they could see their family again and meet the new addition to their brood.

In the heartwarming video, watch as Lemmons’s eyes light up when he sees his wife waiting for him on the dock. As soon as he sees her among the crowd, he dashes over to meet her and his newborn baby.

She held their newborn son in her arms. He was tiny, adorable, and amazing.

But before Lemmons could hold back the emotion, he blurted out, “He’s perfect. Thank you.”

Because he was not home with her while she endured the trial of childbirth, he wanted to show his gratitude toward his wife for holding down the fort at home. He understands that it is not easy to raise a family all alone.

When she heard him express his gratitude, tears formed in her eyes and she began to weep. The recognition was all she wanted to here. She knew she was doing a lot while her husband served the country. But her contribution was also quite magnificent although it is not as visible to the outsider.

With their newborn between them, Lemmons and his wife held each other in their arms. Now that daddy had finally come home from his military service, the family unit was united and could work together to strengthen their bonds again.

Because Lt. Lemmons can never stay home for long, he wants to soak up the moments with his wife and newborn son while he can. Because Uncle Sam needs his help very soon and Lemmons is eager to serve his country.

“My husband was aboard the US Bataan when they were deployed for ten 1/2mns. They had around 150 new dads when they got home and from my understanding that wasn’t including the Marines.”

She calls out to her husband: “Hey, come look! Our new neighbor is a real disaster. She doesn’t even know how to wash her laundry properly!” Later, she’s telling all her friends about the neighbor. “I swear, she can’t even wash her laundry right!” Time passes, and once again, the woman sees her neighbor hanging laundry — and, yep, still stained. She ran to her friends to gossip some more, and this time, they decided to see for themselves. They all gathered outside to take a look.

ALL MY RIGHT SHOES KEPT GOING MISSING AT HOME – I FOUND OUT SOMEBODY DID IT ON PURPOSE A few months ago, I married Randy, who has a 6-year-old daughter, Martha. After the wedding, I moved into Randy’s huge house, along with his mom and sister. Everything seemed fine… until two weeks ago, when something really strange started happening. One morning, I went to grab my sneakers for the gym, only to find one of them — the left one. The right shoe? Gone. I searched everywhere: my closet, under the bed, even in the kitchen. Nothing. It happened again when I was getting ready for a meeting. Left shoe? The right one was missing. It wasn’t just one pair — it was happening with every pair of shoes I owned. Every time, my plans were ruined. I was late, scrambling, and completely confused. I asked everyone in the house, but no one had any answers. Then, one day, while I was looking for an old film camera in the pantry, I found a half-open suitcase tucked away. I opened it, and my stomach dropped. Inside were all my missing right shoes. I froze. I knew exactly whose suitcase it was, and I stormed into the living room — only to learn a truth I never saw coming.

All my right shoes kept disappearing, and I was at my wit’s end trying to figure out why. When I finally uncovered the truth, it was about…

I FOUND MY DAUGHTER HAD A GARAGE SALE AND SOLD SOMETHING I CAN NEVER REPLACE I got back from my mom’s house and froze in shock. Right in front of my house was a sight no parent wants to see — my daughter, Miley, running a “garage sale” of my stuff. Precious things, things that meant the world to me. I ran up to her, barely able to speak. “Miley?! What is going on here?” “Hi, Mom!” she beamed, holding up a wad of cash. “Look how much money I made!” That’s when it hit me — Miley had actually sold some of my belongings. My heart dropped as I remembered the one thing that could have brought her “so much money.” “Where’s the precious box your dad gave me?” I asked, my voice shaking. 😳👇

MY FAMILY LEFT MY GRANDMA ALONE AT THE RESTAURANT TO DITCH THE CHECK—TOO BAD THEY MESSED WITH THE WRONG GRANDDAUGHTER For her 85th birthday, Grandma wanted a simple dinner. I planned exactly that—until the family hijacked it. Suddenly, it was a lavish event at the fanciest steakhouse in town. At dinner, they went all out. My cousin Katie posed for pictures, her brother Mark sampled all the expensive drinks, and Aunt Linda loudly recommended “only the premium options.” Then the bill arrived. Aunt Linda gasped. “Oh wow, look at that total…” “I spent all my savings on concert tickets. Live music is important for my mental health,” Katie sighed. “My dog’s vet bills are insane,” Mark added. “We figured you’d cover this one,” Uncle Joe said and turned to me, grinning. “You work at the bank, have no kids, live alone. What else are you spending money on?” And then the guilt trip—”It’s for Grandma. We might not have many more of these.” Oh. What a plan. I smiled. “Let me take care of something and we’ll get back to this,” I said and walked off. When I returned, the table was empty—except for Grandma, clutching her purse and looking scared. “Where’d everyone go? They said they’d be right back. Are we okay? Is everything paid for? I can cover some if I need to, sweetheart… I don’t have much with me but I’ve been saving up…” I hugged her. “Don’t worry, Grandma. Everything’s under control.” We finished our meal while the staff handled the rest. The next morning? My phone was blowing up. ⬇️See More
