A 7-year-old boy recently got the best birthday gift he could've ever asked for when his dad surprised him by coming home from deployment.
Brady Stainbrook was sad and disappointed to have to celebrate his July 21 birthday without his father. "All my friends kept asking, 'Hey buddy, what do you want for your birthday?' And believe it or not, he just kept saying, 'All I want is for my daddy to come home,' " his mom, Rhianna said
Of course, the little guy didn't know his wish about to be granted–which is what makes the reunion between the father-son duo, seen in the video below, all the more heartwarming.

Five days after his birthday, Brady's dad Matt Steinbrook, a staff sergeant with the Air Force, returned home without alerting the 7-year-old or his little sister. While Rhianna drove to pick him up, the children stayed over a friend's house for the night. So when they came home and Brady's mom told the young boy he had a present waiting in his front yard, neither had any clue as to what it could be.
Cue their complete and total shocked reactions when their dad pops out of the huge, wrapped box! Both kids quickly run over to give their dads a hug, but you can tell each of them, especially little Brady, are just stunned. Haha!
Aww, how adorable is that?! These homecoming videos always bring a tear to me eye and this one is no different. I'm just glad that Brady got to spend some quality time with his dad for his special day. It might have been a little belated, but I would say it was definitely well worth it in the end!
