Dad Breaks Down When Airman Daughter Returns Home After 3 Years To Surprise Him On Birthday

A dad celebrating his birthday broke down in tears when his military daughter walked in the door to surprise him after three years apart. Derrick "Bone" Kimble, from Oakland, Mississippi, had not seen daughter Bree Danner, 27, a Senior Airman in the U.S. Air Force, in person for three years. Bree will be joining her husband, who also serves in the Air Force, in Hawaii later this year, but was able to visit home in July around on her dad’s birthday party – so she decided to plan a surprise. On July 13, she walked towards her grandmother, Jean Kimble, 70, who took a second to realize who was approaching her home before Jean darted across her front yard to embrace Bree. Bree then went to surprise her dad, and after leaving him open-mouthed and speechless, he quickly retreated to another room to gather himself but was unable to hold back his tears. As his emotions started getting the better of him, his daughter told him ‘happy birthday’ before going in for a long-awaited hug as the pair were finally reunited after so long.
