Kids Burst Into Tears When They Hear Sailor Dad's Voice For Surprise Reunion After Three Years Apart

A pair of siblings immediately burst into tears of happiness when they heard their sailor dad's voice and realized he was in the room for a surprise reunion after three years apart, living overseas. Quiyon Young, 36, from San Diego, California, had predominately been based in Japan during his time away from his daughters, Laila, 11, and Laci, 9. The two girls were from Quiyon's previous marriage, so they remained in Baltimore with their mom, with who Quiyon still has a strong relationship. Before moving overseas, Quiyon, a chief warrant officer with the United States Navy, was always there for his daughters, who would regularly visit him in San Diego. But when Quiyon was deployed to Japan in January 2022, he was informed that he would need to remain in Asia for at least six months of the year, with his deployments often being while his daughters were on their summer breaks from school. As a result, Quiyon couldn't see Laila and Laci while he was back, as he was still required to travel around the U.S. The separation was extremely tough on the family, with Quiyon calling his daughters on FaceTime daily. But then, at the end of 2024, the 36-year-old received the news that he could finally reunite with his daughters. With Laila and Laci set to visit Quiyon's mom's house for the holidays, their father planned a big surprise with the girls' grandma and his current wife, Ashleigh, 36. On December 20, Laila and Laci sat on a sofa at their grandma's house with their eyes closed, having been told there was a surprise waiting for them. As soon as their father spoke, the pair immediately recognized his voice, bursting into tears before heading in for a hug that had been three years in the making.
