Airman Sister Runs To Surprise Sister Off School Bus

An excited Airman ran down the driveway of her family home to surprise her little sister when her school bus pulled up. Iylani Beltran, 19, from McHenry County, Illinois, has a tightknit relationship with nine-year-old sister, Princess, so the four months Ilyani had been away home had been extremely tough on the siblings. The 19-year-old first moved to San Antonio, Texas, to attend bootcamp with the U.S. Air Force, before heading to Virginia for a further two months in tech school. During that time, Iylani looked forward to one day returning home to see Princess and her other siblings – Aliyah, 18, Jordyn, five, and baby Kamryn, who was just one month old and Iylani had never met. And so, when she completed tech school and got the news she could have leave before heading to her final duty station, she knew she wanted to surprise her siblings. Having been collected from Chicago O’Hare Airport on September 24, Iylani then waited at the family house for Princess to come home on her school bus. As soon as the big sis saw Princess arriving, she ran down the drive and gave her sister a huge, emotional hug the pair had waited months for. The wholesome moment was captured on video by Iylani’s bonus mom, Meagan, 35, who then recorded a series of reunions with Iylani’s other siblings, as well as photos of her first meeting with baby Kamryn.
