Watch the Surprise on This Boy's Face When His Military Mom Surprises Him at Sea World

Surprise military homecomings are nothing new, but they consistently make us feel emotional — especially when the surprise takes place somewhere special — you can always feel the family's joy.

Seargant Aixa Rodriguez of the United States Military surprised her son Aiden by coming home from her first term in Afghanistan early and had 5,000 people to welcome her back — the audience of a show at Sea World.

At Sea World, a place Sgt. Rodriguez frequented with her son, there are often military salutes before shows. She called her mom to tell her that her term was going to be over a bit earlier and that she wanted to try to surprise Aiden.

Luckily, her mom and Sea World pulled through, and Aiden was beyond excited. Of the surprise welcome, he said, "I thought I was picking her up from the airport on Monday, but she tricked me!"

Watch the emotional reunion between mother and son and be prepared to feel a bit weepy.
