This Army mom wasn't going to miss her daughter's graduation for anything
Moms always seem to go that extra mile. But in the case of Chief Warrant Officer Trina Sisk, it took 7,200 miles to give her daughter the ultimate graduation gift.
Jai Sisk was sitting in a restaurant and as far as she knew, her mom was on the other side of the world. As an officer in the Army National Guard, Sisk was deployed to Kuwait in support of Operation Spartan Shield.
Jai smiled, and sometimes teared up, as she watched the touching congratulatory video message her mom sent her. Sisk wanted her daughter to know how proud she was, since she would not be there to see Jai graduate in person... or so Jai thought.
“Though I’m not there with you in person, know that I am always there,” Sisk told her daughter in the video message, which included photos of her daughter throughout the years.
As the video ended, someone draws Jai’s attention to a person standing just a few feet away … her mom.
