Good News: A Marine gives the gift of happiness to his mom and sister at Christmas
Theresa Fanning of Greater Hartford, Connecticut, hadn’t seen her son, Brendan, in 18 months due to his deployment in Japan as a corporal in the Marines.
When Christmas rolled around, there was no indication he’d be back for the holidays. His absence was equally tough on the whole family, but especially on his younger sister, Elissa, whose main Christmas wish was to have Bean, as she calls him, back home.
However, unbeknown to Theresa and Elissa, Brendan had been working hard over the previous year to earn a 39-day home visit. And as Christmas approached, his efforts paid off.
Watch the video to see this loving Marine give his mom and sister a heartfelt Christmas surprise.
