Military families face immense challenges each time a loved one is sent abroad. Saying farewell, maybe for the last time, is a painful reality for a lot of families.
The thought of possibly never seeing each other again is a frightening one. While on duty, military personnel have to make life-or-death decisions and keep track of the days until they can return home. Their families also have difficulties, managing day-to-day challenges without the support of a close one. Even with modern techniques like video calls, staying in contact while serving overseas may still be difficult.
This also happened to US Navy Lt. Michael Lemmons. While he was serving abroad, his wife gave birth to their son. Lemmons told this tale to the other twenty-seven crew members who had not witnessed the birth of their children. When they got back, they could not wait to greet their new family.
In a heartwarming video, Lemmons’s face smiles when he finds his wife waiting for him on the dock. He rushes to her side and finally gets to see his newborn child. She is hugging their adorable little child.
Overcome with emotion, Lemmons bursts out, “He’s perfect.” I am appreciative. He wanted to express his gratitude to his wife for supporting him during the difficult time of giving birth and for keeping the home well-run. He understands the challenges of being a single parent.
When his wife heard his heartfelt comments, she began to cry. She felt valued for everything she had accomplished, even while her spouse was serving the country. Her efforts were obviously significant, even though they weren’t as obvious.
Lemmons and his spouse cradled their infant in their embrace. Their family was complete now, and at last their relationship could heal. Knowing he wouldn’t have this much time to spend at home and that he would soon have to serve again, Lemmons relished spending time with his wife and new kid.
On YouTube, comments were encouraging regarding Lt. Lemmons’s touching reunion.
One reader said, “My husband was aboard the US Bataan when they were deployed for ten and a half months.” About 150 new fathers had been born to them by the time they got back home, and that figure did not include the Marines.
What do you think of the heartfelt reaction this Navy father had when he saw his newborn son?

While fixing a dirt bike on the side of the road on August 1, Lucas and Nicole Shoffner, two off-duty deputies from the Anderson County Sheriff’s Office, were hit by a car. Raymond Surber, a deputy of the Campbell County Sheriff’s Office, was operating the car. Through Facebook, the Anderson County Sheriff’s Office has asked for prayers for the injured cops.
Matt Fagiana, a former Loudon County policeman, revealed that Lucas bravely saved Nicole by pushing her aside, despite suffering serious injuries. Fagiana said, “You got this Lucas, and we are behind you and Nicole every step of the way,” characterizing Lucas as “kind, loyal, funny, and resilient.”
Lucas has severe brain injuries and is in a medically induced coma at the UT Medical Center’s Transplant Intensive Care Unit. Lucas’s former employer, the Loudon County Sheriff’s Office, offered their support by stating, “Lucas, everyone at LCSO is pulling for you!”
Nicole announced on Instagram that Lucas is moving out of critical care after 40 days, which is a positive development. “We begin our chapter of healing today,” she declared. The narrative highlights the bravery and sacrifices made by law enforcement.
