I was also very pleased to see him paying attention to his other children...

What a great homecoming!

Damn, I've got something in my eye...

I'm sitting here with my eyes tearing up -- & I don't cry easily.

This is such a sweet looking family. I'm glad they have their husband & father back home. His wife is just as much a hero as he is.
