Little Boy Reunites With Grandfather After 6 Months Apart

A little boy was reunited with his grandfather after six months apart on October 9. Sheila Guevara, who recorded this video, told Storyful this was the first time her son had seen his grandfather since she moved to Virginia from Houston, Texas.

Guevara explained that her husband was in the Navy and was recently gone for a yearlong deployment. “During that year, my father was his only male role model,” she said. “My dad stayed with my son when he was five months old until he was a year and a half.”

She told Storyful that the two were “inseparable.” Guevara said she was going to college while working and was often away for 12 hours at a time.

“I decided to go home to visit, and I knew my little one was gonna be happy seeing my dad again,” she said.
