Military Dad Surprises Daughter At Mahwah School
For a Mahwah girl, the season will be a little brighter now that her father, a military service member, will be spending the holidays home.
MAHWAH, NJ – Military deployments can be hard for families – especially during the holidays.
But for a Mahwah girl, the season will be a little brighter now that her father, a military service member, will be spending the holidays at home. On Thursday, First Sgt. Kevin Morse walked into an assembly at Betsy Ross School to deliver the news to Annabel Diamond, who thought her dad would be stationed in Qatar.
CBS2 reported that “at the last second,” Morse learned he’d be able to return home, which prompted Diamond’s teacher, Lori Bregman, to arrange the surprise.

The teacher said, “It was amazing, it was wonderful and beautiful to think finally they could spend time together again because it’s been so long that they’ve been apart.”
After the reunion, Morse said, "It made me feel really good, really happy."
