Mom shrieks with glee after surprise homecoming at grocery store

A mother who went out to grab some groceries got the surprise of her life in the middle of the store.

Her son, a military service member, returned from his post in Germany and showed up at the supermarket.

He'd been away from his family for two years. The pandemic made it difficult to travel and prevented visits home.

When he came around a corner, his mother gave a loud scream full of joy and dropped to her knees at the sight of her son after so long.

Watch the tearful reunion in the video above.

It's so sweet, we might just need a cleanup of our own tears on Aisle 5!
