 TAMPA (WSNN) – Two Hillsborough County boys get the surprise of their life when a military family member returns home from their deployment.

After being overseas for six months with the Air Force, mom, Ebony Bailey, came to Tampa Heights Elementary to surprise her son, Jewelz Williams, who is in first grade.

Jewelz and his uncle, Andre, who is also in first grade, didn’t know the interview they had at school was just a setup for Ebony to make her grand entrance.

A sweet and happy reunion for the family.

“I’m just happy to be here,” Ebony said. When a reporter asked how much she missed them, she replies, “Very much, words can’t describe how much.”

As a tear falls down her face, she said she was just happy.

Bailey said while it was difficult being away from her family, she felt it was the right time to serve her country.

Thank you for serving our country, Ebony!
