Every parent with adult children understands how special it is to have all their kids back together in one place. In North Carolina, one thankful mom experienced this joy when her two sons, both in the military, surprised her with their return home after almost ten years apart.

Taylor and Randy Evans, who have been serving in the U.S. Army away from their hometown, reunited with their family, including a younger sister, over the recent Memorial Day Weekend.

Taylor, who is a specialist in the Army, and Randy, who spent eight years overseas, had not come home together since 2015. However, when Randy relocated closer, Taylor organized a surprise homecoming with the assistance of their grandmother.

Their mother, Leslie, a cosmetologist, was at work giving their grandmother a hair treatment when the two soldiers surprised her. Shortly after, their younger sister, Lauren, arrived and initially didn’t recognize Randy. When she finally did, her emotions surged.

Later, the brothers also surprised their dad, Clay, at his workplace, creating a joyful reunion for the entire family.
