“Annie Leibovitz is still scheduling the photo shoot,” she kept saying. I had met Milius outside the Hilton when I asked for a cigarette, and she began to chaperone me around, telling people who eyed my press pass that I was there to profile her as an up-and-coming female director who, she said, had attracted more Amazon streams than any woman ever with her first documentary, a counternarrative about Russiagate. We’re just the last normal people, hanging out at the end of the world.” “Don’t fuck me here,” a dark-haired woman named Amanda Milius said to me-as she somewhat imperiously dealt with a guy at the door who was skeptical about letting a reporter into the party-“and say we’re all in here sacrificing kids to Moloch. These were people who were used to guarding their words. I surreptitiously made a few searches of the name he’d given me and was surprised when I couldn’t find a single plausible hit-though that could have been because he was a hyper-secret crypto type there were some of those floating around. There were jokes, or maybe they were serious questions, about whether one of the guys tagging along with us was a fed. For at least many of the young people, the actual business of conference going seemed to be beside the point, a gesture at how we used to conduct politics back before life in America spun out of control. Mom’s reaction is the best.It was Halloween in Orlando, and we had piled into a car to make a short trip from the Hilton to an after-party down the road, to wind up the first night of the latest edition of a gathering called the National Conservatism Conference.

Watch the sweet and shocking surprise in the video below. Just as they were about to take one more photo, she finally turned around and let out a scream of joy when she saw it was her son standing there all along! ‘The hard part was trying to keep her attention forward’įor mom, it couldn’t have been anything more than a really good photoshop app so the family had to keep her attention forward.

We can hardly blame her for not suspecting anything but that wasn’t the end! Soon they took another photo but mom still didn’t notice that there was an intruder lurking behind them and thought it was an incredibly realistic photoshop app! “Grandma look! Uncle Robin is there!” her granddaughter Quinn said as everyone was urging mom to look at the picture on the phone! “This is a really cool photoshop app,” mom said. Mom thought her daughter was using the app to insert an incredibly realistic image of her son into the photo Little did she know that her son was standing right behind her in his sailor’s suit! Holding a cut out of her son, mom smiled for the camera, thinking perhaps, of how happy she’d be if he was home for Christmas. Everyone – including the restaurant employees – was in on the surprise, except for mom who thought that her sailor son wasn’t going to be home for Christmas. With their surprise planned, it was finally time for the family to gather at Danny’s Restaurant, Big Bear, CA.

They gave her a cut-out that was made of her son, but it was only the beginning of a surprise they had in store for her Hang on, when you hear how creative and well-thought the surprise was, you’ll be delighted! So what’s the catch, you’re probably asking yourself. The family was on weekend a trip to Big Bear Lake in CA in the week before Christmas but unbeknownst to mom, they were planning a surprise for her! It took a while to organize everything properly without her suspecting anything! One mom got a very special surprise for Christmas from her family. Most of us get very emotional watching soldiers reunite with loved ones and it’s always a moment that makes us realize the true importance of family and how much they mean to us. The separation from children comes hardest for parents, of course, so it’s a very special moment when they reunite with their kids. You constantly have to cope with the fear that something might go wrong and you might never see them again. Having a family member overseas is no easy feat.
