Video: 6-Year Old Boy Walks to his Marine Father for the First Time"

Beautiful.  6-year old Michael surprised his US Marine father Staff Sgt. Jeremy Cooney. Michael walked to his dad for the first time when his father returned home from Afghanistan and is greeted by his son who has Cerebral Palsy and is walking!

"When my husband left on his deployment, our 6-year-old son could not walk on his own. He has cerebral palsy. Doctors originally said that he would never walk or do much of anything. While daddy was away, he learned to walk. For his homecoming, we set it up for Michael to walk to his daddy for the first time ever! We kept the fact that he could walk a secret the whole time his dad was gone!"
