Marine Staff Sgt. John
York has been deployed three times, but this last deployment was his first
since his son Bryson was born. He would
be 7,000 miles away. He decided to
celebrate all the holidays he would miss with his son in the precious 10 days of
pre-deployment leave.
The father-son duo went
trick-or-treating together. John went to
every neighbor’s house on the block and he had candy that he handed to them so
they’d be ready when his son rang the doorbell.
Santa came early with
wrapped gifts delivered under a decorated Christmas tree and for his 4th birthday,
which the two celebrated early, he got a brand new bike.
Although enjoying the holidays early was an amazing treat for
their little boy, having a video keepsake of those moments was an even better
treat for John.
The father and son have a bond that John’s wife Priscilla says
she’d “never be able to match.”
