Sob uncontrollably at this son surprising his mom after a year away in the military

Aww.

There's nothing quite like a surprise entrance after being away from home for a long period of time.

When Femi Opesanmi came home to Columbia, Maryland, after a year abroad serving in the U.S. Military, he made quite the entrance as he surprised his "momma bear" and the rest of the family. Femi's brother Akin took a video of the surprise, and it's since been viewed more that 75,000 times on Facebook.

As the family were chatting in the kitchen, Femi snuck in through the front door and gave his mom the shock of her life.

It's safe to say the family was over the moon at his return!
