Video: 6-year-old walks to Marine father for first time

LIN - Watch this heartwarming video of a young boy with cerebral palsy as he walks to his dad for the first time. Make sure you have your tissues ready.

"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!"
