Navy son surprises mom in business meeting after 2 years apart

When Nakesha Brown sat down for a boardroom meeting at her office in Atlanta, Georgia, she had no idea the presentation was orchestrated to share a moving surprise for her.

Nakesha's son, Ezekeil, is a Gunner's Mate in the U.S. Navy. He's been stationed on the other side of the country, in San Diego, California, and has been away from his family for about two years. He decided to make a surprise return by sitting right across from his mom in the meeting.

With her colleagues in on the plan, the speaker at the front of the room began talking about "service": "There are people who are important to you, and there are people who really matter, and sometimes they're sitting right across from you and you don't even know it."

Watch this mom's pure joy when she finally realizes her son has returned home after two years
