His daughter drove from Camp Lejeune in North Carolina all the way to Southwest Florida to spend Christmas with her dad. “This is my only opportunity to have a surprise Christmas with him,” Cpl. Burow told WINK News. Corporal Angelina Burows thought her dad saw her as she was walking down the concourse, but, he didn’t realize the marine dressed in her uniform was his daughter. “I was like ‘dad, it’s me. It was funny.” After a couple of hugs, one of the first things the two did, was compare shoes! “We are going to have father, daughter time we never got to have. It’s never too late.” This is the very first Christmas father and daughter will spend together. “26 years, my whole life, my first Christmas with him.” Family issues split them up when she a baby and they just met a year ago. “I was so excited, I was trying not to speed to get here.” Cpl. Burows says her dad has been text messaging her– saying he wishes they could spend Christmas together. “I was saying, I know, I know, my unit isn’t gong to let me go.” And now, a Christmas miracle has come true!
