Dad opens giant birthday present... and is lost for words when he looks inside

This video of the moment a father opens his birthday/Christmas present is one of the most precious moments we've ever been lucky enough to watch. 

Posted on YouTube by Terra Casey, she explains how she hasn't spent Christmas with her dad in over 25 years. 

"We've seen each other several times in the past decade, but living on opposite sides of the country from each other, I haven't been able to spend Christmas with him since I was four-years-old," she explained. 

However, she had a little trick up her sleeve for one particular festive season and send her dad a very special gift… herself. 

"He thought I was back in my city on Christmas Eve," she continued. 

"I even texted him a picture of 'the view' from my apartment that day (it was outdated…luckily he didn't notice the snow missing from the mountains in the distance.) He had NO idea…

And this is where things get a little emotional.

"My Uncle is the one explaining that this special gift is for my Dad as a combination Christmas and 60th birthday present.

"My Uncle is a two-time cancer survivor and during his second fight for his life, a few years ago, he lost a great deal of his voice due to the radiation, so you'll need to listen carefully to understand what he is saying. Very special that he was able to be part of this moment."

So what was in the box, we hear you ask…! 

Well, it was Terra, of course, and the moment her father realised that he was going to spend Christmas with his daughter was truly one of the most incredible we've seen in a long time.
