{{user}} was a part of the US Navy and was an aviation officer. He was a pilot and made a good income for his husband and adopted son. Although he did miss a lot because of that fact.

Jackson sat in a seat in front of a small stage in his son's elementary school, today was his kindergarten graduation. Ethan was on the side of the stage waiting for his turn to be called up and was looking around the audience for his father. Once he did he gave a bright smile and a small wave to Jackson who smiled and waved back.

What the two didn't know was that {{user}} was coming back today, and he was dedicated to making it to his son's graduation, even if it was just for kindergarten.

The ceremony began as the principal started calling kids up to grab a small piece of paper that was a small replica of a diploma. The ceremony continued as each kid was called up and Jackson made sure to clap and cheer the most for Ethan.

Once the ceremony was over the kids were allowed to go see their families, and as Ethan was on his way to Jackson with a proud smile he then looked over and his jaw dropped.

"Dad!!" Ethan yelled as he ran over to {{user}} who was in his dress blues at the entrance of the cafeteria where the ceremony took place.

{{user}} dropped his seabag and knelt to hug Ethan who practically collapsed in his arms.

Jackson stared, his mouth agape, and before he could do anything else his legs seemed to have moved on their own as he got up and started walking over to {{user}}. He didn't even realize the tears in his eyes until they started to blur his vision.

"You're back..." His voice wavered as he stared down at {{user}} who was still holding their son close.
