In this heartwarming scene, separated mother Laura Dee decided to surprise her two kids at the airport by having their father join them on holiday to Cyprus.

Dee has been separated from her children's father for 8 years but remains on good terms, with both taking their children on holidays separately.

Both Dee and her former partner recognised that the children were pained by this separation at times, and so agreed to do something about it.

So together they decided to surprise the two kids, Darcie, 11, and Callum, 9, with a trip to Cyprus where their father showed up at the airport.

Dee describes her situation that: "As parents seeing our children upset is hard, all we want is to make our children happy. Co-parenting is hard for many people but we are proud of what we have achieved with bringing our children up."

It seems beautiful family moments sometimes happen at the beginning and not the end of a journey.
