This dad gets incredible welcome from his little one when he returns home, and it makes him give up his FIFO job!

The family is the fundamental unit of life. Their love and support help us get through all of life’s obstacles. Being away from family for a long time is really difficult. But occasionally, events and obligations at work get in the way. Another man was away from home, and his toddler was a former scaffolder who worked in Australia’s fly-in, fly-out (FIFO) sector. He recently had the opportunity to see his young daughter and return home. The poignant internet reunion between the two warmed hearts.

The father, who uses the handle @scaffdad3 on TikTok, posted the heartfelt moment for everyone to see. He frequently shares videos of his daughter at various phases of her life, showing how they always get back together when he returns home after a protracted separation. Because he is a FIFO employee, he cannot go home until his workday is complete, which forces him to stay in remote areas for multiple days at a time. But one time, his tiny daughter was waiting for him by the front door when he got home from work.

It didn’t take his daughter long to go up to her father and give him a big hug after she burst into a mix of laughter and tears. The dad crouched down to envelop her in his arms as the caption read, “It was the day he decided to give up his FIFO job.” As his father scoops her up, the young child grins broadly and gives him another hug. The video garnered over 17 million views and thousands of comments. @ella_return2roots revealed, “My dad spent forty years working FIFO. I liked to imagine him shocking us when he came home, especially when I would stroll home from school.

“Surely this isn’t worth missing out on,” said @maegen.lyn. That’s not worth the FIFO! It’s pleasing to see you and your child at home.” “I saw my mother less than 100 times a year for five years when I was a teenager because she had filed for divorce,” @vada_sincere said. Although I hated her absence growing up, I now know why.” @trinaaf70 commented, “A portion of me yearns to hear that delightful laugh repeatedly; however, I am uncertain if my heart can sustain it.” What a lovely time. “I think I’ve sobbed with her about ten times.”
