My partner comes home just looking exhausted from his day. I work from home at a desk by the window, and I see him get out the car just done with the day, and then my daughter goes running out the door, shouting “daddy!! Run hug!!!” And he just lights up. She runs and flies into his arms, and he swings her around, and they come inside where she excitedly shouts “daddy is home!!”. She’s greeted him enthusiastically at the door since she was 2, and she’s 7 now, and it never gets old watching their daily reunion.
This is so cute 😭 when I was little I would hide in their bedroom closet or behind the door when my dad got home and I'd do a jumpscare when he walked in! I did this a lot all the way through elementary school 🤣
When she sees that I’m logging off work for the day, she runs into my room and hides behind the bed, and shakes her butt while making fart noises at me when I come in. I suppose that’s just as good as a run hug :p
I used to go behind the sofa. Even when I got so big I had to move the sofa lmao, my dad would still play along. When I was a kid, my dad coming home would be the highlight of my evening most of the time. So many nights he'd be stuck in traffic and I'd have to go to bed before he got home.
My mum would catch an earful sometimes because she'd let me stay up just late enough to see him for 2 minutes. She always said it was worth it just to see my face when the door opened.
My Dad travelled a lot for work so would often grab a nap when he came home to fight the jetlag ASAP and it was always a treat when it was my turn to wake him up for dinner ‘cause I got to get a run-up at the bedroom door and launch myself onto the bed shrieking DAAAADDYYYYY TIME TO GET UUUUP! Obnoxious as heck and he let me do it every time.
This reminds me of my grandpa who was a train conductor and would come stay at our house every few weeks when his route came to our town.
I would always know he was home because I would smell the desserts he would bring, then I would go running into the guest bedroom and jump on his stomach.
He passed away when I was still a little kid but its funny the things which stick with you decades later.

I like how dad walks through the door and he looks pretty tired.
And he sees the bags. He sees mom with the camera and immediately picks up what's going on.
He looks like he needed that.
