A first-time grandfather broke down in tears during a surprise meeting with is first grandchild, who he had waited 10 months to meet. Due to a combination of the coronavirus pandemic, cross-country separation, home moves and military duties, Mike Priebe, 53, had to wait longer than most to finally hold his granddaughter, Riley McLelland. Riley was born on July 27, 2019, at the Lejeune Naval Hospital, in Jacksonville, North Carolina, and due to her father’s military duties, Riley's family then moved to their current home in California. Having set up a new life there, Mike’s daughter Haley McLelland, 22, and her husband, Cameron, 22, who is in the Navy, were itching to get back to Ohio, where they both grew up as high school sweethearts. But due initially to Cameron's military duties and then, around March, the outbreak of the coronavirus across America, the couple could not get back to their hometown, where Mike still lives. But, come May, with it safe to travel and Cameron given permission to do so, Haley arranged for a surprise trip to her grandmother’s home in Strongsville, Ohio – roughly 2,000 miles from where they now live. Working with her grandmother and aunt, Haley had a friend pick her up and snuck around her grandmother’s home, where she placed Riley on the porch in her carrier. Then, as Mike was about to head out through the screen door, Haley started recording the emotional moment. First, Mike looked at the baby in shock, before eventually picking her up and crying uncontrollably during the embrace.
