The moment son sees his dad for the first time since lockdown

A grandmother has shared a heart-warming video of a boy seeing his dad for the first time in five weeks since the lockdown.

In the video, Georgie Simmonds, who is nearly two-years old, can be seen playing with toys in his garden near Caerphilly before suddenly spotting his dad.

He runs towards dad Tom Simmonds after looking shocked and delighted.

Grandmother Gillian Simmons from Newport said, "no matter how many times I watch it it still makes me cry".

"We are all suffering being away from family at this extra ordinary time", Gillian added.

"Yesterday my son was able to see his son, Georgie, for the first time since lockdown started five weeks ago. I think the look on both Tom's and George's faces says it all.

"Through all the tough times we are going through, this is something we can all look forward too".

Watch the wonderful moment captured by mum Joanne O'Brien here:

Both Tom and Jo, Georgie's mum, had both been in isolation.

Gillian says Tom works in the financial sector and only very recently been able to work from home.

"He works in quite a crowded office so both decided that whilst Tom was working with so many people it was best for him not to see Georgie in case Tom was carrying the virus".
