A teen jumped from her chair to run through her favorite restaurant when she was surprised by her sailor brother.
Kherington Keith, 16, from Cartersville, Georgia, shares an extremely close bond with her big brother Grayson, who serves with the United States Navy.
Having recently graduated from A School in San Diego, Grayson told his sister he didn’t think he’d have time to visit home before reporting for his next duty station in Washington State.
But little did Kherington know that Grayson had been working on a surprise with his family.
