After Two Years, Girl's Tearful Reunion With Dad Who Moved Away For Work

A 12-year-old whose dad moved to a new state for work immediately burst into tears when he paid her a surprise visit after more than two years apart. Kaydence Williams' parents – Ashley Richardson, 39, and Davis Williams, 36 – from Trumann, Arkansas, are separated but share a good relationship, and in January 2022, Davis relocated out of State for work. The role, Ashley said, had a probation period, which meant Davis wasn't entitled to any vacation days until he was established in the company. Over more than two years, it was difficult for Davis to get time away, Ashley added, but in September of this year, he reached out to Ashley to say he'd like to make one of his daughter's volleyball games. The previous few years had been tough on Kaydence, who had missed her father, and so Ashley and Davis decided to make the 36-year-old's visit a surprise for their daughter.
