El Cajon preschooler receives surprise homecoming from deployed Navy mom

SAN DIEGO (KUSI) – It was no ordinary Friday at Blossom Valley Elementary School for four-year-old Vanessa Macias. Vanessa had been without her mother, Lindzy Lee McVicker Macias, since August of 2014. Mother Macias is a 25 year old Master at Arms in the United States Navy, and has been on duty in Bahrain. Lindzy was cleared for a special visit Friday, which happened to also be Vanessa’s fifth birthday. 

The surprise reunion proved to be a precious and special moment.
