Harvey Elemenary second grader Nathan Morphew got his birthday wish.
Nathan was reunited with his mom Friday - a day after he had mentioned to his teachers that he was sad she would miss his special day because she was overseas with the Air Force.
Hope Morphew surprised her son by appearing at the school's PBIS assembly.
Nathan was called up in front of the students to receive a reward. When principal Laurie Pritchard could not find the certificate, it arrived through a special carrier - his mom.
