Man Re-Enacts Scene From “Elf” While Meeting Father For The First Time
Meeting his biological father for the first time, Doug Henning was understandably nervous. But he found a great way to diffuse the tension.
All his life, Doug had never known who his biological father was. And it turns out his dad didn’t know about him, either.
But a few months ago, Doug made contact with his dad, Raul, through Ancestry.com. They talked back and forth for a while, and then made plans to meet (after some negative COVID tests, of course).
Raul flew to Maine last weekend to spend Thanksgiving with Doug, his wife, and his two daughters. And Doug knew that that first moment at the airport was going to be a big one.
So, to break the ice, he decided to re-enact the scene from “Elf,” where Buddy meets his dad for the first time.
And it was amazing.
What’s better than seeing a family brought together for the holidays?
