As the team and cheerleaders charged into the gym, Aquill emerged from behind them, dressed in his Army fatigues.
Aquill considers his mom a best friend and wanted surprise her, so he asked his aunt a month and a half ago to help put together this surprise for his"momma bear.""It's surreal. It's definitely a surprise. I didn't expect it. I was looking forward to him being home next week," Williamson said. She wasn't the only one surprised.
