She  hadn ’ t seen him since August 2016 and wasn ’ t expecting to see him for the holidays   after a previously planned trip to visit him overseas in October didn ’ t pan out . " Tre ’ Vaughn has always been my rock so it was just very   very   very emotional  " the shocked mom told ABC News about the moment she laid eyes on him at her parents ’ home in Jacksonville   Florida . " I literally thought I was going to have a heart attack . I couldn ’ t breathe . I couldn ’ t believe he ’ s here ."  Rekita Lee  To really cover  his  tracks   Tre ’ Vaughn Lee had made up a story that he was being sent on an important training missing to a new location that would help advance his Marine Corps career . He told his worried mom he wouldn ’ t have time for many phone calls while in this new location due to his rigorous schedule . " He didn ’ t want to tell me many details because he didn ’ t want me to be nervous  " she explained . Not even his grandparents knew he was coming home until he rang their doorbell before his mom arrived . “ Her reaction was so much more than I thought  ” said the proud Tre ’ Vaughn Lee . “ I expected crying   but I didn ’ t expect the big scream .” Courtesy Rekita Lee His mom is over the moon to have him home for Thanksgiving and through December 4 . " I just really   really needed that . It ’ s been rough  " she said . " Holiday time   I never do good around holiday time because I think it should be a happy time . I don ’ t complain too much because I am thankful for a lot   but I ’ ve also had a lot of roadblocks in my life ."  Courtesy Rekita Lee  " He ’ s such an awesome kid  " she added . " I could not be more proud of  him  ."
