Heart melting footage shows the moment a father is reunited with his son who has Down Syndrome after a week apart.<\/p>\n

Matt Cobrink, 53, was flown to New York from the home he shares with his father Malcolm, 88, in Los Angeles to meet his favorite baseball player, Aaron Judge of the New York Yankees.<\/p>\n

But the trip meant that Matt would be away from his father for almost a week, for the first time in 25 years, since his mother passed away.<\/p>\n

Matt\u2019s sister Marcy decided to record the moment when they were reunited because she knew how much he missed him.<\/p>\n

Matt is seen rushing down the escalator and sharply turning at the end to greet his father, almost tripping over himself.<\/p>\n

He is clearly overwhelmed with happiness at his seeing his dad, smothering him with dozens of kisses and hugs.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
