When Dad's 60th birthday finally arrived, Galo was taken aback by the party, especially when he spotted his older siblings at the party.
“The second that he walked in, it was, like, immediate tears from everyone in the room,” Stephanie said.
Galo attempted to give a speech. However, he struggled to get it out as he was overcome with emotion. Tears flowed down his face.
At one point, during the party, Stephanie noticed her father huddled with his siblings.
“I look over, and I just see all the siblings huddled, like,” Stephanie said. “And my dad is sobbing.”
