Alice Brown could not have dreamed that her fantasy of seeing her father, a marine stationed in Afghanistan, would come true as she stood in front of the well at Disneyland in California.

Alice’s mom captured this touching moment when her daughter made a wish next to Snow White.
“I want Dad to come home with all my heart,” the girl said, closing her eyes.

The girl opened her eyes after expressing her wish to see her father, Lieutenant Scott Brown, kneeling by her.
“Liz was very worried about her father’s long absence because she is her father’s daughter,” her mother explains.
Alice and her 14-month-old brother, Liam, have been holding a plastic doll with their father’s photo on it since his departure.
