A father had a tearful reunion with his daughter days after he acted as a living donor for the 3-year-old girl.
Michael Wagner greeted his daughter Phuoc with, “Hey mon belle,” or, “Hey, my beauty,” in a video posted to the family’s Facebook page. The reunion occurred just five days after he donated part of his liver to the child.
