DOG The Bounty Hunter's daughter Cecily reunited with brother Garry after a year apart as they both continue to struggle with mom Beth's death.

Their beloved mom, Beth Chapman,
"I flew to Chicago from Hawaii, it was a nine hour flight and then I took a train six hours to Michigan - it's a long journey," Cecily told The Sun.
"I want to give Garry Boy my motherly touch, go cook him some food, clean up his house a little bit, just show him some love.
"It's the first time I've seen Garry since our mom's funeral.
"It's been so long, it'll be the first time we've had one-on-one time for a while, and the first time I've stayed at his house.
"It's exciting - big sissy's in town!"
Garry has been living on his own in Michigan for the past few months where he now works as a sheriff.
His last post on Instagram was a poignant message to his mom for her birthday, where he wrote: "Some days I’m up. Some days I’m down. Some days I turn and look for you with thoughts I’d like to share.
"Some days I wonder what you would think or say. Some days I struggle to go on just wishing you were here. Most days I spend in gratitude that you were ever here.
"Miss you momma, happy birthday."
His dad, reality star - real name Duane Chapman - he and his new fiance were of his son on Instagram earlier this year.
Sharing a picture of the 19-year-old riding a horse, he wrote: "Francie and I love you Garry Boy, and we're so proud of you."
He captioned the snap: "No matter how bad things are, just keep going; keep the same past, don’t let anything get in your way."
Cecily meanwhile has spoken openly about her difficulties after her mom's death - previously
But she decided to take a trip to cheer herself up - to see her brother and work on her .
Cecily and Garry have spent their time together sight seeing, hanging out and catching up.
"I hope he appreciates it because I don't belong in the cold - and it's freezing here," Cecily joked.
"I'm loving it though. It's the first time I've left the island [Hawaii] in a while and it feels good to have some fresh air, I've been so cooped up in the house.
"I needed to get away and have a break and get some life into me - and see my little brother.
"We are very close and we keep in touch but haven't managed to see each other in a while because he moved and I moved and now we are all settled I took it upon myself to make the trip.
