His wife died 20 years ago and he’s been asking for grandkids since the wedding. His reaction is great. [The Reveal To Grandpa](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2sM7tzILeE&feature=youtu.be) ---

I have a tear in my eye, too. 🙂 True story: my parents really, really wanted grandkids, but with no luck: neither of my brothers nor I had any, and we were getting on (I was the youngest, at 38). My wife and I were trying for kids, but did not tell them, so as to not get their hopes up. Little did I know that my oldest brother was doing the same … So, we get the news, and it was three months on, so we decided to call my mom and give her the announcement. Turned out my brother and his wife had called my mom _that same day_ with the same announcement! The two cousins were born two weeks apart. 😃 My mom thought we were pranking her at first! ---

OK, OK, OK, I’ll do the dusting now! As soon as I can see clearly again…
