Quite simply the best reaction to impending grandfatherhood you’ll ever see
A pregnancy in the family is usually good news, and there are several possible reactions, but this is definitely the best one we’ve seen. Be ready to wipe away a tear.

Let’s unpick this a little –
Firstly, what a brilliant way to make the announcement – and on Father’s Day!
Secondly, if you didn’t feel a bit gritty in the eye area when he hugged that toy like it was his grandchild-to-be, what kind of a monster are you?
People love Crystal‘s emotional clip, and this is what they’ve been saying.
He held the bear better than I held back the tears https://t.co/ShkZYsihPK

The way he hugged that bear- that man knows how to be a great daddy/granddaddy.

It turned out that the man himself has a Twitter account.
Thank you for the great comments. I was truly surprised and happy. I couldn’t have asked for a better Father’s Day gift.
