A grandfather took an unexpected and heartwarming detour as a family arrived excited to meet a newborn baby.

Children are among the best ways the Lord blesses our lives. They will forever positively change and impact your life in every way imaginable. There is nothing quite like being a parent. Watching a youngster grow, learn and explore will fill you with immeasurable joy and contentment.

Everyone loves children, especially babies. Look at how people flock to newborns. Immediately after a child is born, many visitors, even people you haven’t seen in years, will visit and parade through the hospital room. Then, they all quietly await their turn to hold the young one.

That is the typical behavior of people after a child has been born. However, some people will become so concerned and consumed with the newborn and not the woman who had just given birth to the baby. They badly want to see the child that they forget about the exhausted mother whose body has just gone through a physically and mentally demanding ordeal.

A sweet video posted on social media shows that not everyone forgets about the mother after a child has been born. The clip begins with text explaining that a baby girl has just been born and shows a family excitedly rushing into the room to see the child.

However, one person, the grandfather, makes a detour. Instead of running up to the infant, he heads over to the hospital bed to see his baby, his daughter, who has just given birth.

After sneaking a peak at the child as he walks by, the grandfather comes over to his daughter and gives her a big, loving and warm embrace.

Yes, the birth of a child is exciting. It’s a new life that the Lord has brought into the world. However, let’s not forget those women who helped bring in those little miracles.

What a sweet, special and tear-jerking moment between father and daughter.
