Dad-to-be Cries Tears of Joy After Wife Announces Pregnancy After 17 Years

Every pregnancy news is worth every man’s tear, especially if he’s been waiting for it — just like this dad, who cried tears of joy as his wife announced her pregnancy after 17 years!

A couple in Dinwiddie have been waiting for the day they can finally start their own family after being married for nearly 17 years. Arkell Graves and Dana Griffin-Graves said they were devastated after Mrs Griffin-Graves suffered four miscarriages and a still birth. But, they need not wait any longer as she announced to her husband, the news they both have been waiting for and his reaction was priceless.

What made the announcement more special was that, Mrs Griffin-Graves made sure her pregnancy news was unique by placing the ultrasound photos right next to a package of buns in the oven. Capturing every moment, Mrs Griffin-Graves films her husband, who can be seen peeking into the oven. As Mr Graves turns around and sees the ultrasound, his expression was unparalleled. Watch this:

“It shows that God is able to do any and all things and so I’m grateful and I said if it can help someone else and give them hope that it can happen, then you know that’s what it’s about,” she said.

Aren’t you just happy for this couple?
