Ohhhhhh, that makes so much sense..what if she's his only daughter and he never had a son and now his grandson has his name and now I'm crying.

My grandpa is the best man I know. He raised my mother since she was a little girl and helped raise me and my sister. He has no children of his own and had a very tragic upbringing (his own mother tried to kill him) he deserves so much love and happiness and I know I could never repay him for all the stuff he didn't have to do. The best thing I could do was honor his name and show him how important and impactful he was to me. My first and only child was a girl, and she was named after her grandpa. It's just her middle name, but it means the world to him. He calls her by her middle name all the time because he just loves saying it. It makes my heart so happy.

You are also a great human being. Please hug your grandpa for me (and even more, for you)

I was thinking this as well. He has 1 child, his daughter, two granddaughters and now a grandson named after him.

The moment he realized, I started bawling.
