96-Year-Old Great Grandpa Discovers Newborn Named To Honor Him | Happily TV

A 96-year-old grandpa wiped away tears of pride when he held his granddaughter's newborn baby for the first time and was surprised to find out the youngster had been named after him. Kailey Blair d’Adesky, from Stuart, Florida, said the bond she shares with her grandparents is "like no other," and she had two bucket list items she always wanted them to be a part of. The first, Kailey said, was to have them to be present at her wedding; while the second was to have them witness her children after they were born. So when Kailey, 30, discovered she was set to welcome a boy – she decided to take things a step further and name him after her grandpa, Ray Snipe, who she calls "Dandad." After her son was born in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Kailey welcomed her grandpa into her hospital room, on April 27. There, Ray held his newborn great grandson, smiling from ear to ear at his family's new bundle of joy. But then, when his granddaughter informed him of the baby's name – Decker Ray d'Adesky – the 96-year-old tried his best to fight back tears of joy.
