Grandpa Breaks Down When Discovering Baby Is Named After Him

A proud grandpa-to-be fought back tears of joy when he saw his twin grandbaby’s name blankets and discovered one of them is named after him. Sarah Groene, from Cincinnati, Ohio, said her father Kenneth has always been her biggest inspiration and supporter. During her childhood, he’d take her to Bengals football games and never missed gymnastics meets, while in adulthood, he’s always been on-hand to help her and her husband with home improvements. So, when Sarah received news she was set to have twins, she knew she wanted to carry on the Taylor surname and add an honorary nod to her father's influence in her life. The 32-year-old decided to flip her father's name and call one of the twins Taylor Kenneth. With the twins due in April, Sarah began work on their nursery in advance, readying everything by the start of February – providing the perfect opportunity to surprise her dad with the naming news. On February 11, the couple invited their parents over, and as Kenneth entered the room, he was encouraged to look at the naming blanket on one of the cribs.
