In a touching display of love and connection spanning generations, a daughter paid tribute to her cherished father by bestowing her newborn son with his name. TikTok user, @hairbycarlyk, shared the wholesome moment wherein she revealed to her father that her baby boy was named after him. The caption reads, "One of the most special moments of my life," along with the details of the newborn and the memorable name given to him, "Lawson Leonard Kriser," with "Leonard" being her father's name. The healthy baby was born at 7:55 in the morning, weighing 7 pounds and 20 inches long. It is evident that this act of naming her son after her father holds great significance and emotional value for both the daughter and her father.

At the beginning of the video, we see the door open into the hospital ward and the woman's dad excitedly skipping into the room to meet his grandson. The daughter is happy to see her father and they both embrace. She hands over the baby to him, and he is in awe of the newborn, saying, "Oh my god! I can't believe it." Grandfather and grandson are then seen relaxing on the sofa in the room when his daughter comes up to him to share the birth certificate details and, more specifically, her decision to name the baby after him. These details, combined with the chosen name, serve as a testament to the love and thoughtfulness that went into this decision

She reveals, "It's Lawson Leonard Kriser." Hearing this, the father is stunned and asks, "Are you serious?" He continues to be in a state of shock and disbelief as his daughter embraces him and he breaks down into tears. She affirms, saying, "Yup. That's his name, Dad. Lawson Leonard. How cute is that?" The father continues to shed tears of joy while holding the baby and looking around at everybody.
