When Sarah and Kevin King decided to reveal their pregnancy, they knew one person who would be over the moon — Granny Rose Bell. They also knew that they couldn’t tell her in just a normal way – it had to be as special as the woman herself was.

After years of gentle nudging and countless hints, Rose’s wish for a great-grandchild was about to come true in the most delightful way. The couple’s creative announcement quickly became a viral sensation, touching hearts across the internet.

Sarah and Kevin, who have been together for eight years and married for four, shared the news with 76-year-old Rose in a manner as unique as her vibrant personality. “She has been asking us for years and we’re like, ‘Wait til we get married,’” Sarah said. “We got married and then she was like, ‘All right, you said when you were married … come on!’”

Understanding Rose’s love for scratch-off lottery tickets, the couple devised a special pregnancy announcement scratch-off ticket just for her. As Rose scratched away, her face slowly transformed from curiosity to pure joy when she realized the message beneath. Her immediate response was to bow her head in prayer, thanking God for this long-awaited blessing.

“It’s a blessing,” Sarah said, reflecting on the moment’s significance. Having lost her own grandmother, Sarah found a “bonus grandma” in Kevin’s family matriarch. For Rose, the news was about more than just the joy of a new life; it was about legacy and faith.

I know that it’s about her legacy,” Sarah said.

The thoughtful couple waited until after their first major doctor’s appointment to share the news with Rose. However, Rose’s intuition was spot-on, as she had already guessed Sarah was expecting. “There’s a baby in there,” Rose said, pointing to Sarah’s belly one day, well before any official confirmation.

Now, with their son in the world, Rose continues to offer wisdom and support, emphasizing the importance of faith. “She always tells me if you don’t do anything else, make sure you show him Christ. Show him who God is,” Sarah shared, taking Rose’s advice to heart.

The decision to share their heartwarming story on social media led to unexpected viral fame. As Sarah prepared to document her motherhood journey, she posted the clip of Rose’s reaction, which resonated deeply with viewers. “Everybody’s saying, ‘Oh, that’s my granny now,’” Sarah said.

One TikTok user commented, “When I say the shift I felt when I seen her face! She’s been praying for this long before she asked y’all for this blessing! Beautiful moment.” Another added, “Granny is going to spoil that baby rotten.”

The outpouring of love for Rose underscored the universal connection to family moments like these. Sarah’s advice to others? “If you have your grandma in your life, make sure to love on them because their days are short,” she said, encouraging everyone to cherish their grandparents while they can.
