Alan and Tiffany experienced a loss no hopeful parents should ever face. In October 2014, the couple lost their baby at nine weeks. They’d been trying to conceive again after welcoming their first son, Aiden, into the world.

What made it even more difficult is the fact that Alan is a member of the U.S. Navy. Following the loss of their baby, Alan was stationed on the USS Ronald Reagan.

After a month of being underway, Tiffany and Aiden couldn’t wait to see him again. Tiffany brought her camera along to film her husband’s homecoming, but of all the times she welcomed Alan back home, this one was particularly special.

Tiffany had some news to deliver, and dressed Aiden in a T-shirt to reveal it in a creative and heartwarming way. Yes, Alan’s surprise was printed on his adorable son’s clothing.

It’s a secret Tiffany had been keeping from Alan for two whole weeks. Even though they’d been staying in touch and updating one another on their day-to-day lives for weeks, Tiffany left out one very vital piece of information.

When she points out the message upon Alan’s return, he becomes so overwhelmed with emotion that he breaks down right there in the parking lot.
