After five years of praying, a young boy’s wish for a younger sibling was granted. Carla, the mother, posted a video on TikTok of her son crying because he didn’t have anyone to play with. The mother explains that she was not yet ready to have another child after her son was born, but by the time he was three years old, he would cry every year, requesting a sibling from his mother.

“My son has cried every year since he was three years old,” the video text states. “I was not prepared for another child, but my son prayed every day.” His mother’s heart was broken by his emotional request for a sibling. The boy’s prayer was finally answered five years later. His mother gave birth to a female child. Knowing he now had a younger sibling filled him with joy.

He could be seen in the video holding his baby sister for the first time at the hospital, as well as playing with her at home and at the park. Her big brother is also teaching the little girl to walk. The touching video has been viewed over 3 million times, and comments from all over the internet have poured in. “You blessed her with the best big brother anyone could ever want,” one viewer commented on the video. “My heart!” wrote another. He was born to be a big brother.”
