"Daddy, when are you gonna rub your beard on him like you do to me" Thank you for including that in this video Granger! That was so cute and instantly made me smile and brought happy tears to my eyes. I remember my dad doing that same thing to me when I was little. I lost my dad suddenly and unexpectedly a couple years ago and those memories are what I remember and cherish the most. Congratulations to you and Amber!!

Yes that’s what I’ve been thinking about too how Lincoln had that dream. I remember telling this to my family because I was talking about how I believe in god and everything and I remember me telling them and crying so hard as If river was my own!

I love Lincoln's answer to Granger asking him if he loved him already. "Of course" and the expression on his face. It was just the sweetest.

Don’t worry about the crying. We are crying with you. Our hearts are swollen with joy for you and your family. Little Mav was born on my daughters birthday. It’s funny because as she was growing up I called her my little maverick because of her personality. I loved the end of the video of the silhouette of the family that now has Granger holding little Mav! God bless you all!

Can I sweetly say, this is a beautiful kind message and comes from a loving place. But please be very, I guess careful, with comments along the lines of a new baby mending a broken heart of a mama who has also lost a baby. If anything a new baby can stir up all the emotions of the one no longer here. As much as I love the idea of a new baby being able to mend a broken heart, nothing really can. If anything we need to be more mindful of all the emotions coming back up to the surface of families who have gone through such a tragic loss. Maybe just something to have in the back of your mind xoxox

I’m a 76 yr. Grandma of 4. I had never even heard of Granger Smith til I saw his recent interview on FOX news. My son and grandson r great country music fans, and of course when I mentioned it to them, they knew. I have since been following your family on u tube. Your faith and trust in God is strong, you have a beautiful family. OnFox you said that you are giving up your career and going into the ministry. Truly this is a calling from God.I have been following your sermons, and I’m certain that you r making a difference in many lives,

So precious!! Lincoln tearing up after telling grandma “Why are you crying?” Amber you look just like your momma! I’m sure it feels bittersweet. God surly has blessed you as He promised.

Yay…Congratulations!!! Glad we’re family in Christ!!! Welcome to the world Mav!!! Love yall

From the first moments after the tragic accident with River, this amazing family confessed God's faithfulness. I heard so many times from them how God will turn a tragic event into something beautiful. This is that something beautiful 😭💙 God bless you all🙏

This 76 year old Great Grandpaw (PaPop) was crying with you! Don’t really know y’all but love all of y’all!!!

Congratulations, Granger and Amber!! Maverick is precious. I love his name too!

Nothing in this world makes my heart happier than seeing a baby born and seeing mom. Most beautiful thing ever. We wish you all the best, may Lord watch over you all and keep you healthy and safe. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

I just found this channel and this special family a few days ago, although I had seen their sad story about River on TV before. I couldn't help but be like them and shedd special tears of joy for little Maverick. Lincoln's reaction to Maverick was so precious and so special. River kept the promise he gave to Lincoln in the dream telling him he would have a little brother soon. God bless this sweet family richly. Love the Smiths!!

The video we've all been waiting for. Congratulations Smiths family. Maverick is so cute. So happy for y'all.

Maverick is fearfully and wonderfully made! What a blessing that sweet baby is. Y'all had me crying throughout the video. So grateful you are sharing your journey with us! I'm continuing to pray for you guys and sending you so much love! The ending silhouette.. Oh sweet Riv...Because of the life you lived.... I know he is looking down on his new baby brother!

I want to love this video a thousand times. I could feel tears welling up watching the end as Amber talked about the joy and the pain coexisting, and then, the new logo with Mav too. I lost it. You guys are a beautiful family. I love how much yall love each other.

My husband and I have fallen so hard in love with your precious family. Anticipating Maverick’s birth was almost as if we were waiting for the birth of our own grandchild. Thank you for your ministry, your love for Jesus, and sharing your story. Your openness and honesty is truly a blessing to so many. We are going to see Granger in concert tomorrow in Bend, Oregon and we are so excited! God Bless. Eric and Letha

Awe Amber, I’m not a crier ever. I did get tears eyed tho. Thinking of Maverick and River. Love ya guys and thank you for sharing your life with us.

Congratulations, May God keep his Blessing coming for your family.

Amber I can’t imagine the emotions sweeping over you. You and your family are so strong. I pray for y’all often and cry when you cry. As a momma myself I know it cannot be easy! Thank you for sharing your life with us and congratulations!

Oh my goodness when he asked Lincoln if he loves him already and he said "of course!" In the sweetest voice ever 😭😭 that was the most adorable thing ever!

Granger Smith, saw you in concert last night in idaho and heard you talking about your new baby. I’m so happy for you all! Much love for you all!

Ah do you love him already? “ of course” what a special event in your lives. He’s beautiful. So happy for you.

So precious knowing that River was the first to see Maverick and hold him. He is now with the little boy you lost. Such a sweet family. He is so very cute. CONGRATULATIONS

Anyone else catch the red silhouette logo at the end change to add the baby? Love it! Congrats guys.

He is SO cute. Congratulations. He looks like London. Your tears got me tearing up. So much love for your children. Beautiful momma and beautiful little baby.

Oh my goodness, he is precious! He looks like London one minute and then looks like Lincoln the next. What joy he is bringing to you all. Amber please get plenty of rest. Sleep when he sleeps. You are such great parents. I cried when Grandmom cried and cried when Amber cried. Maverick was sent from God to your family. Can’t wait to see more of the Smiths. Thanks for sharing. Love and blessings

I can’t imagine the emotional experience this would be. So happy, yet sad. I believe River hand picked his little brother for your family ❤️ such a cutie little Maverick is! Keep up being a good eater and sleeper buddy 😉

Awww Maverick is so cute, congrats
