This Christmas Family Photo Went Viral For A Beautiful Reason

Though the post-Christmas-feast family picture might be a mandatory (and sometimes dreaded) ritual for many, it can also be a great chance to pass on a message - and this young man named Tyne decided to use it for just that reason.

Tyne and his girlfriend Jamie had been through a heartbreaking tragedy just a few weeks before Christmas when they lost their unborn baby at 20 weeks.

On top of this, the couple received the devastating news that Jamie had antiphospholipid syndrome which caused a clot in the placenta and nourishment of the baby to cease. This meant that carrying any future babies to full-term would be extremely difficult.

As one of six children, who had always dreamt of starting a family of her own, Jamie was devastated. Thinking that she would never be able to have her own children, she gave Tyne the option of walking away to find someone else with whom he could start a family.

But Tyne refused - and began to plan a beautiful surprise for Jamie, which you can see for yourself in the video above!
