The heartwarming video quickly made its rounds on the internet. “The next day we woke up and someone said that we needed to check Facebook, the video had been shared 1,000 times and had 20,000 likes. We thought that might be it, but no way: the likes kept coming in!” Haley said. 

It was just as shocking for Brooks to see how many people had witnessed the moment. “I was so in my own, small zone. My only goal was to come home and watch my daughter be born, but it turned into much more than we could have expected,” according to Brooks.
