Watch This Man's Joyous Reaction to a Voicemail From His Late Wife That He Thought He Had Lost Forever

Stan Beaton thought the message he had kept for so many years was gone, but 14 years later, it was recovered

Since that Parenthood series finale is tonight, we thought we should get the tears coming early. You know, to adequately prepare you for the onslaught of emotions that the Braverman clan will undoubtedly and relentlessly hurl at you.

So, 68-year-old Stan Beaton from the U.K. lost his wife Ruby to stomach cancer in 2003, and after her death he made sure to keep an old voicemail of hers from 2001 so he could always have her voice.

"I've always resisted changing [phone] companies because whenever I mentioned that my wife's voice was our voicemail message and would it be retained and each company said no, so that's why I never changed," he told BBC Radio Leeds. "Sadly it disappeared. I was absolutely devastated by it, but also extremely angry."

This past December due to an upgrade being done by his phone company Virgin Media, the recording was lost. The company apologized and offered to make donations to Stan's favorite charity, but then they decided to do something even better.

They put a team of 11 engineers on the case, and eventually, they found the 14-year-old voicemail. And Stan's reaction while listening to his wife's voice after thinking he had lost it forever will definitely make you sob uncontrollably. Just a fair warning.

Watch the amazing moment below:

"It's just a wonderful, wonderful sound that I thought was lost forever," he says when he hears Ruby's voice. "I'm staggered at the lengths they have gone to."

Virgin Media is also sending him a CD recording of the voicemail.

Now that your eyes are all warmed up for intense crying, enjoy the Parenthood finale tonight!
