How very gratifying. The girl is a fighter and won.

Powerful words

Heartbreaking

So glad this was shared

Why can't I upvote this more? The world needs more people like this brother. This mother. This sister. We need- NEED- now more than ever to know we are one world, one family. We have the technology and money and power to fix these problems, but we focus on the wrong things.

wow, woooowwwwww.............

..."never, ever give up"...

Thank you for telling us this story.

I don't believe in guardian angels....but this....

Well said. My grandfather is a doctor-veteran who cries every time he loses a patient. He takes flowers to the graves of some of his patients.

I am very sorry, but I can't continue reading these because I can't stop crying. They are all amazing stories, and it's a bittersweet reminder that we should all live the best life that we can, because we never know when it ends.

My grandma died of stage 4 lung cancer, though she never smoked, when I was 8 years old. I think of her everyday, my best friend, and am grateful for the doctors. They said she would inevitably die soon, but lived for another 8 months. Thank you doctors!

They really need to stop making someone work for 32hrs. It might be dangerous for patients, nevermind for doctor/resident.

Sometimes we just don't know how lucky and fortunate we are

Wow.

Agreed. I'm a hospital registrar in the emergency room. The last thing I do is place an ID bracelet on the patient, lightly grasp their hand, and reassure them. It isn't much. Sometimes, it makes a difference.

I'll never understand how parents can be so cruel. When you're pregnant, it's "I don't care if it's a boy or a girl so long as they're healthy." And then they drop their kids like trash when they can't handle something. Parents like that should be ashamed of themselves and never allowed a moment's happiness.

Oh my god, holy. Big hug to you and your son.

Aww❤️

Special people.

I think because of character limits, they skipped a comma, but I read that several times like "dad had shot your mom" and "your brother wounded your sister" as if the dad and one child had both gone crazy. Had to read it a couple times to get it right.

So true.

And this one made me cry the most.

I can't read these anymore. I'm sitting in a Starbucks trying my best not to cry. I'll finish them at home where I can let my tears flow.

you are a wonderful--you made such a huge difference

this was eyeopening,it is not like i do not know this but i very seldom include you when i think of the bravery of medical workers, i forget how special the work that you do is so thank you! you matter, thank you for saving this lives.

my heart just broke

thank you for remembering...

each one is just as powerful as the last.

Blubbering like a 6ft 2, 225lb idiot!

i am so sorry for your loss and in awe of your Spirit!

You are a warrior

Thank you so much.

Just amazing, what an amazing story. My god.

MDieties, is what we used to call those guys.

It is so sad that things like this happen. Abortion is one of those polarizing subjects that people can feel so strongly about, and women are suffering and dying because of it. Fewer stubborn opinions and more humanity, please.

Aww fraternal bro and sis twins are so awesome

Education is never a waste.

What an important lie. Thank you, sir.

Wow. Just wow.

Respect for their strength.

oh! how heartbreaking! thank you for beeing there and trying everything you could- i see this must have realy been a hard and difficult experience. My good thoughts will be with you!

I happen to respond well to emergencies, and completely fall apart afterward. This poor mom must have felt so panicked and lost. I can't imagine seeing my child in distress like that and not knowing how/ not being able to react. It's a nightmare I'm blessed to not have, and hope I never have.

Family and chocolate cake. That's the way I want to go too. What beautiful serenity and knowing what matters.

Heartbreaking

This is why I do not like "empty" niceties.

Beautiful!

Thank you EMT

my aunt died of whooping cough aged 5 - many years before I was born. I too cannot comprehend why people would not want their children to be immune to this and all the other infectious childhood diseases that decades of vaccination programs have almost eradicated

Love this.
