One day recently, a man in New Jersey was working in his yard, when he found he could not see, he experienced a type of snow blindness. He was taken to the hospital, where he went lost conciousness. The doctors found a a tear in his aorta, he was taken to the operating room, where he virtually stopped breathing. He suffered extensive brain damage and paralysis on one side of his body. The operation was a success, and he recovered his breathing ability. In the meantime, his expectant wife was in the same hospital, having gone into labor, probably from the stress. She gave birth to a baby boy. The mother felt, when she looked at her newest born child, that the baby could affect her husband's will to live and he would get better. So, when she was able, she took their newborn son into her husband's hospital room, and placed the little one, on her husband's chest and held him there for a while, until the child's father opened his eyes and recognized his newborn son. The father started to smile, and his eyes lit up. Those who were in the room, started to laugh and cry, at the same time. They saw in his face, a tremendous look of happiness. He saw the baby boy as often as possible. He was eventually able to leave his bed and struggle to walk again, through therapy, without assistance. He improved so much so, that after a period of time, he was able to return home. He carried his newborn into the house, with the rest of his family by his side. All this was accomplished, in part by the smallest member of the family. What a story to tell him when he is older, you at birth, gave your father a strong reason to live.
