In a heart-warming story of love and devotion, a wife made a selfless decision to grant her dying husband’s final wish of holding their newborn daughter before he passed away.
Originally planning a natural birth, the wife changed her plans when her husband requested to see the baby. She chose to undergo an induced labor so that her husband could have a chance to cuddle their newborn daughter before he died.
On January 18, 2012, Diane gave birth to a beautiful baby girl in a hospital bed pulled up next to her husband, Mark.
Baby Savannah was then placed in her father’s arms and held for 45 minutes until her strength began to let her down. Mark cried and looked sad as he looked at his newborn baby.
Tragically, Mark fell into a coma three days after Savannah’s birth and passed away soon after. Diane remembers the tender moment when she placed Savannah on her chest and how Mark’s hand moved toward her comatose daughter. It was a testament to a father’s love that knows no bounds.
