Jake and Nora struggled to conceive. They had always wanted to be parents since they first met, and one day, after many trials and attempts, their dream came true.

Nora became pregnant. They were expecting a daughter, and as time passed, they grew increasingly excited to meet their darling bundle of joy.

Jake and Nora were pleased when their baby girl was born…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

“Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Rogers, it’s a baby girl!” the nurse said with a smile.

“Can I see her?” Nora enquired anxiously, as the nurses appeared to be taking their time cleaning the baby.

“Of course!” “Here you go,” said the nurse, eventually placing the infant in her arms. Nora was over the moon. Her baby daughter was the most beautiful tiny creature she had ever seen.

Thank you, darling. “Thank you so much for this miracle,” Jake told his wife. “We did this together, honey. Nora said, “I wouldn’t have gotten through that difficult pregnancy without your help.”

The new parents began discussing the baby’s name because they couldn’t take their gaze away from their miracle baby, who had arrived after numerous miscarriages.

“I know we thought of several names already, but I don’t know if any of them fit anymore,” Nora said, placing her lips on the baby’s head. “How about Hope?”

“Hope?” Jake exclaimed in surprise. “I think that’s the best name for her. Hello, Hope, my darling baby girl. We’re going to love you so much.”

The nurses took Hope so Nora could rest, and after a while, they returned with the doctor, worried and pale. Their facial look indicated trouble.

“I’m so sorry, Mr. and Mrs. Rogers. But your baby went into an unexpected cardiac arrest. We did everything we could, but despite our best efforts, we couldn’t revive her. I’m afraid she’s gone,” the neonatal doctor said.

Jake and Nora’s world came crashing down when they heard these words. They’d just held their darling baby, and now she was gone.

“NO! That’s not possible! Bring the doctor back! He’s lying!” Nora wailed.

There was nothing they could do. Jake and Nora left the hospital the next day, sad and without Hope.

Nora died two years later, unable to bear the grief of losing her child and leaving Jake behind.

Years passed, and Jake was still unable to overcome the pain that accompanied the deaths of the two people he loved the most.

He visited Nora and Hope’s graves every week.

Jake paid floral tribute to his daughters’ graves on the twentieth anniversary of their deaths.

Unfortunately, neither he nor Nora had a large family. That’s why starting a new family was so significant. But now it was only him. Alone in the world. At times, he couldn’t understand why he hadn’t succumbed to grief like his wife had two years after Hope died.

As Jake reflected on life, he heard someone whisper “Hello!”.

He turned around to see what seemed to be a familiar face. Surprised, he muttered, “Nora?” thinking he had gone nuts.

“I’m not Nora. My name is Nicole, and I wanted to talk to you,” the young woman could be heard saying.

“What do you need, young lady?” Jake inquired, still struck by the likeness between that woman and his late wife. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

“I believe you are my father. Dad, I’ve finally found you,” the young woman said.

Jake became even more perplexed. How was that possible? His only daughter died just hours after birth.

“It’s the truth,” Nicole added. “I’m your daughter. Well, at least, that’s my theory.”

“I don’t understand. I don’t know you, young lady, and you don’t know me or my family. But my daughter died after childbirth all those years ago. Please, don’t play around with something that serious,” Jake muttered, almost getting angry.

“I would never joke about something like that. I swear. My parents are not my biological parents, but I look exactly like the picture on that woman’s grave. Didn’t you call me Nora? Isn’t that her?” Nicole stated as she pointed to the photograph on Nora’s headstone

“Maybe you’re a distant relative or something,” Jake hedged, assuming the woman could be a long-lost cousin or someone other than his deceased daughter.

“I don’t think so. Look, I’m 20 years old, and I was born at the George Washington University Hospital. I already investigated thanks to my friend who is a nurse there. There were only two girls born from two couples that day. One couple was my parents, and the other was you. Jake and Nora Rogers, correct?” she checked.

“I don’t understand what you’re saying. You think you were switched at birth?” Jake inquired, perplexed by the young woman’s statements. “That can’t be true.”

“I’m 98% sure of it. I am almost sure that my parents’ real daughter was born sick, and they switched us. I’m even more certain of it now that I see you because I may look like the woman in the picture, but my eyes are clearly yours,” Nicole said.

“Isn’t that a crime? No doctor would do that,” Jake exclaimed, perplexed.

“There’s an open police investigation into the matter now. And my parents might even go to jail for it. So much has happened since I discovered I wasn’t their biological daughter. It’s been so complicated, and it would be hard to explain. But I wanted to meet you and see if you wanted to take a DNA test to confirm what I suspect,” Nicole asked.

Jake agreed, as he, too, craved answers.

Jake told Nicole about how they lost their daughter.

“My wife died of sheer grief two years later. She couldn’t deal with the loss,” Jake continued. “And now you’re telling me that 20 years of pain have been for nothing? You’re Hope?”

“Yes. I know it’s hard because finding out my parents were possibly involved in the theft of a child has been such a shock, but I have to know the truth.”

Jake consented to the DNA test after realizing Nicole was adamant she was his daughter. Deep down, he prayed this girl was his daughter.

When the test results were finally released, they revealed that Nicole was Jake’s daughter.

They hugged and sobbed tears of joy before heading to the detective in charge of investigating the suspected baby swap that occurred 20 years earlier.

The actual number of exchanged babies was unknown, but Jake took comfort in the thought that they could help the cops in this terrible situation.

Nicole’s parents, who had reared her, were eventually jailed for paying hospital workers and snatching her away from her biological parents.

Jake and Nicole were relieved they had found each other, but their hearts hurt for Nora, who died believing her daughter was dead.

We need to be careful in what we eat and not only physically, but also spiritually and psychologically. If we eat healthy food physically, we will have a proper growth and development, and our body will be supplied with good ingredients for its normal functioning.

But, we also need to be careful what we insert into our bodies. Sometimes people accidentally swallow something they shouldn’t. This was not the case with this drunk man.

Per reports, the surgeons were stunned when they needed to remove a steel cup from a man’s stomach, which they believe was initially inserted into his ‘behind…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

An unnamed man was reporting stomach pains for several days and no treatment seemed to work, despite seeing multiple doctors, according to The Post. He then saw Dr. Lal, who did an X-ray and discovered the cup inside him. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

The man was then rushed to surgery where surgeons successfully removed a cup the size of a hand from what appears to be an incision in his stomach.

According to The Post, video shows the procedure which begins with one doctor cleaning the stomach area before carefully removing the silver cup with the bottom of the object facing up. Medical staff appears to be in disbelief as the surgeon holds up the tumbler for the camera.

The man, who works as a laborer, has recovered well, according to reports. The medical professionals have hypothesized that the cup reached his stomach after being inserted up the man’s ‘behind’. Doctors said the man got extremely drunk with three strangers after returning from a grocery store, where he had gone to get vegetables. By the time he sobered up, the unknown people were not present, and doctors aren’t sure if the man shoved the cup up his rectum himself or if he was assaulted.

Corrie says that her daughter’s name means, “God’s Thoughtful Princess,” and that is exactly what Sadie was. She was the perfect princess, the best reflect of what her name embodies.

“And she really was that—always expressing gratefulness and love for God and other people. She would light up a room with her smile; she walked with a skip in her step. I’ve never met a more joyful child who loved God with all her heart.”

Sadie’s father, Tracy Andrews, said that he’s happy, appreciative and grateful for the three years that he along with their family got with spend with their precious Sadie, and reflected on the many lessons his daughter was able to teach him about life and love.

“She taught me about being happy and loving life and loving people,” Tracy said. “At 3 years old, there’s no preconceived notions. To her, everybody was good. She didn’t see the bad. She just loved people and it didn’t matter what they did.”

“As the owner of the Auburn Bruster’s, our deepest condolences go to the family of the child who tragically died Saturday. They are acquaintances of ours and have been regular customers. We are truly heartbroken that this happened. Our thoughts also are with our young crewmember who tried to revive the child. Like all of us, he is quite shaken. The entire Bruster’s family is horribly saddened by this tragic accident.”

They encouraged others in the community to continue praying for the Andrews family.

Sadie’s uncle, Chad Vermillion, also organized a YouCaring campaign on the family’s behalf.

“The body of Christ is powerful when we act together and if we can help alleviate their burden let’s do so,” Vermillion wrote in the fundraiser’s description. “Above all else, please pray for my dear sister Corrie and brother-in-law Tracy. The pain is insurmountable right now.”

Corrie says God used Sadie the morning that she died, to prepare the mother of six for the grief that lay ahead.

Sadie was attached to a blanket from her grandmother, that she slept with every single night. On Saturday morning though, Sadie put the blanket in a bag and told her mom that she no longer needed it, and wanted to give it away.

“Looking back, it’s as if she knew she wouldn’t need it anymore.”

One thing is certain, Sadie Grace brought more joy to this world in her three short years than many of us can fathom in our entire lifetime. She exuded the love of Jesus, and her family takes comfort in knowing that she is Home with Him now.

Praying for peace that surpasses all understanding, and healing for every single person whose life was touched by this beautiful little angel.
