him in my arms Ashley howford whispered to her husband David as she glanced at the sonographic image of their baby that was yet to brighten up their life with his much awaited arrival the couple had been trying to conceive for a few years and ever since they got the heartwarming news they couldn't help but count days until they could finally meet their first child so far Ashley's pregnancy was going quite smoothly however an unpleasant curveball was about to be thrown in the couple's path both of whom were so eager to be parents before she went for a reliable pregnancy test at a nearby hospital Ashley had been noticing a small but unusual swelling at the back of her head which did feel a bit weird in the beginning but since it was majorly painless Ashley chose not to worry about it however as weeks passed by not only did the knot enlarge but it also grew noticeably painful so much so that Ashley couldn't bear it anymore and had to immediately rush to the hospital she had suspected the swelling to depict in large lymph nodes because that's the diagnosis in the majority of cases as the medical professionals closely inspected the knot they instantly knew it was a tough one to diagnose within a few hours Ashley and David were about to receive the kind of news that would turn their entire world upside down the lump signifies an extremely aggressive yet rare kind of cancer something that has probably been aggravated by the elevation of hormone levels during pregnancy the doctor's words were evidently agonizing as they continued to pierce through Ashley's ears at 33 weeks pregnant this shocking news was absolutely the last thing she needed to hear consequently in order to start her treatment the team of doctors had to perform an emergency C-section after which the newborn would have to be immediately transferred to the NICU this was due to the fact that the 33-week term baby is likely to require a lot of supervision and medical support for survival however to everyone's surprise a miracle was observed in the operation room Not only was Ashley and David's son alive and healthy but he didn't even need to be kept under observation at the neonatal Intensive Care Unit according to the fetal surgeon who was handling Ashley's case he had not seen such a miracle in his entire career that said as David rushed back and forth to make sure both his newborn son and wife were doing fine he couldn't get past the fact that Ashley was still under a series of complicated treatments after going through an extensive surgery involving removal of the swelled Mass she was expected to get better but unfortunately her condition worsened the tumor which had now reached stage 4 was rapidly spreading to several organs including her lungs and liver the oncologist handling the case Dr Deborah Miller was clear about the fact that Ashley's health issues had peaked and were now at an incurable Point devastated David could not watch himself lose the love of his life when Ashley's chemotherapy started around February of 2008 her loving husband requested everyone he knew including those who frequently visited the church to pray for his wife's Health at this point even Ashley knew that only a miracle could save her in July of 2008 the team of doctors had already given Ashley and David their word and asked the young mother to begin recording every memory so that her loved ones including the beautiful newborn could cherish them forever the final scans were yet to be revealed which would showcase whether or not Ashley had any chance of getting a new life despite the odds being against them Ashley and David held on to each other and took a huge leap of faith when the scans arrived the doctors were speechless the results were not just completely unforeseen but depicted no less than a miracle after months of agonizing treatments extensive chemotherapy and so much emotional suffering Ashley was finally cancer-free her Incredible strength and the support she received from her loved ones helped her win the battle against a dreadfully fatal illness moreover even though was quite evident that due to her chemotherapy Ashley wouldn't be able to conceive again she later became a mother of two beautiful healthy children as well sometimes all you need is a giant leap of faith to get you through the worst catastrophe up next when a cop confronts A desperate mom for stealing what unfolds is a tear-jerking Twist you won't see coming this is Brett I'm speaking from the Food Lion grocery store in North Carolina we've just spotted a woman shoplifting here the staff member hurriedly informed the officer on the other end of the line line it was a regular busy weekend for the workers at the grocery store with the holiday season just around the corner long cues of people with their trolleys filled to the brim were a common sight amidst the crowd and the noisy hubub a woman got away with shoplifting despite the security system installed at the store she had managed to exit swiftly with all the stolen grocery items in her large tote bag a few minutes later one of the cashiers randomly glanced at the screen displaying everything recorded by the surveillance cameras and it was there the thief was spotted immediately the nearest Sheriff Department was called and the theft was reported however something completely unexpected was yet to happen that would leave everyone surprised the food items that were stolen were worth $36 soon two officers senior Corporal Keith Bradshaw and Candace spragin Tracked Down the offender's apartment as the cop vehicle stopped at the entrance of the old rusty building everyone walking nearby either halted or slowed down before heading upstairs the cops quickly asked questions from the people standing around the woman who had stolen the grocery items was was a mother of three adopted kids and lived in one of the tiny apartments in the building it looks like she's in trouble officer Keith replied when one of the neighbors asked him about why the cops were there Keith and Candace hurridly rushed up the stairs until they finally reached the mother's apartment who was about to be arrested after two knocks at her door she slowly opened it revealing a horrifying scene behind her the roof Sheltering the tiny room sagged terribly while the windows were gaping holes for the cold wind to rush in and out most of the paint on the cracked walls had chipped away and the entire place place was similar to a rotting Heap the apartment was clearly a filthy structurally unsound wreck that badly needed improvements for a few seconds Keith and ctis were startled at the sight and could not possibly imagine how a family was able to live in that place I'm afraid you'll have to come with us the cameras at the food line grocery store spotted you stealing some items officer Candace told the mother who looked feeble exhausted and it seemed like she would faint at any second no please no my kids she could hardly speak so she held her door open even further signaling the officers to step in as Candace and Keith scanned the apartment their eyes widened even more than before in a corner water lazily dripped down the rotting sill where old spiderwebs flapped in a Dusty silence in a corner a little boy maybe four or 5 years old was sleeping on the cold bear floor the other two kids sat silently in a corner their clothes were worn out and their eyes teary from exhaustion or perhaps hunger I lost everything I owned after getting into an accident the woman finally began to speak while fishing for some grocery items out of her bag she told the officers how she had lost her job and her house after suffering from a major brain injury following surgery she could not start working immediately she had asked around for help but without any friends or relatives to look after her kids they all had to suffer living in the worst conditions while looking around the mother's apartment officer Keith opened the fridge in freezer and was shocked to see the inside empty except for an open bag of old chips here's everything I stole from the grocery store I only did it because my kids haven't eaten in three whole days you can take these items back to the store but please don't arrest me my kids will die without me please the mother sobbed as she stood still begging the officers with a bag full of stolen grocery items in her hand in that moment the two cops could not stop tears from welling up in their own eyes they knew the woman had not stolen out of greed and did not deserve to be put behind bars however Keith and Candice had to take the woman to the sheriff station but what they did afterwards was truly amazing within an hour or two the mother was free to go but before she could return to her kids officers Keith and Candace loaded a truck full of grocery items and delivered it to the Woman's Place they also made sure that the family was able to rent a better place to live in and had access to the basic necessities it's our responsibility to look around and help anyone in need sometimes people are compelled to commit a crime because of poverty and helplessness click one of the two videos on screen right now
