David paced nervously up and down the hospital waiting room. His brother Jack said, \u201cCalm down, Dave! You\u2019d think no one ever had a baby before!\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

David smiled. \u201cI know,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m just so nervous! I\u2019ve always wanted to be a father!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Jack grinned and patted his brother on the back. \u201cGet ready to be a daddy, my man!\u201d It was then that the doctor walked in and headed for David. There was something in his expression that killed all laughter, and David just knew.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It was, the doctor said, one of those one-in-a-million flukes, a rare mischance but it had cost Rita and their baby their lives. David listened to him very calmly and nodded in all the right places.He didn\u2019t even cry, but when he tried to take a step, his knees just folded. A weeping Jack had to hold up his brother and carry him home as if he were a child.<\/p>\n

\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Days later, after Rita and their baby were buried, and everyone but Dave seemed ready to forget, he woke to a silent house. He reached out to Rita\u2019s side of the bed. Empty.<\/p>\n

Parents will make the most heartbreaking decisions for their children\u2019s welfare.
\nHe got up and walked down the corridor to the nursery and turned on the pretty nightlight that cast soft pastel stars up onto the ceiling. He and Rita had decorated that room as much with pain as with dreams. It was all gone.<\/p>\n

Dave sat in the rocking chair Rita had insisted was a must-have and cried. His heart and his house were empty, his dreams were gone. He wanted to tear that nursery apart and negate that emptiness.
\nSuddenly, a thought invaded his mind. \u201cYou can\u2019t fill a hole with anger, only with love.\u201d Who said that? Dave wondered. He\u2019d heard that somewhere, sometime. Now, maybe that idea might save his life.<\/p>\n

\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Dave contacted social services and inquired about adopting or fostering a child. At first, the social worker was hesitant. \u201cWe don\u2019t usually give children to single parents,\u201d she said. \u201cThough it IS becoming more common.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI have a good life,\u201d Dave said. \u201cI have a lot to give a child, especially love. My wife and I dreamed of being parents \u2014 I want to make that dream come true.\u201d<\/p>\n

The social worker picked up a file with lots of colored stickers on it. \u201cWould you consider a special needs child?\u201d she asked.<\/p>\n

\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Dave shrugged. \u201cAll children are special, they all have needs,\u201d he said quietly. \u201cWe never know what God might send us. I\u2019ll take the child who needs me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Of course, Dave had to go through a lot of interviews and had to do some parenting workshops, but eventually, the big day came. They told him he had a son.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a little boy who has been through three different foster families,\u201d the social worker said. \u201cHis name is Sam, and he is two years old. He has Down syndrome\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cWhere is he?\u201d asked Dave.<\/p>\n

\u201cSam has some health issues you should be aware of,\u201d the social worker said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll take him to the pediatrician,\u201d Dave said. \u201cWhatever he needs, he\u2019ll get.\u201d<\/p>\n

When Dave saw Sam, it was love at first sight. Sam was the cutest baby he\u2019d ever seen!<\/p>\n

At first, Sam was shy, but when he realized how much Dave loved him, and how caring he was, he slowly came out of his shell. Dave couldn\u2019t understand how anyone could not want such an adorable child!<\/p>\n

\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Of course, it took Sam a little longer to reach his milestones, and the doctor said they would have to watch his heart, but in almost every way, he was perfect!<\/p>\n

The best part of Dave\u2019s day was when he picked Sam up from childcare, and his little boy ran to him, arms opened wide. Dave would swing Sam up high and tickle his fat little belly, and his heart would overflow with love.<\/p>\n

\u201cRita,\u201d he\u2019d whisper to his dead wife when he watched Sam sleeping. \u201cI made our dream come true, I filled the hole you and our baby left in my life with love.\u201d<\/p>\n

The years went by, and Sam grew as fast as any other child. The doctor said his heart was just fine. He was a happy, friendly boy who made friends out of everyone he met. No one could resist Sam and his happy grin!<\/p>\n

The phone was constantly ringing with invitations for sleepovers and playdates, and Dave could hardly keep up with Sam\u2019s busy social life!<\/p>\n

\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Then Sam turned twelve, and he started wanting to go out with his friends on his own like the big boy he was. It wasn\u2019t easy for Dave, but like every other parent, he learned to give his son space.<\/p>\n

Then one day, he received a phone call from a lawyer. \u201cMr. Wallace,\u201d the man said. \u201cI\u2019m calling on behalf of your adoptive son\u2019s birth parent\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat do you want?\u201d Dave asked sharply.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would like to talk to you\u2026\u201d the lawyer said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not interested,\u201d Dave said. \u201cThose people abandoned my son. There\u2019s nothing you could say that I want to hear.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cPlease, Mr. Wallace,\u201d the lawyer said. \u201cFor Sam\u2019s sake.\u201dReluctantly, Dave agreed to meet the lawyer. As soon as he arrived, the man handed Dave a letter. \u201cThis will explain everything so much better than I ever could, Mr. Wallace,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Dave opened the envelope and started reading: \u201cDear Mr. Wallce, if you are reading this, I\u2019m finally at rest with my beloved wife. I thank you for loving my sweet Sam and for caring for him.<\/p>\n

\u201cBefore Sam was born, the doctors told us he had Down syndrome, and it made no difference to us. We welcomed him joyfully. We imagined we\u2019d have many long and happy years as a family, but it was not to be.<\/p>\n

\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cWhen Sam was three months old, he was in the hospital for some tests. My wife, Emily, and I drove to the hospital to pick him up, and we were hit by a truck.<\/p>\n

\u201cEmily died instantly, I survived, but as a quadriplegic. For these last twelve years, I\u2019ve been a dead man who still breathed and cried and cursed God.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was not the father Sam deserved. I wanted better for my son, so I placed him for adoption. I was right, Mr. Wallace, because you took my boy in and you\u2019ve been the best father.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne day, I want you to be able to tell Sam that his birth parents loved him and wanted him. I don\u2019t ever want my boy to think we abandoned him.<\/p>\n

\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cPlease, tell him! My lawyer will give you the papers for Sam\u2019s trust fund which will be in your hands. Thank you again, Mr. Wallace, for loving my Sam, for being the father I should have been.\u201d<\/p>\n

The lawyer gave Dave access to Sam\u2019s trust fund which came to $1.2 million, money which he vowed would secure his son\u2019s future, just as his biological father had wished.<\/p>\n

Dave wondered if the families who had turned away from Sam would have turned down the money if they had known it existed! Sam\u2019s biological father had been right to hide his fortune, so his son could be loved for himself.<\/p>\n

What can we learn from this story?<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t give yourself up to bitterness and anger. Fill your heart with love. Dave chose to turn away from his grief and pour all the love in his heart into a needy child.
\nParents will make the most heartbreaking decisions for their children\u2019s welfare. Sam\u2019s father gave him up so he could have a normal childhood with a loving family.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
