Just as my wife Debra’s water broke, I received a call from my mom’s nurse, informing me that my mom was dying. I was torn between staying with Debra, in labor, or rushing to my mom’s side.<\/p>\n
Debra and I had long dreamed of having a child, after years of failed fertility treatments. I promised her I would be the best dad.

In tears, I told Debra what had happened. She urged me to go to my mom, despite her pain. I called a taxi to take Debra to the hospital and drove to my mom’s.<\/p>\n
