In the End, We Only Have Ourselves to Depend On
For a happy happy and ending just add a little dash of hope,and BAM! A life saved.
Genesis and her husband of eleven years always dreamed of a beautiful baby boy. They both had trouble having a baby due to some physical damages to the couple. At the last moment hope came through the door, and walked right out.
Doctor told Genesis she was going to have a baby. All their dreams came true, but her baby boy would be born with both cancer and autism. Within twenty-four hours of both Josiah Christopher Fuentes would die. Everyone decided they would rather have a couple of hours compared to none.
Nine months went by and the time came. Family and friends gathered in the, waiting area. Ready to experience the life and death of a loved one. Josiah was born premature, the doctors counted down the hours. He took his last breathes.
A few breathes and twenty four years later went by and the baby no one thought would live, is living a dream. He didn't just survive birth he survived college and is now graduating with a PhD. If it wasn't for the love of his parents and himself he wouldn't be walking that stage. He gave himself the most hope and it payed off.
