In the most heartbreaking moments of our lives, some people can break through and truly bring some much-needed comfort.
Valerie Watts was devastated when she gave birth to a stillborn boy. It’s something no expectant mother should have to go through.
As time passed, the Cokato, Minnesota, woman eventually decided to set up a garage sale. She was ready to move forward and had mustered up the courage to get rid of the baby’s things, including his crib.
The grieving mother sold the crib to a man named Gerald and his wife, but little did she know the crib was about to return to her in the most unexpected way.
Gerald learned that Valerie had lost her baby. Instead of keeping the crib, he did something truly incredible.
As it turned out, Gerald is a carpenter. He brought the crib home to his workshop and transformed it into something Valerie could hold onto and cherish for life.
Much to her surprise, Gerald returned to Valerie’s home the following week to present her with his creation, and she broke down sobbing on the spot. The video has been millions of times, and you’re about to see why.
