Miles Hollis was in a rush. At the age of forty, he usually didn\u2019t feel this hurried, but on that particular day, he had no other option. A hospital in Florida just called to share the news that a baby girl had arrived\u2014and he was named as the father.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

He could have easily brushed it off as just a wrong number or a joke, but the fact that his wife, Tara, was in Florida changed everything. He had sent her off on a little getaway while he worked on renovating their house in Texas. He wanted to surprise her with a bigger house\u2014one that had extra rooms for the four kids they dreamed of raising together. Three had already found their forever homes, as Miles, having been a foster child himself, held a strong belief in offering others the same loving opportunity he once received. The additional space was meant for their unborn baby, a little one Tara had been hoping for after years of trying.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

But that phone call turned everything upside down. The nurse on the line shared that Tara had gone into premature labor and welcomed a baby girl into the world. Sadly, Tara didn\u2019t make it through the difficult birth. They said the newborn needed her father right away. Miles packed in a haze, his heart racing with sorrow and disbelief. Was Tara truly gone?<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

He got on the next flight to Florida, with tears always just beneath the surface. The whole trip seemed like a haze\u2014his thoughts consumed by memories of Tara\u2019s radiant smile, her hand resting on her expanding belly, filled with anticipation for what was to come. How could she possibly be gone?<\/p>\n
