Woman Brings Toys to Foster Care, Meets Boy Who Is Carbon Copy of Her Late Husband – Story of the Day

When a woman brings a box of toys to a group home, she meets a boy who is the carbon copy of her late husband. She decides to adopt the boy, only to find out that the boy was more than just her husband’s lookalike.

Nicole and Mark married each other just months after meeting for the first time. They were head-over-heels in love with one another and were sure that they wanted to spend the rest of their lives as husband and wife.

Mark proposed to Nicole and decided to tie the knot in a simple civil ceremony with only their parents and siblings in the audience. In the months following their wedding, they tried really hard to have children, but they just couldn’t conceive.

After trying for over three years, they decided to visit the doctor to find out why they couldn’t conceive a child naturally and to find out their options.

By then, it was too late to remove it.

Nicole and Mark spent the next couple of months making the most out of their time together. They traveled, spent all holidays together, and visited group homes to spend time with kids.

“In another life, this is how I would have loved for us to spend the rest of our lives, Mark,” Nicole cried one day as she cradled a young baby in her arms. “Us, with our kids…” she started to daydream before her eyes filled with tears. By then, she could no longer stop sobbing.

By then, Mark’s health had started to deteriorate, and he could no longer go anywhere without his oxygen tank. In just a span of a few short weeks, he was bedridden and he eventually died in his sleep. “No more pain, my love,” Nicole cried. “I love you.”

Months passed after Mark’s death, and Nicole could not cope with the loss. She tried her best to take her mind off of things by visiting the same group home she and Mark used to visit.

One day, a couple of days before Christmas, Nicole visited the group home with new toys and books for the children. She loved spending time with them, as it reminded her of better days with Mark.

While looking around, she suddenly spotted a new boy about the age of four in the midst of all the children playing. “It can’t be,” she whispered to herself. The boy looked exactly like Mark did when...
