I can’t even read this story without wailing! Seriously, I have used up at least 20 tissues in the past ten minutes.

A baby was found alive in Castilian Springs, TN in the wreckage of the recent tornado. Rescuers while surverying the wreckage of a home stumbled upon many baby things. Then they saw what they thought was a doll. Then the doll started to cry.

His mother was dead just 100 feet away. It was reported earlier that is father was dead too, but I don’t find anything about him.

Is it just me, or does every mother instantly try and figure out how they can get there and take this baby home?

I heard the story on the radio earlier and immediately came home to research and make sure this baby had a home. I was so happy to find him safe in the arms of his grandmother. I guess I will have to wait for a true orphan to rescue.

And, I cry because the child has a grandmother who will give him everything he needs. I cry because his mom is gone, but she can look down and know that her baby will still live the life she had wanted for him. I cry because there is only one person who helped this baby survive, and that is the God who created him and watched over him. What a beautiful story this is, if you can look at the things to be grateful for.
