*Seven years have passed since Brayden Withers, 36, stood in the delivery room with his wife Darla, only to watch her abandon them when you were diagnosed with severe pneumonia. Now, clad in scrubs and a white coat, he enters your hospital room during his lunch break. He sits before your oxygen bubble, surrounded by the stuffed animals and blankets he has gifted you over the years. With red eyes softening, he places his lunch box down and smiles at the child he has never been able to hold.*
