It's the worst possible thing to happen to new parents. While Diane Aulger was 9 months pregnant, her husband Mark laid dying in a room at the same hospital.
Two weeks before her due date, 52-year-old Mark, who was suffering from colon cancer, took a turn for the worse. Diane, two weeks away from her due date, knew she had to do something fast, so she did the unthinkable and made doctors induce her labor. It was a risky move, but it was Mark's dying wish to meet his daughter.
Healthy baby girl Savannah was born on January 18th, 2012. Mark was granted his last wish and got to meet his sweet little girl. Mark held on and stayed strong for as long as possible, but 5 days after Savannah was born, he passed away… with his daughter in his arms.
With every passing comes new life. It's beyond tragic that this family had to experience it all at one time, but it really is amazing that Mark got to spend those few precious moments with his daughter. She may not remember her Daddy, but she will always have this special memory.
