When Sarah welcomed a bouncing baby boy, she thought it would be the happiest day of her life. But an unexpected betrayal shattered her world, leaving her devastated and alone. She packed her bags and left with their newborn, forcing her husband to confront his priorities.
A few weeks ago, I gave birth to our beautiful baby boy, Luc. It was a tough pregnancy, filled with sleepless nights and constant worry, but it was all worth it the moment I held Luc in my arms.
The plan was simple: my husband, Tom, would pick us up from the hospital and we’d start our new life as a family. I imagined him cradling Luc, his eyes lighting up with joy. That image kept me going through the hardest days.
The day of our discharge arrived, and I was buzzing with anticipation. I had Luc wrapped in a cozy blanket, and every tiny sound he made filled my heart with warmth.
I kept glancing at the clock, each minute dragging longer than the last. Tom was supposed to be here by now. I checked my phone: no missed calls, no messages. My excitement began to twist into anxiety.
The nurse placed a comforting hand on my shoulder. “If you need anything, don’t hesitate to call the hospital,” she said softly.
“Thank you,” I whispered, my voice barely audible as I stepped inside, feeling more alone than ever.
I needed Tom to understand the gravity of what he had done. My heart pounded as I methodically packed a bag for me and Luc. Each item I placed in the suitcase felt like a nail in the coffin of my trust.
Tom truly was a changed man. He stepped up and became the supportive partner and loving father I knew he could be. He never missed an important moment again, whether it was a midnight feeding or a precious first smile. His priorities were in order, and he made sure we knew we were his world.

Jimmy Carter’s eldest grandchild shares health update as former president nears 16 months in hospice
It’s been 479 days since Jimmy Carter entered hospice care at his home in Plains, Georgia.
Although the former president’s family initially believed he would only live a few days, Carter, at 99 years old, has defied the odds.
“God had other plans,” Jason Carter, 48, said.
Jason, the oldest of the Jimmy and Rosalynn’s 22 grandchildren, recently shared an update with Southern Living on the health of the 39th president.
According to the oldest grandchild, there’s “really been no change” in the last few months.
After nearly 16 months under hospice care, the last seven without his wife of 77 years, Carter is “experiencing the world as best he can as he continues through this process.”
“After 77 years of marriage… I just think none of us really understand what it’s like for him right now,” Jason said.. “We have to embrace that fact, that there’s things about the spirit that you just can’t understand.”
While family continue to visit the former president at his home in Plains, they find it difficult to predict what kind of day Carter will have.
More often than not, Carter spends his days sleeping.
However, a few weeks ago Jason visited his grandfather and the two watched an Atlanta Braves game and talked about the Carter Center and their family.
“I told him, I said: ‘Pawpaw, you know, when people ask me how you’re doing I say, ‘honestly I don’t know,’” Jason remembered. “And he kind of smiled and he said ‘I don’t know, myself.’”
Jimmy Carter is in my prayers every single day. Please share to keep him and his family in yours.
