ER Horror: Baby's Life Altered Forever

Holy shit, guys, I just read this absolutely gut-wrenching story about a baby who went through hell after something meant to be routine. Imagine being a parent and rushing your little one to the ER not once, but twice, because he was bleeding post-circumcision, only to be sent home both times. I mean, they basically said, "Don't worry, it's all fine," when clearly it wasn't. That's some mind-blowing negligence right there if you ask me. Now, this baby has got brain damage. Like, how is this kind of medical malpractice even happening? It’s terrifying thinking about it. Those parents trusted the system, and they got let down in the worst way. What are hospitals doing if not providing safety? Stuff like this really makes you question the faith we've got in medical professionals. It’s just beyond frustrating and utterly heartbreaking. I hope these parents get some justice for their baby. #MedicalMalpractice #ERFail #Heartbreaking

The most heartbreaking WWII letter a wife wrote after he was gone

I came across this incredibly sad World War II-era letter from Betty Currie to her husband, Richard J. Currie. Richard was serving in Germany, and they had a young son, Bobby. The heartbreaking part is that Richard had actually been killed in action eight days before Betty even wrote this letter. She had no idea. 😭 March 22, 1945 Thursday My dearest darling; Honey I still haven’t had a letter but I heard over the radio tonight that the ninth army is really going in on this invasion. Oh I wish that the Germans would give up. Even if you had to stay in that army of occupation. Then you’d be out of danger and would not have to go to the South Pacific. I have been to the dentist again today and I think I have two more teeth to come out. That will take all the back teeth on my left side. The next thing you’ll be able to call me toothless. I hope I can save them tho because if I don’t, I’ll have to get a bridge for that back side. At this rate by the time you get home I’ll have all fake ones. Then when you kiss me they would fall out. Ha ha. Why I was down town I bought your Moms birthday present. I bought a pair of slippers. They are just beautiful. I want a pair for myself but I will have let them go for they cost to much. $6.41 with the tax. Then I bought some handkerchiefs for Bobby to give her. They are really pretty to. I tried to buy something nice and something I thought you’d of boughten to. Why I’m talking about birthdays, I wish you’d send a request for something in time for your birthday. It wouldn’t seem right if i didn’t send my better half his birthday present. Bobby was asking for a little young sister tonight and I told him you’d have to be home before we could have a little sister. So he says he wish you’d hurry and come home and help him find a little sister. He thinks you just go out and find them on the street. I told him as soon as we go on our fishing trip and come back, we’d fine one. If that is O.K. with you honey. Of course you have a lot to say. Bobby and I have been looking at pictures of you and all of us before you went into the army and when you was home on furlough. Honey I am going to keep the hot water bottle and go to bed. I need the sleep because I didn’t sleep much last night. I want you to be careful my darling and write when ever you can. Remember that we love you and pray for you every night and love you all the more for keeping care of us. It is hard to be separated but honey it won’t be long and then and then! I love you again and some more and I just love you to pieces my sweetheart. All my love and kisses Betty #WWIIHistory #History #Heartbreaking #MilitaryHistory #WWII #RetroVibes

A Mother’s Letter That Never Reached Her Son

Written during WWII, this heartbreaking note was sent by a mother to her son — not knowing he had been killed just weeks before. The letter reads: “ Huckabay, Tex Sept. 21, 1944 Darling Son: It was one month ago son, that you wrote your last letter that we’ve received from you. Maybe others are on the way but I doubt if you’ve had a chance to write anyone. But all our thoughts are there with you wherever you are. Somehow my faith still holds out, that you’ll come through it all and be with us some day and it sure can’t be too soon to suit your mom and the rest of us here at home. We’re alright. Mrs. Ginace is able to be up most of the time and the babies are fine also. Just received a letter from Ruth. She’s getting on just fine but working hard. Lloyd, the old Flynn’s house is being torn down. So is the Abe Hicks house and the Tom Smiths garage will be wrecked soon. So some of the old houses are coming down it seems. But they’ll be rebuilt elsewhere. That’s the way life is. It comes and goes. We have one life to live. The great hereafter comes my darling, and I want you to be ready to meet it when it comes as it will come to both you and me some day. Your mom will be waiting for you over there should I go first, as it’s natural I should. I know you’ve gone through all the torments any one could go through. It’s been plenty hard and then some. More than most of us will ever know. But it’s something we can’t help. Neither you nor I, or the many other boys over there fighting for the liberty of the world. May God Bless you Son, Always. From Mother and all. “ The letter would be returned to the mother stamped with “Deceased”. Her son had been killed fighting the Germans in Belgium. His body would be returned to the U.S. and is buried in the Huckabay Cemetery in Texas. Lloyd was 26 years old. His mother, Dora, would pass away in 1964 aged 81. #WWIIHistory #Heartbreaking #TrueStories #WWIIHeroes #RealHistory
