    On February 3，1989，just as I gave birth to my baby，Jacob，something impossible occurred：

Mother was sitting up，her oxygen tubes  33  ．When I brought Jacob home，Mom was sitting in her chair，  34  to welcome him．Tears of joy filled my eyes as I  35   my son in her arms．They just  36  at each other．

For two weeks，Mother smiled and held Jacob She spoke to my father，her children and grandchildren in complete  37．She gave us  38  ．Then she quietly slipped back into a coma and，after  39   from all of her children She was finally free of the pain and  40  away．Believe it or not，love can last forever
