Man Helps Woman Lift Stroller, Later Sees Cross Necklace He Buried with His Child on Her Baby – Story of the Day

A man’s single act of kindness leads him and his wife on a journey that reunited her with her siblings she never knew she had.

It was a fine evening in New York when Jude Fiddlestein left his hotel for a walk to clear his cluttered mind. He was a businessman who had traveled to New York for an annual business conference he hoped would help him further his network in the business world.

That evening, Jude was feeling the clawing pain of loss that appeared when he lost his daughter June several months before. He and his wife Megan had been trying their hardest to get past the loss, but it was tough — the child had been their life, and her death was unnecessary.

She passed away after an overworked surgeon made a mistake while removing her appendix. It made moving on for the couple all the harder; the first few months saw them ensure that the surgeon and the institution were adequately sanctioned.

“It’s not about a settlement,” Megan had told reporters who had been covering the court case, which began when the hospital in Mount Sinai tried to cover up the accident.

“We just want to make sure that people are aware of this and that it doesn’t happen to other people. We wish no one such a sordid experience,” she said.

After justice was served, the couple were left with their grief, and they both resorted to different coping mechanisms. Megan spent her time crying in June’s room or in Jude’s arms, and her work as a hairstylist was put on hold.

On the other hand, Jude threw himself into his work. When he was not comforting his wife, crying behind her back, or sleeping fitfully, he was working. That was why when he caught wind of the business conference in New York, he jumped at it.

The conference went well; it started in the morning and ended late in the afternoon. Jude would have returned on the first flight back to Houston; however, he was not up to traveling just yet, so he decided to return on the first flight the following day.

As he lounged in his hotel room, grief swirled within him, eating at him until he felt empty. In an attempt to shake off the feeling, he decided to go for a walk just as the sun was setting.
