Mourning Mom Sells Stillborn Baby’s Crib For $2: A Week Later, Buyer Returns It Transformed
It has to be one of the most wonderful feelings in the world to be expecting a child. The anticipation of the joyous days that will follow the birth of that bundle of joy fills the parents-to-be with enthusiasm.
Valerie Watts was looking forward to seeing her son’s face when she gave birth to a stillborn baby boy, but her joy and emotions were destroyed.
Her pregnancy was going swimmingly for the first few months, but then everything changed.
Watts reflected, “All week, I knew.” “He wasn’t moving as much as he used to.” “I was quite jittery.”
Noah’s umbilical chord was pinched in the womb, and his life was cut short before it even began.
Watts couldn’t seem to shake his sadness. Despite the fact that her son did not survive, she was unable to part with the crib she had purchased for him, and keeping it at home served as a reminder of the sorrow that had befallen her.
Gerald Kumpula recalled, “She was a little hesitant.” “I knew she didn’t want to sell it, but she did anyway.”
Kumpula owned a workshop on the outskirts of Cokato and resided a few kilometers distant. He was interested in buying the crib when he saw it at the Watts family garage sale, even though it wasn’t on sale.
“I hesitated when he asked if I was selling it, that he created benches,” Watts admitted.
Kumpulas had no idea what happened to the crib back then.
“His wife was there looking through my garage sale — at some of the baby clothes — and inquired how old my son was since I don’t use the crib anymore,” Watts revealed.
Kumpulas knew the crib belonged to the Watts family, so he chose to return it to them after transforming it.
Watts stated, “I started bawling instantaneously.”
Kumpulas’ crib bench serves as a reminder of the tragic times, but it also serves as a sign of solace for the bereaved parents.
