The story of this teacher brought me close to tears. After watching his wife miscarry first a set of twins and then another child, he went to the doctor for testing, since he was also coughing up blood and had been experiencing muscular spasms. After finding out that he carries an extra piece of a gene, the doctor instructed him to have his family tested as well in order to see if it would even be possible for him and his wife to have children.
The next day in class, this teacher broke down and shared his test results with students. Many in his class cried along with him, touched that a teacher would open up to them on such a personal level. He ended by saying that he believed that maybe God had another plan for him at that point in time, and that maybe his students were meant to fill the void that he longed for his own children to fill. He told them, "Maybe God is telling me I already have a family, you."
