As the clock ticked, Mr. Murphy’s heart pounded with anxiety and anticipation. He decided to give up a part of himself to save his daughter’s life.
A father decides to sacrifice a part of himself to gain more time for the daughter he abandoned twelve years ago as she fights for her life. When she regains consciousness, she is unprepared for what awaits her.
“You look really happy today,” I said. Old friends of Mr. Murphy laughed as he left the church after Sunday’s service.
Any educated guesses guys? My wife has to get ready to send our oldest daughter Rebecca away, so I’m going home to let her know.
“Shall we banish Rebecca?”
“Yeah! I just ran into an old friend whose son is looking for a wife. He joked that we were ‘just friends with the cousins now. I thought it was a very brilliant concept. Guys, I’m running late! I had to get ready for the wedding of my girls
On the way home Mr Murphy was happy and excited as he dreamed of his daughter’s upcoming wedding. But once he walked through the gate, what did he see? Rebecca was secretly removing something from the container. The result would scare him even more if he found out it was a pregnancy test.
“What on earth is Rebecca doing by the trash can? What is she hiding? Stealing behind the wall, Mr. Murphy thought as he saw his daughter throw something wrapped in tissue paper into the trash.
Her father went to the dumpster and inspected it when Rebecca went back inside. As he grabbed a pregnancy test kit wrapped in crumpled paper, he wondered, “What is this thing? When Mr. Murphy realized what it was, he was shaken to the core. Hoping he had made a mistake, he hurried home.
“Rebecca? Please tell me what it is. What’s going on?”
While forgiveness doesn’t change the past, it can affect your present and future.
Rebecca went pale and speechless when she noticed the pregnancy test in her father’s fingers.
“D—dad, I needed to tell you something. I’m sorry. It happened by accident when I was camping with my friends.”
“What on earth? Are you waiting?
Rebecca’s silence answered Mr. Murphy’s question. He was in complete shock as his entire life collapsed around him.
“You are the biggest shame of the family. How could you treat me like this? How will I react to everyone? People will make fun of me at church. When you ask, ‘What kind of daughter did you raise?’
Mr. Murphy stormed into Rebecca’s room in a rage and soon returned with Rebecca’s belongings.
“Leave my home now! Never, ever come back. You don’t even exist to me.” Without another thought, he threw the bag at her and kicked her out.
“Daddy, if you’ll let me explain,”
Mr. Murphy slams the door in Rebecca’s face, cutting her out of his life permanently. But what would happen to poor Rebecca? She had no friends and her only source of support was her family. Even they have given up now.
The unfortunate result of Rebecca’s one-day affair with a stranger she met at the camp was pregnancy. Thinking it was all over, they left. Unfortunately, her pregnancy served as a metaphor for her mistake, which was too late to correct.
Rebecca was cast out by Mr. Murphy in the cold of the night, leaving her to fend for herself and the developing life within her. What would happen if this pregnant woman was left alone in a harsh world? But her father thought nothing of it.
After many months, Rebecca (23) gave birth to a healthy baby boy. For a while, she lived in a shelter for the homeless, where she met acquaintances who recommended her for a job in a paint factory.
John’s mother Rebecca alternated between working and raising him.
She dedicated her life to ensuring a bright future for her child over the course of twelve years.
After they got into the camper, everything was cozy and tiny, but that didn’t last long because a storm was approaching. In her race against time to raise and provide for her child, Rebecca sacrificed her health.
Rebecca’s liver was steadily deteriorating due to exposure to toxic chemicals in the paint industry. She didn’t realize what was happening in her body until one day she passed out while working her second shift at the factory.
What’s your emergency number, 911?
“The co-worker passed out. Even after we splashed her face with water, she wouldn’t wake up,” said Rebecca’s co-worker.
An ambulance soon followed, rushing Rebecca to the hospital. After examining her, doctors discovered that long-term exposure to chemicals had severely damaged her liver. Her last option was to apply for an allowance immediately.
“I know her. She is Mr. Murphy’s daughter. They were in the same church when I first met them years ago. One of the doctors said, “I’ll let him know as soon as I see Rebecca.
Moments later at Mr. Murphy’s home: “Jesus Christ! Is my daughter okay, doctor? I’m gone. Save her, please. When the doctor told Rebecca Mr. Murphy’s prognosis, he sobbed. He rushed to the hospital without realizing it.” that he will be the one to save his precious daughter.
Mr. Murphy arrived at the hospital with his heart racing for his daughter. John, a 12-year-old boy who was sobbing beside her bed and begging God to save his mother, immediately escaped his notice.
Is he my grandson or my daughter’s son?
However, John was unable to recognize Mr. Murphy as his grandfather. Rebecca kept her background and family a secret from him. The doctor’s words shattered the calm of the ward, interrupting Mr. Murphy as he approached John to comfort him.
“Mr. Murphy, Rebecca requires an immediate liver transplant. Since you are Rebecca’s father, you could be an ideal partner,” the doctor advised the guilt-ridden Mr. Murphy, who was willing to do anything to save his daughter.
“Doctor, I will do everything to save my daughter. Sobbing, he said, ‘What should I do next?’
Mr. Murphy must pass these tests before we begin the operation. Come this way, please.
When the tests came back Mr Murphy was told he was healthy enough to donate organs.
After twenty-eight hours of surgery, Rebecca managed to regain consciousness. “Miss Rebecca, he saved your life!” said the doctors as they praised her.
Rebecca looked to the side to see her father on the bed next to her, eager to meet the man who had saved her from death. When she saw him up close, she cried because she couldn’t believe what she was witnessing and spoke to him.
