Two years after losing my wife and six-year-old son in a car accident, I was barely functioning. Then, one late night, a Facebook post about four siblings who were about to be split up by the system appeared on my screen—and my entire life changed direction.
My name is Michael Ross. I’m 40, American, and two years ago, my life ended in a hospital hallway.
A doctor said, “I’m so sorry,” and I knew.
After the funeral, the house felt wrong. My wife, Lauren, and our son, Caleb, had been hit by a drunk driver. “They went quickly,” the doctor had said, as if that helped.
