If this was a man with bones of glass it wouldn't hit the news. A weak man who shouldn't reproduce because of bad genetics is not news worthy sorry. 👎🤭
This is the kind of news we need more of
Investing in crypto now should be in every wise individuals list, in some months time you'll be ecstatic with the decision you made today…

Such a blessing that woman has after coming out of a coma..
He saw her lose consciousness and then heard her crash? Surely he would have seen her crash?!

I would go into battle with this one . A fighter.

Finish the race…Amen.
So his wife was fine, he decided “time for a night out, scooter ride!!” She passes out, breaks every bone, and within a WEEK he’s like “yeah no more life support what’s 11 years”
Hmmm
17 bones??? Was she in a garbage compactor 😭😭
Don’t be so quick to pull the plug.
I know a few ppl who survived when doctors told them to pull the plug on their loved ones.
Glad she’s doing well.
Congratulations to Rachel!
Amazing. She is awesome.❤
What a fighter.
