It's a good one, though.

Nursing Moses: Moms step in after infant's mother dies

MARQUETTE, Mich. -- The day Charles Moses Martin Goodrich entered the world, a new community was conceived.

As the newborn breathed in life, his mother, Susan Goodrich, began to die. Less than 12 hours after having her son, the 46-year-old mother of four was gone. The cause was a rare amniotic fluid embolism.

It was January 2009, and shell-shocked widower Robbie Goodrich was forced to immediately think of the baby's most basic need: milk.

3. My dear Robb...
What a beautiful story...

And what a lucky outcome! So many distraught parents would just have put the baby on a formula and that would have been the end of it...

But this father knew what was best, and what his wife wanted for their son. He made sure the baby got the milk he needed from human mothers.

Wish I could recommend your post!

4. That's a great story - but nothing about an Olive Garden!
