Stranger Steps In After Story Of Struggling Widower Goes Viral
Taking Over
With Katie in a coma, Todd took over all her motherly duties at home. With the help of Jazmine, Katie’s sister, he cooked for the kids and cleaned after them. He helped them get ready for school, drove them there, and even came to pick them up afterward.
Since his first son was already a teen, he helped with most of the duties. The other six kids also chipped in with chores at home. But although life would slog on, one thing was for sure.
An Empty House
Katie’s absence could be felt all over the house. The beauty in Todd’s home shriveled to a frail version of its former self. The place seemed empty, with a shadow of worry constantly looming over Todd’s family.
His kids were strong through the first few weeks, trying their best not to worry their dad with questions about their mom. They understood that she was sick and healing, and they wanted to support their dad in every way possible. But the pressure would prove too much.
