It’s amazing what happens to a woman’s intuition when she becomes a mother.
All of a sudden, her life is no longer about just herself. Her child’s safety comes first — no matter what happens.
21-year-old Shelby Ann Carter was building an idyllic family life. She and her boyfriend lived with her mother in Wyoming, Ill.
At the beginning of January 2017, the couple welcomed a beautiful daughter into the world. Shelby was absolutely delighted to be a mother.
However, her plans for the future would end sadly.
On January 30th in 2017, the worst thing possible happened — and it was a terrible tragedy.
Shelby Carter was home alone with her newborn daughter when their home suddenly caught fire.
It spread quickly and in just a few seconds the house was filled with dangerous smoke — and there was no way to escape.
Firefighters rushed to the fire-filled house, but when the flames were finally under control they made a horrendous discovery on the second floor.
Shelby Carter had succumbed the smoke and died. She died from carbon monoxide poisoning.
But in the middle of this tragedy, the firefighters found something amazing — and it showed them that a parent will do anything for her child.
