Valarie Watts was devastated to deliver her stillborn son in July. She chose to sell the majority of the things she had purchased in hopes of bringing Noah home while she was still in mourning.
She chose not to include the white crib in her yard sale last month because she was unable to part with it. Gerald Kumpula, a retiree, saw it, nevertheless, and begged to purchase it.
When Watts, 28, learned that Gerald, 75, was a craftsman who created benches out of used headboards and footboards, she finally gave in.
