For Miyagi, one heartache time could never completely heal was the grief of not having been able to hold his son, to see his child's face one time.

When Daniel presented his daughter to him, Miyagi knew it was the closest he'd ever get to experiencing that. The little girl was strong and healthy. She had a wonderful life ahead of her. She would be loved. She and her mother had been lucky to be in a hospital, with doctors to care for them.

Looking at her face, Miyagi's eyes went wet. "A beautiful child," he said, cradling Sam closer.
