For Michael O’Brien, April of 2017 has been the most difficult year of his short life. The 8-year-old from Middleboro, Massachusetts, tragically lost his father in a car crash on April 16.
Then, on April 26—just 10 days after his dad died—Michael’s mom, Marie, began choking in front of him, and she couldn’t speak or breathe.

“I said, ‘Please, God, don’t let me die in front of this kid. He’s already been through so much,’” Marie said of the incident.
She had been talking with Michael on the couch before school when the muffin she was eating became lodged in her throat.
