A dying man has just become a father --- his first hug is touching!

Mark Augler, who was suffering from pulmonary fibrosis, had only a few days left to live, but his wife's pregnancy (her fifth) had not come to full term.

Due to this situation, the doctors suggested that they be allowed to induce the woman's labor so that she could give birth to her little girl, thereby, giving her dying husband the chance to at least see his daughter before it was too late.

Consequently, Mark was the first to hold his baby girl immediately after her birth and he held her for as long as it was possible. Only two days later he fell into a coma and never woke up.
