Not everyone believes in soulmates(灵魂伴侣), but Kelsey Poll’s story of how she met her future mother-in-law provides some evidence!
It all started when Kelsey’s mom, Stacy, was giving birth in a hospital at Lakeview Hospital in Bountiful, Utah. About to become a mom of three, she had some concerns going in. However, nurse Mary Ann West offered her some words of encouragement. “The nurse who was on duty said that it was going to be OK, and that she was a working mom of three kids,” recalled Stacy. She was very comforting, and Stacy was so grateful for that. Unfortunately, complications (并发症) arose while Stacy was in labor. Mary Ann discovered that the mom was suffering from an unusual condition which could have killed both mother and child. Thankfully, both survived.
Years later, Kelsey Poll met the love of her life while working at the bank. Before long, she and her partner, Tyler West, were planning their wedding and meeting each other’s families.
“When Mary Ann said she worked at Lakeview, I really wondered if she was the nurse who delivered Kelsey,” Stacy said. “She looked familiar, but I wasn’t sure if it was her, or not.” The moment of truth came when Tyler and Kelsey started looking through some old photos, they found something surprising. In one album were photos from the hospital when Kelsey was born — including a picture of the nurse that brought her into the world. Stacy said to her future son-in-law, “That looks like your mom. Is that your mom?” Next, they checked the signature (签名) on the birth certificate. It was Mary Ann’s handwriting. The two families were overjoyed when they discovered their connection, but Kelsey was especially pleased.
“It was one of those things that confirmed to me that Tyler was someone I wanted to be with for the rest of my life, and it also made me feel closer to his mom and his family,” she said.
