Baby Caralyn will never get to meet her mother, but the actions of the Iowa woman's best friend will leave the little girl in no doubt as to how much she was loved and wanted. When gym instructor Laura Yoho was told she had brain cancer, the 30-year-old and her husband, Nate, were determined to still have a family together. The couple had just got engaged at the end of 2010, when Laura was diagnosed with having brain tumors after she passed out at the gym. Laura had eggs frozen before starting treatment and, when the couple decided they were ready for a baby, her best friend Kara Stetson offered to act as a surrogate.

He will make sure @placeholder remains a big part of their lives, and has plenty of photos of videos of the couple, including a reenactment of the moment he proposed to Laura.
