I Never Thought This Would Happen To My Family

One Sunday night, Maci and her family were at church. Her dad wasn't with them, though, because he was a police officer who sometimes worked at night.

As she was at church, Maci found out heartbreaking news about her good friend Ryder. Ryder's dad had lung cancer, and Ryder was struggling with the reality that his dad might not be around much longer. Maci felt so badly for Ryder and his family, and she couldn't imagine what it would feel like to lose her own father.

After she got home from church, Maci decided to head to bed. However, she was woken up later that night to sounds coming from downstairs. She decided to get out of bed and find out what was going on, and she found her mom talking to a police officer at the front door. Her mom seemed to be really upset. Then, Maci heard people crying in the living room. When she went into the room, she saw her aunt and two sisters crying together. At that point, Maci knew something had to be terribly wrong.

Soon after, Maci found out why everyone in her house was so upset - her father had been shot. Maci was in complete disbelief. She thought to herself, "I never thought this would happen to my family." While she heard about police officers getting injured on the news, she never thought her dad would ever get hurt on the job.

Later that night, Maci and her family received positive news - her father was going to live, but he would have to have a major surgery at the hospital. At that point, Maci didn't know if her father would ever walk again, which was extremely scary for her.

Maci and her family began to pray, and they waited hours for an update. When the phone finally rang, they anxiously listened for some news. Thankfully, the doctors told them that Maci's dad was going to be okay and that he was extremely lucky. Maci was ecstatic when she heard the news.

Now, Maci's dad is back at work, and he's about to get a new dog. While it was an incredibly scary experience for Maci and her whole family, they all feel so lucky and grateful that Maci's father was okay.

This is the only legitimate story channel ever. Massive respect.

[kaineedshelp]

To everyone wondering, they are writing a book, thats why they are not posting

[missygorgeous]

i’m wondering how the boy who’s father is in the hospital is doing :(

[dteqipo]

Everybody's talking how theyre early and im here amazed by this story

[belle]

Police Officers are some of the strongest people out there. They go through a lot and they see a lot of horrible sights. My grandpa was an officer and he died in the line of duty. I wish I could’ve met him :(

[katherine_queen]

Is anyone else worried about the kid who’s dad has lung cancer? Like I’m glad her dad is alright and happy but what about the other kid? I feel bad for him I hope his dad is alright or at least still alive

[lazygamertm]

I understand my dad isn't a police officer but he was shot and now he's paralyzed from the waist down

[HaylShortcake]

Moral of the story: Don't ever think it can't happen to you

[gummiworm]

I love how this channel isn't fake and it actually takes stories from real experiences of people

ok i just keep getting more likes so I’m just not gonna say anything else

[hahzhxhdbdhd]

This channel is actually real and doesn’t fake anything, which I genuinely love! I hope everybody making these real stories are doing fine
(P.S. this is an opinion, so if you don’t agree, please ignore this comment, please do NOT start drama. It is really annoying and I’m not going to always be there and have to stop some random drama that literally is just somebody’s opinion! Stop complaining about an opinion that you may or may or not agree with 🤦🏻‍♀️)

This channel: Actually real stories

All the copycat channels: MY MOTHER DATED A CHEESE GRATER AND GOT PREGNANT WITH IT, THEN MY FATHER WAS GIVING BIRTH TO MY BROTHER.

[sushipanda]

This hit a little close to home for me, both my parents were in the Marines and suffer from injuries that they got nearly 26 years ago, along with PTSD. I know my mom has anxiety in big crowds, but my dad hardly ever shows anything. Their both AMAZING people, and I wouldn’t change them for anything or anyone.

[DreamieF]

I feel so HAPPY FOR THE GIRL that the father survived. Allah is so kind. May Allah protect her family. Ameen. ❤ This is so heartbreaking to hear about. :( I feel bad for the kid's dad whose got cancer and will eventually die from it soon. I hope they are doing great after all. :D

[marge]

I love how thses stories are real, like other accounts are like “I cry diamond tears and then became a fish”

[ananicoleta]

Wow your father is a tough man and sounds like he takes his job very serously. I wish cops were more like him in my country....

[unnamedname]

Storybooth: “I never thought this would happen to my family”

Other channels: “I GOT PREGNANT WITH MY BATHTUB AND MY DAUGHTER IS MY DAD

[happypuppy]

Your dad is a true hero my dad is a cop too ❤️

[eloisemorten]

I love how storybooth stories are actually realistic. A lot of people go through the things that are talked about in these stories, while on other channels like my story animated, my animated story and other channels like that have absolutely mad stories, which make barely any sense. Also, this channel walked so that my animated story, my story animated and other channels like that could run.
