A miracle birth, a miracle recovery, and some miraculously kind people make this week's list:

• Woman Born Without Womb Has Twins: Hayley Haynes was devastated at 19 to learn she had no Fallopian tubes, ovaries, or womb, but in 2007, doctors found new hope—and at 28, she was able to start a family with the confidant who once comforted her.
• Workers Shovel All Winter So Widower Can Honor Wife: Since Bud Caldwell's wife of 56 years died two years ago, the 82-year-old has been visiting a Wisconsin park bench dedicated to her every day to tell her about the previous day and leave a penny and a daisy in memory of their two favorite songs. When heavy snow last month left him unable to reach the bench, two park employees intervened.

• Doctor: Mom's Prayer Restarted Dead Boy's Heart: A 14-year-old boy was "dead for 45 minutes" after falling through the ice at a Missouri lake, his doctor says. But when his mom was called into the room to say goodbye and she started praying, what another doctor called a "bonafide miracle" occurred.
• Teen Mom Pumps Breast Milk for Baby She Gave Up: Kaleena Pysher, 19, gave up her baby for adoption, but there was something else the Alaska teen wanted to give: breast milk. She's been mailing so much of it to the adoptive family that she'll be able to make one more altruistic gesture with the extra supply.
