Super Bowl champion quarterback Nick Foles and his wife have made a heartbreaking announcement in regard to his recent absence from his team.
According to The Daily Caller:
Quarterback Nick Foles hasn’t been with the Jaguars during OTAs because his wife Tori had a miscarriage 15 weeks into her pregnancy.
Tori wrote the following in part Wednesday night on Instagram explaining the awful situation:
Early Sunday morning after a rough couple days fighting a “virus” of some sort, I went into sudden labor and knew something was wrong. Not long after we learned we had miscarried our baby boy. To fully labor and deliver and even see our baby boy was a pretty devastating process. Come to find that I had contracted an infection of pneumonia in the blood. The emotions go back and forth from immense and overwhelming sadness, confusion and anger to a firm belief that God has this fully in his hands and will use this for good.
This is simply an unbelievably tragic situation, and it’s truly beyond words. Tori’s entire post is not only heartbreaking and emotional, but also inspiring since she shows so much strength and hope in the face of such a tragedy.
The report goes on to indicate that this shows family is more important than your job or football.
