Hug your little ones tighter – Child Photographer
This week I came across yet another story of a family in need of prayers for one of their kids… linked from another mother dealing with the loss of her baby boy. No parent should ever have to deal with even the possibility of their child dying, much less the harsh reality of losing a child. I have too many (even one is too many, but sadly, I know more than one) close friends that have had to face that reality. It breaks my heart over and over again…. and each time I see these stories, I try to hold my little ones tighter, squeeze longer and soak in every piece I can of them while they are here on this earth with us.
So I stopped saying “I”ll do it tomorrow” and had a little photoshoot with the boys the other day… I don”t want to forget one single thing about them at this age and their bond… it was very last minute and nothing fancy… but that”s fitting b/c that”s our life! It is sad that being a photographer, my own kids have as little pictures as they do… I NEED to be better about this. It is going by so fast and I don”t want to look back 10yrs from now (or even 10 months, days, minutes) and regret the little things I missed – in pictures or in life!
Sadly, today marks 3 years that the superprincess left this world. Through most of these tragedies, there are lessons learned. Sheye requested that this be reposted – hopefully sparing another family this pain.
Please continue to pray for all of these families and the families you know (feel free to post links in the comments section – everyone in this situation can use more prayers!).
Thank you for posting, Danielle. What a wonderful thing this family is doing to turn their tragedy into an opportunity to educate parents.
The pic of the boys is amazing!
Beautiful images D and an amazing message. My heart breaks for all these families and it does make me hug my babies tighter! Thanks for sharing.
I can”t believe something so horrible can happen so fast. That little girl died a totally unnecessary death. I feel so much for her parents and hope others (like myself) learn from this. Great post! I even shared it on Facebook.
Beautiful images, D. So sad for these families. Puts things in perspective for sure. Thank you for posting.
As a parent, this story is difficult to read. Thanks for the education. Definitely need to take more pictures myself. The boys are looking adorable.
