I’ve spent some time talking about Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep. Barbara and I are affiliate photographers with this organization. We answer the request for pictures of babies that tragically pass away prematurely. It is a highly emotional and difficult task, but we look at it as a way to give back to the community using our unique talents. A way to help make the community a better place.
On the 2nd of April we were called on again to offer this service. A beautiful baby boy who passed away before making it to full term. The family was devastated and I could tell really wanted this child in their lives. They won’t be able to see him grow up, but hopefully through our efforts can at least bring the memory of their angel home.
We recieved an email from the mother and I’d like to share a part of it.
“I can’t express how grateful I am to you and to Now I lay me down to sleep.
The service you are providing me and my family are more than amazing and
bigger than a blessing.
Thank you so much for helping me bring the memory of my Angel home. I am
just stunned and amazed there is a service like this for parents like me..
God bless you and all the work you do for parents in my shoes.. ”
It’s messages like this that keep us going no matter how difficult. These angels deserve to be remembered.
