At first glance, there seems to be nothing strange in these beautiful pictures of babies, but there is a tragic story behind them. An Ohio couple, Lindsay and Matthew Brentlinger, had been trying to have a baby for many years, and their dream was finally fulfilled on December 17 with the birth of their twins William and Reagan.
But in the 23rd week of gestation the doctors told them that one of them, William, would hardly be born due to a serious malformation in his heart, or that if he was born he would survive a short time. Although he was with them only 11 days, they decided to do an emotional photo shoot with his two newborn twins before one of them died To remember them together forever.
