There are moments in our life when things get twisted, there are days when you would like to return, return to that point where you did not know any of this, where you did not feel that pain, there are days when you must let your son go, forever.
Some time ago we talked about a couple who hired a photographer for a photo shoot with her daughter born lifeless, now born "Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep" (now I'm going to sleep), an emotional project of heartbreaking but emotional photographs of parents with their lifeless babies and save that snapshot forever.
The project arises from the loss of its founders Mike and Cheryl Haggard, who lost their baby a few days after birth.
That night was the worst night of my life. But when I see the images, I don't remember my worst night. I remember the beauty and the blessings it had brought. Cheryl Haggard states
The project puts volunteer photographers around the world with couples who have lost their son but want to have a picture of those moments in which he was in his arms.
I must admit that this awakens in my mixed feelings, because they are tremendously intimate, painful moments and of which I cannot say right now that I would like to be able to continue seeing them every day, or perhaps if, perhaps I did not want my mind to erase its ephemeral memory.
