I couldn't read it all. I got as far as the part about the new lumps, but as a father it ripped my heart out of my chest and I just can't read any further. But thanks for the post and for what you did.

Thats very sad. Going through a tumor-battle myself, can't imagine seeing your child die so slowly yet not fast enough.
Beautiful pictures, they will never go to waste

That was one of the most moving things I've read, ever. I've cried twice in the past five years, and today was the second time.

You think your tough until you're reduced to a blubbering mess by something like this.

Beautiful images from what I could see...eyes are a bit blurry at the moment.

I can't imagine being tasked with shooting something like this knowing the circumstance, nor can I imagine the amazing feeling of knowing that just doing what you do means the world to someone.

I'm sorry, I just couldn't get past the first few paragraphs. I just can't imagine the grief, but I'm glad there was a photographer who was able to help the family at such a terrible time.

I did NOT take the pictures, I found the story and thought I would share it ...

this little girl got pretty famous! I feel so sad for the family and for the countless other children going through the same thing that isn't featured in the press.

I hope for all of them a caring photographer is there to give the families that little bit of something to hold on to forever
