When you're having a long day, a work-induced stress day, a day stuck inside when the sun is shining and you crave the warmth but just can't reach it, a day when the meetings never end but your patience has... you pack up your gear and head to your fourth Heartfelt session in 13 days.
Four families, four losses at different stages of their pregnancy journeys, but all of them coming to the same heartbreaking conclusion.
I stopped at the waterfront, as I sometimes do on the way home, to take a breath before I walk in the door to my chaotic every day, for which I'm so grateful. Every time I leave the hospital, I'm hit with that reminder of how grateful I should be, for the 'normal' life I have, and for the love of two beautiful children (young men!) that were gifted to me by the universe and a good dose of luck.
I don't take many photos these days, there's no time, but I'll move mountains to make sure these families get the photos they need to remember the child they held, if only ever so briefly.
