Photographers Help Grieving Parents Take the First Step in Healing

[baycruisers]

Today on the Washington Post web site there was a story about "Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep," a nonprofit organization that offers to send, at no charge, photographers to capture images of babies who have died or who are unlikely to live more than a few hours or days.

The story is quite touching and will bring a tear to your eye. I'm not sure it's something I have the strength to do, and I have the utmost admiration for those who are able and willing to do it.

There are some very good people out there. It's nice to see photography being used for such a positive thing.

Thanks for the link, very touching. I am not sure I could do it though, I would be too emotional.

I'm not sure that I could do this ... but I do crochet gowns and caps for our local hospital.

I also make very small matching blankets with hearts in the corners so that parents can keep them.

What of wonderful story of giving. It is fantastic to be able to give freely of items that can be nothing but treasured.
