Just went to a session a couple of days ago in our NICU where the mother had been killed in a head on collission back on Jan 29. The baby was around 35 weeks gestation, if not a little older. During the time the little guy was on life support, they had taken him off once, and he fought for 8 days, then they put him back on. They called the day before to let me know their plans, and I showed up the next day. As you can imagine, this little boys father was a complete wreck having just lost his wife. After they took him off of life support, he held him, but didn't want to take any pictures with him. We took pictures with the grandparents and his brother and his wifes sister. I didn't want to push it on him, but I just hope and pray that in 5-10 years, he looks at those images and thinks to himself, "why didn't I take any pictures with Kalai?". THe little guy did pass the same day.
I know how much our images of Lindsey mean to us, and to look at them with me holding her, I can still feel her soft skin under my lips, and can smell that new born baby smell in my nose when I look at them.
If you all could say a few prayers for this young family, that Kalani finds the strength to get through losing his wife and son, and that he finds the strength to take care of his other children, that would be wonderful. He has a support system here in town, but I think it's going to take a lot more than that.
Thank you for listening.
