I don’t really have words today. But I have thought about Tate every single day of this past year. Her birth was so peaceful and calm. We had no way of knowing the road she would face…and the days in the hospital that followed. I wish I could go back in time and take thousands more images, but I’m grateful I was there to capture the ones we have. We later discovered that she was in liver failure from GALD. My hope and prayer is that more research can he done to recognize and treat this deadly disease.
Tate and Tristan, when I think of you, I think of you together like this. No wires. Her body in your hands. Your faces pressed against hers. She knew you. You knew her. Intimately, deeply, and forever.
