Prayers for a young father…

I had the highest honor of photographing this sweet family about two years ago.  The father in this picture has bone cancer.  It was a recurrence of a previous cancer and he was just about to begin treatment again and they wanted a family portrait before all that began.  As I commonly say, “every family has a story” and this one was no different.   (The “Today” show stole my line!)   Todd not only has cancer but his sweet, sweet wife is legally blind.  Together they were raising two young sons and their spirit was so wonderful and it was profoundly important to me to do a good job for them with their portrait.

I learned today that Todd is in Hospice care.  I cannot even find words to describe my feelings for this family at this time.  So, if you are one of my faithful blog readers and you are so inclined to pray, PLEASE pray for Todd and his sweet family in the coming days.
