Sweet Matthew

Matthew...
I have been a part of a few charity organizations for quite some time now. I strongly believe in giving back where we can and using the talents God gave us to help others but in a case like this, I wish it wasn't necessary. The organization I took these images for provides photo sessions at no cost to parents whose children are terminally ill and some who have already gone to be with Him. Tonight, I had the honor and privilege of meeting Matthew. A sweet soul on loan from God himself. Matthew is one of a set of quads and identical twin to Robert and he is in the final stages of liver failure. The fact that he is here at home for this short time is a miracle and one his parents did not want to let slip by so a nurse recommended that they call me. I must admit this was both one of the most rewarding and most painful things I have ever done. As a mother, I couldn't help but ache for this family. My heart was heavy while proofing and several times, I had to just step away and compose myself. God bless and be with you, Liz & David.
