I came across this the other day and felt compelled to share it here! I’ll admit, it’s *very* sad (so BE SURE to have tissues handy), but it is reality for some people…
Photographer Renee C. Byer of the Sacramento Bee was awarded a Pulitzer Prize for her image portrayal of Derek Madsen, and his family, as he struggles with, and eventually loses his battle with a rare form of childhood cancer. The images are raw, real, and absolutely breathtakingly beautiful…a different kind of beautiful. I just can’t imagine what these photos must mean to this family…
