No words needed to explain this moment. The photo captures the heartache perfectly. I'm truly sorry for her loss. the sacrifice is real and raw, and you captured it perfectly.

When I started editing the images from that day this one hit me hard. It was such an emotional day for everyone involved. I had never photographed pain before, it was difficult.
