I love both the photo and the story behind it. I have a family member, just under 2 years, battling brain tumors (and winning). Your story is inspiring.

Thank you- it is really tough to see anyone go through cancer, but with children it just guts you. I'm glad your little family member is winning the fight!! I will be sure to add him/her to my thoughts & prayers :-)

Great photo, very tender and loving moment. Great in Black and white. Congratulations for Bella and you and your family on her being free of cancer and for fighting so hard. It effects the whole family. I pray continued health for you all. I bet there is a greater bond between the twins, they are both so lovely, and look like they have great spirits.

What a beautiful photo your family will have forever. When they grow up and begin arguing over petty stuff this will be a great reminder of what really matters. I'm glad you shared with all of us that Bella is doing well and hope both daughters continue to do so. Congrats on the award!
