Kate Murray from Florida is a photographer with heart and
soul. Her pictures have gifted wonderful memories to hundreds of people. But
this is a special photo that has burned itself into Kate’s memory forever. It
is the picture of a woman whom she had asked to photograph while she gave birth
to her first child. The tragic: halfway through the pregnancy, the woman
receives a shocking diagnosis: breast cancer, stage 3. One of her breasts is
removed and she is subjected to chemotherapy - all while she carries an unborn
child inside her womb.
After 36 weeks, the doctors induce birth so they can treat
her cancer - so that she survives for her child. As the newborn attaches
himself to Kate’s single remaining breast, emotions run deep through the room.
The photographer Kate Murray is present first hand to
capture this singular moment: “That is the definition of strength, love, and
pure beauty,” she writes on her Facebook page. “This boy has already proven by
his birth that he inherited his mother’s strength. This photo breaks my heart
and makes it swell at the same time.”
A birth is a miracle in itself, one is connected with an
unbelievable amount of emotions and feelings. One can only imagine to some
extent what takes place inside the cancer sufferer as she is finally able,
after months of torture, to hold her child in her arms. What a miracle!
This mother and son have proven an unbelievable amount of
strength and vitality while fighting their hardest against cancer. If these
wonderful and singular pictures also touched you deep in your heart, then share
this wonderful story!
