Over the late summer/early fall a couple viral photos surfaced of families with their ‘shadow’ children. What these shadows represent are their child/children who have passed away. I thought this was such a wonderful idea to pay tribute to the love they have for the child they have lost. In addition to that, I am sure it helps that family heal a little seeing the spirit of their sweet child with them in the photo.

When one of my clients asked me to do this for them, I 100% said yes. Take a look at her tribute to her sweet Ty.

Gone Away

Maybe in another life
I could find you there
Pulled away before your time
I can’t deal it’s so unfair
And it feels and it feels like
Heaven’s so far away
And it feels, yeah it feels like
The world has grown cold
Now that you’ve gone away
Leaving flowers on your grave
Show that I still care
Black roses and hail Mary’s
Can’t bring back what’s taken from me
I reach to the sky
And call out your name
And if I could trade, I would
And it feels and it feels like
Heaven’s so far away
And it stings, yeah it stings now
The world is so cold
Now that you’ve gone away
Gone away, gone away
