I don't normally get sentimental, but that brought a tear to my eye.

Yes, same here. It is amazing that what you'd think is gross actually turns out to be helpful and therapeutic.

Not sure I could handle that personally as a photographer... impressive strength no less on both sides.

Remembering and reclaiming the beauty of life leading up to a tragic event, even partially, is one of the most generous things anyone can do.

We are expecting our first child in April - so this hits home hard. If the unthinkable did happen to our child, I think that I would definetely love to have photos to capture those few precious moments.
