Tuesday, I volunteered to do another shoot for Flashes of Hope. We were in the outpatient clinic and a ton of kids were signed up. The Philadelphia Inquirer was there doing a story as well. The reporter asked me why I volunteer to do these shoots. I wanted to tell her that I felt called to do this. That I wanted to give these families something to cherish no matter what the outcome. But before I could, this little 20 month old boy, who wasn’t even supposed to make it to his first birthday, wrapped his sweet little arms around my neck and crawled up in my lap and just squeezed. In that moment, I knew I didn’t have to tell the reporter why I did this. She saw the fulfillment of what these shoots mean to me and those I do them for. This is an amazing organization that I am proud to be associated with!
