The Thursday of the week I was diagnosed we had met with a bunch of doctors deciding which team to go with. We decided on UT Southwestern and they set up chemo for the following Monday. I learned that the type of chemo I would receive would make my hair fall out the very first cycle. On the way home from the appointments we called our long-time friends, the Bryants, to see if they would be willing to come do an impromptu photo shoot to capture our family and my long, strawberry blonde hair before it was all gone.
They came over without hesitation and Maggie shot these amazing photos that we will cherish for years to come. They are full of emotion- both the joy of Noah at such a fun age and the coming birth of David- but also a lot of hurt, pain, and confusion over my diagnosis with such a horrible disease. We are thankful for the Bryants' friendship and these beautiful photos. Thank you Maggie!
Hi Ashleigh,
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to let you know that as a fellow mama and sista in Christ, that I am praying for you and that I am cheering you on. My husband was at LGO (graduated 2009) and we are good friends with Tim Leary, which is how we heard of you and your prayer needs.
