Anna Bozman Thompson wasn't looking forward to taking family photos in preparation for her wedding day, simply because she knew someone very important in her life was missing.
Just six months ago, her beautiful little 8-year-old boy, Lake, passed away after a long battle with leukemia. Anna had been planning to get married to her longtime boyfriend, Travis, but the wedding had been put on hold for several years so the whole family could focus on beating Lake's disease.
But after Lake passed away, Anna realized that she needed to continue forward with her life. While she would never forget Lake, she did need to live her life to the absolute fullest in order to better honor him. So she finally decided on a wedding day.
Lake had always wanted to be there, as Anna chose the wedding dress, which relatives would sit with whom, the wedding venue, what the bridesmaids would wear, the rings, the reception dinner, the wedding dance, the wedding DJ; everything was set except for the wedding photos.
But when the wedding photographer, Brandy Angel, gave them back to Anna, she was in for an incredible surprise that she'd never forget!
So along with Travis and her two other beautiful children, she finally got her photos taken, with the whole family!
Please check out the touching story below!
Anna, Travis, and the rest of the family were grieving the loss of 8-year-old Lake. But in order to properly honor his memory, they realized they had to keep living life. Though it was a hard day for Anna, she still decided to take family photos. Even though Lake wasn't there, she felt as if he were in spirit.
"Through Christ I WILL see my son again and live an eternal life. I cling to this every day. Although my family will never be complete here on Earth, we will be in Heaven. I do know that ️Lake has been watching over us especially when we got married. He made sure that it would be a day that none of us would forget."
The wedding photographer, Brandy Angel, saw how sad Anna was on her special day. So with the help of a family friend, she used her Photoshop talents for good and added an angel into a photograph that instantly went viral...
"I needed this picture more than she or anyone could ever know. THIS is my family. And we will be together again."
And please SHARE this beautiful photo if you're happy that this family got to be reunited! What an amazing memory this photo will be in the years to come!
