Brentlinger family from Toledo, Ohio, was trying to have babies for years and on December 17th 2016, a dream became reality when twins William and Reagan were born. But their joy was not destined to last, because William was born with various abnormalities and only the right side of his heart was functioning.
At the 23rd week of pregnancy, doctors told parents, Lyndsay and Matthew, that their son will be still-born. William has survived birth, but sadly he passed away 11 days later: “They were the happiest 11 days of my life,” said Matthew.
During those 11 days, Brentlingers got in touch with a professional photographer and a friend, Lindsey Brown, who did a heartwarming photoshoot with William and his twin sister Reagan. “Pictures are just memories,” said Brown. “I know how much people cherish them, so I was really glad I was able to do that for them.”
“I cried the first time I looked at them. I still cry sometimes,” said Lyndsay. “They are beautiful and he is beautiful. In some of them, you can see he is wide awake with his big beautiful eyes. It’s something we will definitely cherish.”
