Heartbreaking picture of newborn baby saying goodbye to his twin
This picture of two twin
boys, Hawk and Mason, hugging each other has gone viral after the parents
posted the photo on Facebook so friends and family could see how the twins were
doing.
Bad news is one of the
twins, Hawk, who was severely sick died on Wednesday after suffering
from a rare condition called Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH).
Speaking
to WPEC about the picture, Brandy, the mum of the twins said although Hawk was
undergoing treatment for a rare birth defect, it was actually Mason who needed
comfort from his brother.
Brandy said: ‘He was
actually getting really fussy. And the nurse said, “Why don’t you try laying
him down next to Hawk?” I said, “Can you do that?”
‘So we laid him there
and all of a sudden as soon as he felt Hawk, he reached his arm out and grabbed
him and just started to smile. The two of them knew they were there for each
other.’
Posting about the son's
death on Facebook, the parents who opened a Facebook account under the names of
their twin boys 'Hawk and Mason' said;
'Our hearts are saddened
this morning as our sweet little man was called home to be with Jesus. He went
very peacefully and we know he's no longer suffering. Please give us some time
to grieve and try to start the healing process.'
‘He went very peacefully
and we know he’s no longer suffering. Please give us some time to grieve and
try to start the healing process.’
