wow....heart wrenching....I can't even imagine...
 
I hate to be a wet blanket - the photos are beautiful and heartbreaking, but why would you choose to take those? First, I would never forget how I felt when I was first told my husband wouldn't be coming home, so why document it? Second, I just wouldn't want those to be the memories I brought back when I thought of him. Maybe it's just me, but I can't imagine the need to have photos like these.

And my husband is retired law enforcement, so I completely understand what it's like to send him off every day, for 20 years, knowing he might not come home.

I'm not trying to knock these, just trying to understand.

But I agree with Julie.

they are beautiful pictures :)
I have a daughter in the Military as of right now. I keep my faith and pray everyday for her, and all the Military Men and Woman. The pictures brought tears to my eyes.
 
Those photos are really beautiful and moving. I love all the flare-y (not a word) light. But I will admit- I'm kind of feeling like a big idiot here because I don't get it- did they take these photos before he left in anticipation that he wouldn't be back? Or maybe the original photoshoot was just supposed to document their feelings before he left, and now the photog went back and edited his opacity?

The logistics of this are making me confused.

I could be completely wrong but my understanding of it, is that the photographer setup these photos to promote awareness of a widows foundation.
 
:hide OHHHHHH! See I knew I was being a big idiot. So that actual guy is not deceased. Makes me a little bit happier about the actual photos, and now I see them for what they are.

Very beautiful and moving now that I've gotten past the logistics of that guy not being physically present.:carryon
 
That totally made me tear up. I see myself and my husband. I'm thankful for him being here everyday. He has talked about going back in the Air Force to finish up his 20 years for retirement (only two left)...
 
Oh, good gracious, Brynn! I was fine until I clicked the link to her blog! Now, I can't stop the water works! This is truly wonderful. I love to see professionals supporting a cause close to their hearts. And that song...
