{please pray} – dallas/fort worth family photographer – melissa zihlman

Posted in Children, personal 44 comments

Today was one of those kind of sessions…the ones I feel in my soul, the ones that will linger with me as long as I live. I’ve known this family “forever,” almost as long as I can remember – and the sweet little red headed 3-year-old is my son’s best friend.

Kim, or Mawmaw as she’s better known is an amazing woman. A lady with more strength and FAITH than anyone I have ever met. And she is fighting an incredible battle. Tomorrow, on her birthday, she’ll have surgery…and she needs all of us to be praying for her, for the doctors, and for her kids.

I know many of you read this blog…so I’m hoping this call to pray will add many more to her prayer chain. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
