Hector Daniel Ferrer Alvarez and Kathryn Williams were expecting their first child when Hector was killed by an acquaintance. A month later Aubrey was born. It was extremely painful for Kathryn to be alone in welcoming her child home but she found a way to let her daughter experience her dad.
Hector was a biker and Kathryn and he were dreaming to marry and set up a home. He wanted to teach his future kids everything he knew about bikes. He was hoping for many bike rides with his girlfriend and their future child.
But unfortunately 25 year old Hector was tragically shot dead and his dreams remained unfulfilled. Kathryn wanted to bring him alive for Aubrey and she found a novel, heart touching way to do it.
Kathryn used his gloves and helmet to make her infant daughter experience her dad. “She started to smile as soon as I laid her in her dad’s gloves. I didn’t have time to set light or anything,” photographer Kim Stone told The Huffington Post UK.
“This time, I really needed to pray before the session,” Stone said. “The grandmother had booked the session for her daughter, explaining that the baby’s dad had been tragically shot.
“The sweet mum was emotional. She wanted to use dad’s motorcycle gear; something he loved. I wanted to do my best.”
“I will screenshot the page in a few weeks and I’ll print it off for my daughter to show her the world prayed and wept for her and mommy and daddy,” Kathryn later wrote to Stone.
“Daddy made an impact even after he was gone and that would be his dream.”
According to The Huffington Post UK., since Stone shared the heartbreaking picture on Facebook, it got shared 65,000 times just in three days.
