Couple's photo with baby has a special meaning and memory to it
Updated | By Jane Linley-Thomas
The reason why this couple decided to get this particular tattoo is bound to leave you a bit choked up.
Losing a child has got to be the worst fear for any parent. Just this morning, I heard of a young girl who was killed over the weekend and my first thought was how devastated her parents must be. I can't even begin to fathom the thought of how it must feel as a parent to lose a child.

I came across this really touching and moving photo. These parents lost their child at 14 months and to celebrate the short little life he had, they each had an angel wing tattooed on their back so when they lie next to each other, it makes a full pair of wings.
A photo of them, which was uploaded by a family member, has made the rounds on social media showing their new addition to the family (a new baby girl) placed perfectly in the center of the wings they had tattooed in memory of their son.

This precious, raw, and picture-perfect moment is one that will be treasured forever and is enough to move you to tears after seeing it.
My sister & her husband got tattoos of angel wings after their son died 2 yrs ago. They had a baby girl in June. This moves me to tears. pic.twitter.com/2sVwxkfuBG
