This Adorable Picture Breaking The Internet Has A Heartbreaking Story Behind It

This photograph of a three-week old baby girl Aubrey, lying between her father's motorcycle gear and smiling in her sleep, is breaking the internet.

"I made this image. It is good, but it’s not perfect," says photographer Kim Stone. She captioned the image
"They say that angels are talking to babies when they smile in their sleep. I guess maybe that's true."

The adorable picture shows the baby wrapped in a pink blanket and resting her little head in the palm of her daddy's motorcycle gear.

 

The image has touched almost a million people on social media - shared over a 78 thousand times and liked by as many as 349 thousand people in less than a week.

But the story behind it is heartbreaking. Baby Aubrey's father, Hector Daniel Ferrer Alvarez, was shot dead in Florida April by someone whom he considered a 'friend'. Hector died at the age of 25, a month before Aubrey was born.

He always wore protective gear while riding his bikes.

He had even planned a photo-shoot for his yet-to-be born child, but sadly he didn't remain alive to see it happen.

 His wish was fulfilled by his mother who approached their neighbour and photographer Kim Stone.

"She wanted to use Dad’s motorcycle gear; something he loved. I wanted to do my best, so I asked for God’s help," said Stone.

After she was over with the newborn's photo-shoot, Stone shared the pictures on social media and received an overwhelming response.

Aubrey's mom Kathryn Williams, who shared her husband's passion for bikes, was emotional on seeing her baby's picture with dad's gear.

 She later sent Stone this:
“And I will screenshot the page in a few weeks and I'll print it off for her to show her the WORLD prayed and wept for her and mommy and daddy. That God moved the WORLD for us. That daddy made an impact even after he was gone and that would be his dream. Every prayer from another is one less weight for me to carry.... It's one more piece of peace I have and one less tear I shed.”
