2007 Pulitzer Prize for feature photography

[O4COBRA]

Gets harder and harder to watch. Then the final picture just rips your heart out of your chest. I admire the people that take care of and love a child like that. I fear this happening to me, and I pray that I can handle. Not sure I can...

 

[wundrbird]

Dear God, that poor family...and that poor, poor child. I can't imagine having the strength to go through that. If my son (15 months) became that ill and passed, I don't think I could go on living.

 

[JJPMach1]

looking at these pics, you don't realize how lucky you are to have healthy children.

Wow, that was tough to click the "next" button. That was one of the moments where you catch yourself with that lump in your throat.
I'm going to go spend some time with my daughter (age 3) now.........

 

[Black0ut]

to get an even deeper feel, watch it again with the captions... Hit me really hard to actually read the pain.

 

[Double"O"]

WOW! very moving!!!!!!!!!!!!

why can't all mothers be like her???

 

[whiteonblackL]

[fondani302]

WOW.. i dont have children or even married for that fact...but that just made me lose it..amazingly powerful, each pic exploded with emotion..very touching

 

[G-STANG]

Those pics hit home big time as I can relate to that situation. Went through something similar with my mother when she had cancer. Not a great thing to experience trust me. Like many said before, makes you appreciate what you have and think it could be worse.

 

[Mayo5]

Wow....holy ****.

 

[WireEater]

to get an even deeper feel, watch it again with the captions... Hit me really hard to actually read the pain.

Thanks, that made it 10x worse.

 

[wundrbird]

Thanks, that made it 10x worse.

More like 1000000x...I almost wish I hadn't seen it a second time with the captions. Thanks for the tears.

 

[BreBar21]

I saw that probably about a year ago. I watched it with captions. It is one of the saddest things I've ever seen. It is very hard to make it through the whole thing.

 

[Gdubb]

Very powerful and sad. I could not even imagine and I dont have any children.

 

[eightballrj]

Wow... Just can't imagine, can't even begin to fathom that type of pain.

 

[BradJ]

My God....I have never experienced so much emotion without a single word. Excellent photos. My prayers go out to that family. Anyone know what he was suffering from?

-Mike

Rare form of cancer, neuroblastoma.

I could barely get through the pictures, all I could think about was my son. Tragic stuff indeed. Nobody should have to suffer through that.

Powerful shit...

Damn that is sad... :uh oh: May he rest in peace.

 

[NotoriousGT350]

Watching the slide show with captions....just sad.

 

[Don Juan]

Thanks for ruining my day.

In all seriousness.....

I have a 3 1/2 month old at home.........

I just couldn't imagine.....

Be thankful for what you have everyday.

I have a 1 year old man, I feel the same way as you do.
