No mother, especially one who is just 23-years-old, should ever have to bury their own child, which is exactly why one photographer took pity on the young mom who reached out to him to create a special portrait after she lost her two-year-old daughter.
“She is 23 years old and that is young to lose a child,” photographer Sunny Jo said. “And I just felt for her. This was terrible. This poor girl just lost her daughter. This must be the most heartbreaking thing in the world. So when she asked me to do the photos I said absolutely. I just knew that one way or another I wanted to get the pictures done for what I thought at the time was a grieving mother.”
Mother Jeanie Ditty, an active soldier at Fort Bragg, lost daughter Macy Grace on December 4, 2015, just two days after being found unresponsive and taken to the hospital.
While trying to save Macy, doctors and nurses had found bruises covering the toddler’s body, which launched an investigation to determine what had happened to Macy and what had caused her death.
But in the months that followed Macy’s death, Jeanie kept on living her life and had contacted Sunny, who creates portraits of families with loved ones who have passed away, to create a portrait of her and Macy. “She did offer to pay and out of the goodness of my heart I said, ‘No, I can’t let you pay for this,” Sunny said. “I thought to myself, ‘Sunny you can’t charge someone who just went through this.’ She loved them.”
However, after the three-month investigation was finished, it was revealed that Jeanie and her boyfriend Zachary Keefer were responsible for Macy’s death, and the two have been charged with murder.
“I couldn’t sleep since this happened,” Sunny said. “The only thing that helps me out is me thinking I didn’t do it for Jeanie I did it for the spirit of Macy.”
