New Zealander Cherie Ayrton was pregnant with twin boys, Tiger and Johnny, when she and her husband, Hayden, learned the bad news: during a second-trimester ultrasound, Johnny’s heartbeat was undetectable. The couple was crushed.
Cherie carried both baby boys to full term. Johnny’s remains were cremated, but the couple decided to honor their twins’ enduring connection by having them photographed together. One photo from the shoot was so poignant that it is still making social media waves today.
