Mom Honors Son She Lost To Cancer By Photoshopping Him Into Wedding Photos
Anna Bozman Thompson recently lost her young son Lake to leukemia earlier this year, weeks before his ninth birthday. Last month, Thompson married her longtime boyfriend, but knew the ceremony was incomplete without her beautiful son.
Anna’s friend and talented photographer, Brandy Angel photoshopped her son into the wedding photos to complete the family pictures according to NY Daily News:
Thompson shared the touching image to the “Prayers for Lake Bozman” Facebook page on Sunday gathering more than 2,000 likes and 200 comments filled with love and prayers.
“Somehow I have managed to continue going but there have been many days that I did not think I could,” she wrote.
Angel met the family through the “Be the Change – Brandy Angel Foundation” — her own non-profit that takes photos of families with children who have incurable cancers, such as Lake’s.

She told the Daily News that Thompson was very specific about how she wanted the photo and Angel and photographer Paul Woodward made it happen.
In the photo, a light appears beside Thompson in the field that never changed shape or color. “It’s unreal,” Angel said.
Angel told Thompson about the appearance of the ethereal light she said, “I told you my baby would show up.”
The wedding photos caused much anxiety for Thompson, who had never taken family photos without Lake before.
“I could feel my emotions taking over after the ceremony when it was time to take pictures,” she wrote.
But featuring Lake in the photos brought the family together again.
“I needed this picture more than she or anyone could ever know,” Thompson said. “THIS is my family.”
