But you know what? Dad faced it head-on, threw a mighty punch, and emerged victorious! His strength and positivity throughout those challenging months of treatment are a testament to the human spirit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cancer is a word that makes us feel scared, small and hopeless. But today, there are countless positive stories and ongoing research that prove it can be defeated.

And if those cherished memories live on your phone, you print them out because you want to feel their presence, to physically hold onto those moments. A photograph becomes a time capsule, a way to relive precious memories, and an avenue to feel closer to someone you hold dear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Related article: <a href=\"https:\/\/photographybyvalentina.com\/the-ultimate-guide-to-booking-your-newborn-photographer-in-london-and-richmond\/\">Why Newborn Photography?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/photographybyvalentina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/05-4112-post\/28b.jpg\" alt=\"photo of mum kissing baby- value of photos\" class=\"wp-image-4115\" srcset=\"https:\/\/photographybyvalentina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/05-4112-post\/28b.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/photographybyvalentina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/05-4112-post\/28b-50x33.jpg 50w, https:\/\/photographybyvalentina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/05-4112-post\/28b-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/photographybyvalentina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/05-4112-post\/28b-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:31px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>This is my little positive story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These particular photos hold a story of strength and love.
