This week’s guest post comes from one of the volunteer photographers at The Tiny Light Foundation, Samaria Kapcsos. The Tiny Light Foundation offers free professional photography sessions to families with children who have had a life-altering diagnosis.

Light gives of itself freely, filling all available space.  It does not seek anything in return; it asks not whether you are friend or foe.  It gives of itself and is not thereby diminished~  Michael Strassfeld

What does it mean to be a Tiny Light?  Though the title may conjure up an image of something small, minute, or little.  There is nothing miniscule about the strength of spirit, ability to inspire, or the depths of love each and every Tiny Lights possesses.

A Tiny Light, though often small in stature, is gigantic in heart, and enormously resilient.   Not the darkness of disease and  illness; nor  the differing of abilities can snuff the light inside these Tiny wonders, because just as the quote suggests, they give of themselves, and their light freely, never to be diminished.

A perfect example of the embodiment of what it means to be a Tiny Light is Kaden.  A handsome little man with an infectious grin, and a daredevil attitude, who lights up the room wherever he goes.

Kaden was born with Cerebral Palsy, and narrowing of the airway, making every breath a struggle and every movement difficult. But that doesn’t stop this little ball of energy from just being one of the kids with his 4 brothers and sisters, or from squealing with delight as his daddy playfully tosses him in the air.   Kaden has a zest for life like no other child I’ve ever met, and he exudes happiness, and love from every pore, lighting up the faces around him with beaming grins.
