There are moments in life that we want to treasure forever. Sometimes they are joyful and sometimes they are devastating, but both are times we will never forget and always keep in our hearts. These photos are moments are just like that, captured forever in a picture. 24 different times, life came together perfectly and someone caught it on camera and each of these destroyed me. I completely lost it when…
