The boy's mother, Anna Bozman, married her boyfriend Travis Thompson last month, according to the Prayers for Lake Bozman Facebook page.

Feeling like her wedding wouldn't be complete without her entire family by her side, Bozman knew she needed to make something happen.

"Although I felt his presence that day and I was actually happy, it was almost unbearable to take family pictures without him," Bozman told WSBTV.

Bozman said she could feel her emotions taking over after the ceremony when it was time to take picutres. She became anxious and almost irritated but she knew that the pictures had to be taken.

But thanks to photography done by Brandy Angel, she was able to have a picture made with her entire family.

"They turned out (beautifully), and thanks to my amazing photographer, she was able to get some special edits done," Bozman said. "I needed this picture more than she or anyone could ever know."
