Here’s the winning haiku submitted by Ryan for his Maria.

we have faced it all

taking care of each other

seventeen years strong

Their story is heartbreaking and inspirational all in one. In 2008, Liam, their 6 year old son, was diagnosed with an inoperable malignant brain stem tumor. Last June he passed away after an awe-inspiring battle. Ryan and Maria shared the journey HERE with rawness and humility and joy. Liam’s life and fight has made me live and fight harder. It is impossible not to be changed by their experience.

I do not have enough exclamation points to tell you how excited we are to do this for them. Maria and I go way all the way back to 6th grade homeroom with Mrs. Brouillette. That was over two decades ago. Gulp.

Here’s what they have won:

  • 1 hour photo session valued at 250 bucks
  • Online gallery with 20 professionally edited images
  • Your favorite image on a CD delivered to your doorstep

Thanks for all of your creative, heartfelt haikus. It was great fun to read them and we hope you give the next contest a whirl!

Met in Tokyo
Joe drank White Russians; I smoked
Still smiling plus three

I knew him four months
We eloped in Las Vegas

You may be wondering how we will know whose friend is whose and that answer is a cinch, too.

    They have to tell us.

    Kisses

    • Facebook example: Meredith Novario sent me to become a fan and give you a sloppy smooch.
    • Twitter example: @Mereditz sent me to give you a kiss. MWAH!

    And so on and so forth.
