When Redditor steffel07‘s daughter passed away he made a very simple request of Redditors: “My daughter recently passed away after a long battle in the children’s hospital. Since she was in the hospital her whole life we never were able to get a photo without all her tubes. Can someone remove the tubes from this photo?”

Reddit’s reaction was swift and wonderful.

Took Markaes’ one and fixed some discolorations, removed moisture around eyes, and evened out the skin tone a bit more. –eoJ1

brachiators: “OP – If you could, tell us the little one’s name.

I know she was too young to drink, but if loved ones are lost, we will light a candle and pour a round where I bartend.

Also, I am a bad Catholic but promised my Ma I would go to mass more often and it’s always better if I am praying for someone else.

Stay strong.”
