Angel Baby Pictures?




I know that I am an idiot for asking this but here goes.

I was in an office today and a lady had a picture like this on her desk. It looked like her baby photo with angel wings and a halo. My question, is her child alive?

Peppy, I'd guess that she's had a similar experience (as you), and that's her way of "dealing with it". I'd be curious too...

Here is another picture I found. I think this is something that is "in", maybe they think it is cute.

It slightly less creepy than the babies in vegetables, but not by much...

I just talked to my brother, the girl lives down the road from him and she had the baby a couple of months ago and he/she is alive and well. I guess it is just there little angel.

That just really creaps me out.

It can't be a picture of her deceased baby unless she knew the baby was terminal, and went and got an angel picture taken, right? I'm thinking it's just a cute picture.

I hope that's not rude or anything, I don't mean it that way.

While we are on the subject, anyone know the origin of the cartoon stickers of baby angels with baseball caps I see stuck on cars?

The deeper, more disturbing question is why on earth would you think they would prop up their dead baby like that? Or do you think they just had the foresight to plan ahead?

Jeff I thought it was something they added after the baby passed away.
