The child born prematurely and without hope today has become like this
Photographer and director Ben Miles, for his wife's 32nd birthday, Lyndsey Miller, gave her a special gift: the story of Ward's first year of life, which traced the difficult struggle for the life of little Ward Miles, born premature to twenty-fifth week, sick, underweight and in dire condition. Today we can retrace his beautiful story through the shots of the father who with great love documented all the moving and painful moments of struggle of the tiny child, to show us how we see him today, a beautiful and strong child.
Because dads, we know, can be really wonderful, look here:
After hours of labor, the tiny Ward Miles was born with very little chance of surviving, so much so that the doctor told his parents that there was only a 50% chance that he would grow up normally.

After 107 days of hospitalization, incubated, helped in everything by the machinery, the little one finally made it, and to the immense joy of mom and dad he returned home. Today he is really well, sweet dad continues to immortalize him in his shots , so we can follow him to find out how much strong little Ward Miles has grown.
And today? He seems really happy to us
