This touching and tragic story serves to remind us of just how much kindness and compassion there is in the world. When Ohio father Nathan Steffel’s daughter Sophia passed away only six weeks after her birth due to medical complications, he requested on Reddit that someone alter her photo to remove her medical tubing. Because she had spent her entire short life in the hospital, he had no photos of her without it. The response by Reddit’s users was touching and overwhelming.
