Abbie Hallawell’s life took an unexpected turn when her 17-year-old daughter, Teegan Barnard, became pregnant. What should have been a joyous occasion quickly turned into a heartbreaking tragedy when Teegan suffered cardiac arrest. Despite the best efforts of doctors, Teegan tragically passed away after giving birth to her baby boy, Parker John.
In her final moments, Teegan was able to hold her precious baby in her arms. Aware of the fleeting nature of this moment, Abbie made sure to capture the bond between mother and son. She took pictures of Teegan and Parker, ensuring that he would have a tangible memory of his remarkable mother.
Abbie knew that Teegan would have been an extraordinary mother. As Parker grows, both Abbie and her son-in-law make it a point to talk about Teegan as much as possible. They want Parker to know just how deeply his mother loved him, even though he is still too young to fully understand the magnitude of the loss.
To keep Teegan’s memory alive, they dress Parker in clothes adorned with photos of him and his mom. This way, she is always near, close to his heart. Seeing his mother’s smiling face in these pictures brings comfort and reminds Parker of the love that will forever be a part of his life.
We bid farewell to Teegan, may she rest in peace. Her love and legacy will always live on through her son, Parker John.
