Brandy said: ‘He was actually getting really fussy. And the nurse said, “Why don’t you try laying him down next to Hawk?” I said, “Can you do that?”

‘So we laid him there and all of a sudden as soon as he felt Hawk, he reached his arm out and grabbed him and just started to smile. The two of them knew they were there for each other.’

But sadly, Hawk Buchmeyer passed away from a rare condition called Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH).

His parents, Brandy Guettler and Tommy Buchmeyer, later announced that their ‘sweet little man was called home to be with Jesus.’

They added: ‘He went very peacefully and we know he’s no longer suffering. Please give us some time to grieve and try to start the healing process.’

The family now hope the picture will raise awareness about the fatal condition which claimed the life of their baby. Metro UK added.
