Shyanna leans against a car while she and Spring wait to be let into the car. Spring used to be put in the back seat, but she would climb over seats to be by Shyanna. Spring is now given the space at Shyanna’s feet. ©Krystina Beach

“Will you please,” Charla sighs as she tries to gather her kids, Shyanna and Conner out of the middle of the road where they have stopped. ©Krystina Beach
