Grayson James Walker lived for only 8 hours. He had anencephaly, a fatal condition in which a baby is born without parts of the brain and skull.

On the day he was born in February 2012, the family had special photographs taken by a professional photographer and a video made to remember their third child's short life. But Heather Walker's decision to post a photograph of Grayson on Facebook last month, two years after his death resulted in considerable backlash.

Looks like they did a remarkable job of dealing with an incredibly difficult situation. Good on them. And shame on Facebook.
