Frida Kahlo had suffered a miscarriage the previous month; she mourned Dieguito's death for years. Her mother would die two weeks later.https://twitter.com/DIADetroit/status/899638101085171712 …

Days after her miscarriage, Kahlo demanded Dieguito be brought back to her. She wanted to paint him. The hospital, of course, refused.
I can't say I love this painting. It's impossible to love something this agonizing.
But I've gone out of my way to read about it, to talk to others about it, see it in person. Then, out of nowhere, I see the eclipse photo.
This gives us a small glimpse of Kahlo just weeks after the miscarriage. She dressed up. She's outside. She's... very much alive.
This photo puts a lot pieces together for me (including some things I won't even tweet about atm). I'm so happy I saw it today.
