Please read before viewing picture.... It's worth it!

A picture began circulating in November.

It should be the picture of the year, or perhaps the picture of the Decade.

The picture is of a 21 week old unborn baby named   Samuel Alexander Armas, who is being operated on by Dr. Joseph Bruner.

The baby was diagnosed with Spin Bifida and would not survive if removed from his Mother's womb. Little Samuel's mother Julia Armas is an obstetrics nurse in Atlanta. She knew of Dr. Bruner's remarkable surgical procedure. Practicing at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, he performs these special operations while the baby is still in the womb.

During the procedure, the Doctor removes the uterus via C-Section and makes a small incision to operate on the baby. As Dr. Bruner completed the surgery on the Samuel, the little guy reached out his tiny , but fully developed hand and grasped the surgeon's finger.

Dr. Bruner was reported as saying that when his finger was grasped, it was the most emotional moment of his life, and for an instant during the procedure, he was frozen, totally immobile.

The photograph captures this amazing moment with perfect clarity. the editors titled the picture, "HAND OF HOPE"

Little Samuel's mother said "they wept for days" when they saw the picture.

She says "the photo reminds us that pregnancy isn't about disability or illness, it's about a little person.

Samuel was born in perfect health. The operation was 100 percent successful.

Now see the actual picture, it is awesome... incredible
