I see my son in the Northern Lights

Hugo Sanchez spends his nights waiting for hours in the freezing Canadian wilderness to catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights. He’s an avid photographer but capturing the aurora is more than just a hobby for Hugo. He took it up after his son, Emilio, was born with complex disabilities. When Emilio died at ten years old Hugo found solace and hope in the dancing night sky.

Hear Hugo’s story on this week’s Lives Less Ordinary podcast.
