Maria Lugo shields her son Jose, 19, from falling rain as he makes his way to the family van to be transported to the Milwaukee Hamilton High prom along with his identical twin Steven Friday May 21, 2004. Jose was born with his umbilical cord wrapped around his neck and weighing slightly more than four pounds. 'Jose was born dead,' Maria says. 'He was not breathing for the longest time.'
