A few years ago, a friend of mine showed me a youtube video about a little boy named Eliot who was born with Trisomy 18, a genetic defect that doctors expected would kill him before he was even born. Instead, he survived and his parents took a picture of him every day and celebrated his birthday every day at the exact time he was born. I know this clip also has some video and obviously his dad narrates it, but I like it too much to find something else. The pure love, devotion, and faith that these parents have amazes me, and Eliot's story is absolutely one that needs to be shared. The pictures taken of him every day show that story, and I know it's one I will never forget.
Also, Eliot has a website at 99 Balloons and if you go back to 2006, you can see every single one of the pictures they took of Eliot, as well as the blog posts made by his parents and friends about how he was doing every day. The real image story is there, detail by detail.
Wow.. I think this is amazing. True love form a father and mother to a child which fought as much as he could and gave them 99 days of beauty.
ReplyDeleteoh my gosh this is so sad! It is such a beautiful story though, its too bad it doesnt have a happier ending. Thanks for sharing, I had never seen this before
ReplyDeleteI remember when my Dad sent me that video shortly after Eliot died-- they live (or lived?) in Arkansas, which is where we are from. So sad, but also so precious.
