Have you seen this video?

Started by OneGirl, author of It Just Takes One 2/9/2010 12:16:26 AM

We watched this at my church recently. I posted about it here. Please watch the video. You won't regret it, I promise. Grab a few tissues before you begin, though. And if you'd like, join my little discussion/community (in the comments section) on my blog. To do that, just click on over to the post about the video.

Thank you! I ended up changing the date to when it will be posted. I posted about our lunch date instead. But I appreciate that you stopped by anyway.

Have you been reading their blog as well? I read there & enjoy it! They have other children as well now.

That's alright, Debra. That means I'll just have to check back in another day :)

No, I didn't know they have a blog! Aww I'm going to go check it out right now! I'm excited. Thanks, Jen, for the link!!!

Bailey, I "found it" a week or two ago when they showed this video at my church. I wrote a little bit about it on my blog, if you'd like to read more. :)

Jen - I went over to their blog last night. Pretty cool to see their two healthy children now. Thanks again for posting the link.

What a powerful video. I cannot watch it without getting a little teary eyed, which is much better than the first several times I watched it and sobbed the entire time.

What a great family. I have been following them since Eliot's birth and what a journey it has been. They just recently had their third child and I am so happy for them.

You can read their blog about Eliot's life here. It is beautiful.

layne~I showed my husband the video as well the other day & even he was moved. He was absolutely speechless which is rare for him. I have not gotten to a point where I only shed a few tears. I am still at the full-blown crying stage. What a sweet little boy to be gone from Earth far too soon!
