99 Balloons: An Inspiring Letter from a Father to His Son

This is such an emotionally moving video done by a man to his son, Elliot, who was born with Trisomy 18. Eliot only lived 99 days, but his life touched so many.

Most parents who find out that their child has Trisomy 18 before birth choose to abort their baby. I applaud Eliot’s parents for choosing life.  Their choice allowed them the precious gift of their son. As his father says in the video:

“An underdeveloped lung,  a heart with hole in it and DNA that placed faulty information into each and every cell in your body could not stop God from revealing himself through a child who never uttered a word. Not a pulpit not a slick presentation not a best selling book, but a six pound boy with Trisomy 18. God found great pleasure to take a lowly thing in the eyes of the world and show truth.”

Please watch this tribute to their son.
