By divine intervention somehow a church service was recorded on my DVR and I watched it. At the end it showed the story of 99 balloons. I was in tears! This family had so much faith in God! If this happened to me would I have as much faith? it made me think for a moment. I just had a baby one year ago I looked at him for along time after this video clip. Am I praising God for all of the wonderful things in my life daily? or am I just going about things day to day... not giving much thought to anything. I was going to go on to school to get my master's degree and then after seeing this I realized I have already spent so much time in school and not enough time in the word or even with my family because all of my time is used up. I have realized after watching this that every day is so precious and I am tired of missing wonderful memories because I am to busy to share in them. Eliot was only here for a short while but, even this precious baby had an impact in my life. He came so that I may learn... learn that celebrating life is not dependent on how many days we exist on earth; it depends on what we do with the number of days we were given.

What a wonderful story, thank you so much for sharing about these beautiful and amazing babies. Our family just lost our precious Mallory (my niece) to Trisomy 18. I think the families have such amazing strength to get through this. We take comfort in each new day that this is only a temporary time and we'll be with her once again. Thank you again for sharing, it's comforting to know we have others to lean on.
Blessings,

Since September, I've followed several of these babies. I have a link on my page, too.

I can't watch. I miscarried a daughter who had a type of trisomy -- her egg was fertilized by two sperm so she had three sets of everything. She could have gone to term, but she couldn't have lived. I was told it was a blessing that I miscarried. It didn't feel that way.

Now I have a daughter to completely fill my arms. God has blessed me, and maybe one day I'll understand. Maybe I'll even meet my lost child(ren).

My husband and I provide a foster home for a young lady with trisomy 18. She justed turned 20. With all that I have been finding on the web about this syndrome, I am totally amazed that she is still with us. What a loving person she is. She wants hugs all the time, and always has a smile for us. She has also beat cancer which is not uncommon to have with this syndrome. What a blessing. She is teaching us so much every day.

WOW!! AMAZING!! You do need this tissues for this one!! What made it even more touching was the father telling the story. Seeing this family with the stroller, the nursery decorated, they were so ready and were waiting for this gift from God. And seeing the trust they put in God to get them through, and celebrating his short life on earth!! AMAZING. Thank you so much for sharing this!
