99 balloons

I just had to share this video. I am still in tears. It brought me back to when Audrey and Ellie were born. Through that trial, my faith sustained me. Jesus was my strength and my comfort. This little boy's story brings me back...I am so thankful God allowed me to have my girls.

Elliot's father says it best:

If you have found yourself drawn to this story and not really knowing why, I humbly propose that my son is only a vehicle to proclaim a story greater than his own. There is someone who loves you with a love larger than ours for Eliot. There is one who takes you with all of your flaws and delights in all that you are. He sings over you when you sleep and hems you in while awake. He destroys the worth-measures of man and pronounces you worthy. He is Jesus. He is the only way we have made it thus far and our only hope for tomorrow.
