99 Balloons

[mos323]

Rest in peace Eliot. Brave little soldier.

[pattinsonsfan]

sooo beautiful,and god bless you..

[mailhotmail]

@kojot49, @DrRazzberry

Actually abortion is legal through nine months. So yes they could have chosen to destroy the life of this child before he left his mother's womb and came into the world. We thank Jesus for these two beautiful parents who understood that no matter how small or how ill a human person is they are still willed by God to love, nurture and protect; no matter how long or short their time with us.

[DrRazzberry]

@mailhotmail surely jesus would have condoned compassionate death - minimize suffering if at all possible - some may argue keepin the child alive was a form of torture and in fact more in line with satan than the will of god

[kojot49]

@DrRazzberr They diagnosed a desiase 2 months before he was born,in 7th month of pregnancy, so the answer is no.

[DrRazzberry]

I have a question... Was there enough time for an abortion in this case? Honest question.

[Talentismyname101]

@DrRazzberry even if there was, there is no reason to abort. They chose to let this baby have a chance at life and let him fight this battle. An abortion would have been unfair.

[Shaereub]

@ryaan812 God is real. He creates life, and he gives everyone their own time on earth... Eliot's time however was 99 days. God is real as can be. If you think god isn't real then tell me how life (all life) began on earth.

[moniqueyangel]

@Shaereub I dont believe in god but i dont really care about who made the world..just as long as there is life... i also have no religion :)

[iceskater191]

To those 7 people who diliked this video!! Your a heartless butt and dont relize how hard it wold be to loose a child and how quicly live can be sucked away from your possesion!!! But anyway this video is sooooooo sad but I cant stop watching....

[Shaereub]

7 people are heartless.

[Talentismyname101]

@Shaereub yes they are.

[PureAngels19]

[sweetstuff1112]

[sweetstuff1112]

[Ryaan812]

[ac2584149]

I Watched This Video & Im 16 Year Old Girl Everytime I Watch This Video It Makes Me Cry Everytime : ( Eliot Was A Beautiful Baby Boy & As Much As I Wish He Could Have Lived Just A Little Longer . But God Gave Him The Chance To Live Life Just A Little (Dear Eliot You Are MY Hero) ...

[natey2k4]

Elliot accomplished more in his short life than I've done in my 24-years of living. Watching this video, watching this little warrior fight as hard as he did has inspired me to be a better person and try to accomplish something with my life. Elliot, you have inspired me. Thank you.

[lakdyl4220]

so sorry about your loss



[missneas]

thank you for sharing your son and the way God touched and impacted your lives with the world

[fashionablebratz]

Whoever dislikes this video has no heart it was one of the most beautiful videos i've ever seen

[Talentismyname101]

@fashionablebratz So true. This baby fought through the boundaries of medical science, proving all of those doctors wrong. Bless you, Elliot. Bless you.

[mochamegan123]

Dear Elliot,

My best friend's little sister just died about month ago at 5 years old. She lived a life with lots of tubes and surgeries in her life. Please take care of her.

Thank you

[mos323]

What a little hero.

[cuwenicu47]

in our NSTP (National Service Training Program) seminar yesterday, the speaker used this video to further explain the real meaning of commitment. after we watched this video, the speaker told us that his wife had a miscarriage of their first child that morning. it was just heart breaking. :(

[remyandlinguini]

This made me cry so bad. A touching story.

[iheartcastle3]

your son's fighting spirit is something i greatly admire. god bless him and your family.

[bmxkingmat]

im a 18 year old father to a 2 year old child, and im pretty sure if i lost my son, id be right up there with him right away, i love my son more then anything in the world <3

[Ayame247]

Awwwwww! I watched this video on Father's Day at one of my friend's church and I was on the verge of tears! TnT I can't ever imagine how it would feel to lose a child.

[funnyhead13]

this is very touching"sniff" "sniff" and sad

[KiingMEbeeACH]

Btw? Why is the category on Pets & Animals? Haha

[KiingMEbeeACH]

I had no urge to cry but I have to say u are very great parents! I hope to be as great as you two-3

[Jellythedog02]

This is so sad :(

God bless him and his family <3

He is so adorable too! <3333

[MrGiannispatra]

I hope you enjoy the 99 days with your beautifuul son. I just found the biggest proof --->There is no God ! I had it in my mind 2 years since my father dies and i am 19. If the this is God, i just dont wanna to believe to him.

[PotatoesOwn]

I~Can't~Stop~Crying! This is so sad, yet it gives a sense of peace. God bless your family and I hope others can be as touched as I am.

[Ciskalove]

Dear Eliot.

I'll let 99 balloons for you.

[larien23]

Beautiful. Thank you for sharing your precious son with the world. He is blesses to have parents as amazing as yourselves, and you are blessed to have such a perfect little man.

RIP little Eliot.

All my love and thoughts to the parents xxx

[SoKayy]

I never cry, but this video made me cry my eyes out. You parents are definitely an inspiration. Everything happens for a reason, that's why you were given Eliot was given to you. <33

[Hannah0167]

I just want to say god bless you to the parent. You had a beautiful child. This video Is so sweet.

[2011ALYSSALEE]

This is truely a miracle from God. This video is very sad but awakes the spirit of God inside me.

[gingerBenj]

i just watched chimpanze riding on a segway then watched this...i have very mixed emotions

[OrchidSnapDragon]

Who in their right mind would actually dislike this? You like that babies die before they can live their life? You people must seriously be messed up inside!

[mochamegan123]

@OrchidSnapDragon I think they disliked it cuz it was sad

[Swagganator1]

who the heck would dislike this smh ppl R.I.P eliot

[kitkatchism]

when i first saw this me, my mother, and my sister were all crying this is soo touching, this is the fourth time i watched this and i cried every single time

R.I.P. Eliot.......

[epicninjafriedchickn]

the first time i watched this i cried at the end. this is the second time i am watching this and im already crying at the first "dear eliot". so touching. so moving. it gives me hope. as sad as this is this only made the parents stronger. i feel as sense of pride in eliot's parents because they where strong enough to make it through the day and with a smile on their faces.

THANK YOU MR. & MRS. Mooney!!!! WE LOVE YOU!

R.I.P Eliot...

[dillsthename]

I want to thank the Elliot's father for making this video. I randomly came across it while on Youtube, and it has made a great impact in my heart. My husband and I are struggling to get pregnant, and the faithfulness of Elliot's parents in the midst of tragedy has given me renewed hope that God works in all circumstances. I know that's true of theirs, and I know that's true of mine.

[sdeep56]

we all love eliot and we are all devistaded!!! god bless u

[sarahwacasey7]

Can't help but cry real moving :'(

[StewpidCow]

3 people were so sad and their eyes were so blinded by tears they accidently hit the dislike button instead of the like

[TheBubbleFamily7]

aw i cried :(

[MileyPaparazzi]

i balled my eyes out.... best video in the world!!!!

[willowandterra]

What is the name of the song used?

[DirtyJewbz]

I teared uncontrollably. So happy, so sad.

[squidtacos47]

This video is absolutely beautiful. Eliot was a wonderful child of the most high God, and God doesn't make mistakes. Thank you so much for sharing this video, I think it creates an incredible message about the gift of life, and the gift of love from God.

God loves you so much, Eliot. And thank you God, for showing us such a beautiful creation.

[qqPropagandApp]

have fun with jesus!!!

[robingraves97]

:'( :'( :'(

[tikkatoo]

What a magnificent child, he showed that all life is precious and sacred.

[OfficialCass]

I can barely see as i'm typing this, for i have tears in my eyes. This is so sad but the way that family takes every day as a blessing is so inspirational.

[cottoncammie16]

This is so sad!!!

[webkinz290]

awww

[lalalandgirlify]

wow i cried through the whole video, its so touching how much they love him and u can see tht he loves them too even thou he was born deformed :'(

it just broke my heart :(

but it was amazing how long he lived, premature babies sometimes only live less than a month R.I.P Eliot and God bless your parents

[SlackerEntertainment]

R.I.P Waaaaa Now Im A Baby

[Mutnik85]

Sooo sad, beautiful little boy.... Only question why is the catogory "pets and animals"????

[Skipthebeat1]

why doesn't anyone ever thank the doctors or modern medicine?

[StarsAndSiteModels]

Rest iN Peace LiL 1<;[ Sad Vid.

[dragons309]

rest in peace heavens little angel

[uuamenator]

This is stupid.

[BrittanyHargestFan4]

@uuamenator you sir have no heart period

[uuamenator]

@BrittanyHargestFan4 Oh yes torturing an innocent child, dragging out his suffering as long as 99 days is very hearful indeed. Also deluding urself that this is 'GODS PRESCIOUS LITTLE CREATION' (and making videos about it (probably even being proud of what great parents you are)) when in reality its nature gone horribly, horribly wrong.

I guess for some people religion gives a way to cope with the shit of life, but it sure does it in weird ways. I wonder if these parents ever moved on

[EmeraldEllis]

@uuamenator

They chose to spend 99 days with their son rather than kill him just because he had a deformity....that sounds heartfelt to me. Every child is "GODS PRECIOUS LITTLE CREATION" and it is never okay to murder a child just because they have a genetic mutation. Rather than giving them no child at all, God gave them a child for 3 months, and that is an amazing thing.

[LEJDesigns]

@uuamenator r u mad or just jelly?

[ace123candy]

atleats hes in haven now

[Glassgothgirl]

beautiful boy :'(

[midnight5631]

i know i couldn't help crying but at same time am soo proud of what you parents have done for eliot and made every second of his life worthy on this planet, i know you believe eliot is in heaven with the gods but i as a buddhist believe that eliot will come back /reborn to you guys as you parents are unimagineably amazing and loving, wish you best of luck and god bless you. can't stop crying though.

[vampita]

Impressive couple. I take my hats off to you...whoever you are, you accept ur child no matter wat, and u make him feel special not many couple can do that even they had well infant. U look so proud..u shud be

.

[cadelaide]

I dont understand why all the tears and crying (aside from the parents and family of course). The infant wasn't meant to be, thats nature's way of telling us that something went wrong. When I see children at work like this I ask myself why do people try to buy the extra days or months with all the tubes and drugs at the expense of quality of life, prolonging life like this, just for the sake of it is unnatural, Its almost selfish. Sad but thats nature isn't always happy

[tamaragxoxo]

@cadelaide You are heartless

[cadelaide]

@tamaragxoxo I just look at life and death from a different perspective.

[tamaragxoxo]

@cadelaide What these parents did wasn't selfish at all. Most parents would want their children to live as long as possible.

[jakiechan72]

@cadelaide i agree

[rubirubi89]

@cadelaide my brother was born with with cerebral palsy, everything went so wrong after he was born that the doctors told my mom to just go home and pretty much wait for him to die. that was 24 years ago, just yesterday i went to buy my older brother his christmas present. that he opens himself every year. maybe not as coordinated as you and i could. but he does it very happily. and i love him very much.

[12ake25]

that is awesome. thanks for sharing we us all

[ajunx1986]

can't stop crying.eliot hartman mooney,GOD's little angel,came to the world to show His Miracles...

Goodbye My Dear son,God Bless you,my little angel.

[X4Valor]

To be honest, I cried through the whole video. Dear god I hope Eliot is with Jesus :'(

[shdubbleorti]

This is so sad! This video may be the only thing I have been able to see of the two of you but its enough to know that you two were great parents and I'm sure Eliot loves you for everything you have done. I don't think you could be any better parents and I applaud you at that.

[SEXYJUGGALETTED4L]

my niece has trisomy 18 . i pray for her each any everyday . she means the world to me and i know god will do his will . i just hope he heals her . shes my everything and i dont think i can stand to lose another person i care about. i love you emalee graycen <3

[andrewlytle70]

i havent cried in alog time i think since i was 13 and im now 14 and im actually crying its so sad...Eliot you are with god and be better up there than suffering down here. we all will see your soon..

[RoseHellings]

im crying as I type this:'( I cry every single time I watch this. I cant begin to descibe how beautiful, inspiring and amazing this video is. The parents are Hero's and Eliot is a true angel. RIP beautiful little boy, you will never be forgotten. :'( <3

[katiesme]

god bless elliot he was a blessed child!

[in2technicolor]

I cry every time I see this video. It's beautiful...

[pngtws]

This story is so sad... But I nvr cried, though I wish I did.. Although I'm not crying, my heart is. God bless!!

[TheSpooked]

I have watched it in school, but i wanted to watch it again as it was so touching.. I kept crying whenever i watch this.. Poor Eliot.. God Bless

[ktbethsaunders]

What a beautiful tribute to Eliot! Due to congenital abnormalities, we were told that our daughter, Ella Faith, would never make it to birth. Like Eliot, our little warrior fought her way into this world and lived for about 45 minutes. It was the most wonderful time of our lives!! Like you, we saw God's hand through our child!! Now both Eliot and Ella are with Jesus. Thank God for His salvation and our eternal hope! God bless your family!!

[tuga8492]

that was a great victory 99 days

is a very very very very good victory

he fights bether and harder than all of us tougehter

dear Lord i havent cryed for a long long time but this kid made it

[ReebHound]

=[ i cried.... sucks, i didnt think i would, being all manly and all

[TheJamile]

@ReebHound same here bud, same here...

[6021show]

Every life has a purpose and a plan for which God created it. Elliot's little life is touching the hearts of the world and reminds us that life is precious, life is fleeting, and our lives, no matter how long or short, are to glorify God. He alone knows and sees the bigger picture to our individual life stories. The Mooney family certainly embraced these truths in action. What a comfort to know that Elliot has now been made perfect in Him.

[taniahk]

omg this makes me so cry :'(

whats the name of the song from the back??

[billupsv]

This is the most beautiful thing a parent can do for they baby!!!!!

[THESMG95]

[shaula0pink]

[evelynacandy]

that should be a lesson for every couple which chooses an abortion instead of having a child no matter how weak it can be.
