Original video

A video of Chris Picco singing The Beatles’ ‘Blackbird’ to his dying newborn son, Lennon will touch your heart. When his wife Ashley tragically passed away in her sleep after delivering their son by emergency C-section at 24 weeks, Chris knew he needed to be there for their son in a special way. Ashley often felt their son moving to music, so she asked him to bring his guitar into the NICU and play for Lennon, and that’s exactly what he did. One day after the video was filmed, baby Lennon passed away in his father’s arms. Watch this powerful video above.
