Father sings 'Blackbird' to dying son after wife dies during childbirth (VIDEO)



LOMA LINDA, Calif. -- A heartbreaking video of a father singing to his son will bring you to tears.

Chris Picco lost his wife, Ashley, following an emergency C-section to save their son.

Over the last few days of Lennon's life, Chris brought his guitar to the NICU and played for his son.

Baby Lennon, just 24 weeks old, passed away a few days later.

“Lennon’s lack of movement and brain activity was a constant concern for the doctors and nurses at Loma Linda University Hospital, where he received the absolute best care available,” Picco wrote. “During the pregnancy, Ashley would often feel Lennon moving to music so Chris asked if he could bring his guitar into the NICU and play for Lennon, which he did for several hours during the last days of Lennon’s precious life.”


A Memorial fund was set up for Chris to pay medical and funeral costs for his son and wife.
