In this time where there is so much evil, let us remind ourselves of the beauty of even the briefest life and the love it can bring.

A video of a father singing The Beatles’ “Blackbird” to his dying newborn son has touched and moved millions around the world since going viral.
The video features Chris Picco, who lost his 30-year-old wife Ashley Picco on Nov. 8 after an emergency C-section to save their unborn son, Fox8.com reported. Baby Lennon James Picco, was delivered at just 24 weeks, and passed away a few days later.
During the last few days of baby Lennon’s life, Chris brought his guitar to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and played for his son.
“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 description of the YouTube video said.
