This baby girl was given more love in those 10 hours and 32 seconds than some children recieve in a lifetime, her parents made every moment of her life special and filled with love. I felt sad at the beginning of the video when they were given the information of her condition but by the end of the video I was smiling and happy for this baby because she was blessed with a life full of love, every single moment of her life was love💞
@@Terminxman nothing about these people seem selfish. God is the giver of life, and only he should decide the value of a life ,and how long each life is able to live on this earth. I'm so happy God didn't share your opinion on life. Have a good day, and enjoy the days of your life.
@@Terminxman all babies would die if God didn't provide someone to care for them,and feed them. You are entitled to your personal thoughts,and they have every God given right to love and care for the needs of their child. Children are a gift from God.
@@Terminxman dont be a buzz kill. If the baby is sedated and not conscious, it's not an issue to keep her on life support to help the family cope. You're trying to be all scientific cold hard fact so u feel superior but loving your child and wanting to protect it even when defying logic, is a biological mechanism too.
I simply cannot fathom the people who gave this video a thumbs down. It is one of the most uplifting dedications to life that I’ve seen. We are not loved because we are perfect little renditions of humans. We are loved from and by the heart and it does not see imperfection. It feels this tiny voice and these soulful spirited interactions before Grace became too tired to continue. She was escorted by people who love her still, to the place she now lives with her father above and these things cannot be forgotten. She lived a big life because her parents said “I can withstand anything for her and I will carry her as long as she is able” and for the people who cannot commit to that, it’s ok. These choices are hard and cannot be undertaken by every expecting parent. The choices made by others do not mean they did not love their child as much as Grace was loved. They loved their sweet babies every bit as much but each story is perfect and personal and right. Thank you for sharing and I feel I’ve been made a better person for Grace.
rochelle123ist that’s def your right...at least I hope it’s still a right, but I can see why Graces parents refused to let her go a minute sooner than they had to. It’s sad, all around.
People gave this video a thumbs down because those sad people cannot fathom the idea of an imperfect baby being born. Hence the continued push to abort babies with Down syndrome and many other health issues. Sick people who would rather murder an innocent child than sacrifice anything themselves.
Heartbreaking when the dad said the baby would kick and he’d push back on her feet, knowing “it’ll be the only time we’d ever be able to play with her.”
Beautiful.. My first baby was diagnosed with an encephalocele at 4 months. I too chose to carry her as long as the Lord would allow. I gave birth to her little 12 ounce body at 27 weeks. She was stillborn, but I got to hold her for hours. Her birth changed my life - I take nothing for granted and I realize that tomorrow is never promised. Macy Maree March 12, 1997. Thank you for sharing your beautiful story. God Bless your family.
God bless you for your wonderful choice. Your daughter know and she will be so glad to see you. If one day in heaven is as a thousand years, by the time she might be looking for you, you will be there.
I think you made a very brave choice that many couples wouldn’t be able to do. A child who is stillborn or will die shortly after birth is a scary thing to experience.
@@TheOfficialButthead I don't think that's a very wise or compassionate way to respond about someone's decision regarding their child's life. They made the choice that was right for them, in love.
This is so sad heart breaking grace born alive and after 10hours and thirty two mins begin held on her mom chest god love her mom dad and family graces angel
Your story is beautiful. I carried our daughter with anencephaly to 39 weeks 2 days. She lived 32 minutes in my arms. What you said about everyone saying you were brave and strong but you just felt like you were being a mother and loving your child, that is exactly what I feel as well. ♡
@Sue Burgess I can. Anencephaly happens when the top portion of the skull does not form properly, leaving the brain tissue only covered by a thin membrane and exposed to the amniotic fluid. Sometimes the only functioning part is the brain stem, which allows reflexes like breathing, suckling and responding to certain stimuli, but it doesn't cause any pain because the brain isn't developed enough for that. Life expectancy after birth can vary from minutes to weeks and sometimes a year or more.
@@snakebitepellehue wow living outside of the hospital with a child aging like that would be so hard... a year? I am not sure which would be best...more time with your baby ? I'm so emotional I couldnt handle it
I had a medical abortion at 16 weeks with my little girl due to anencephaly. This was in 1992. I have always regretted not being strong enough to have carried her to full term even knowing she would surely die, so that I could have at least donated her organs to save other babies. This video brought back so many buried emotions. You never forgot your children... I think about her all time.. even 30 yrs and 4 girls later....
Whether you carried to term or terminated it still is a 100% difficult choice. I choose to terminate for my mental health plus I was sick until the day I terminated. I never gained weight during my pregnancy. I lost 15 pounds extra and my depression was horrible too. But some days I wish I could feel my daughter’s feet against my belly again
Sorry. I meant to say YOU were very strong. I lived in a family with a severely handicapped child. The whole family suffers. It is not what some people want to portray.
Rarely can organs from Anencephaly babies can donated- they’re typically too small, weak, and underdeveloped especially if the baby was born alive and used them outside utero.
This video tore me up inside. To think of all the abortions and lostbabies that weren't loved or wanted. What a testimony of love and dedication to the preciousness of each life. See how our babies need their mommies and daddies? ?
I experienced this as well, one of my babies was lost at 13 weeks it was a very emergent-type miscarriage and I wish I would have been prepared... I really love the video ...what a beautiful way to honor Grace.
You were just SOOO RESPONSIBLE!!! Mostly to our Lord, Who had you have His tiny love for those precious moments!!!! All my appreciation! Congratulations for your daughter, whether she lives here or There! Thank you for setting such an example on how Humanity should do things! ❤️🙏🏼🎉
You are amazing for carrying your child full term. I have lost an older child so I understand the pain of child loss. Her memory will always live in your heart till you are reunited. May the Lord of all comfort give you both peace and hope and bless you with children in the future.
Your story is sad and beautiful. I had a full term still born baby boy. He was perfect. The autopsy showed that nothing was wrong with him. This was in 1979 and they didn’t show us our babies if they were still born. I wasn’t even allowed to go to the funeral. I missed him so much and had an anger that welled up in me because they took him from me. I am a Christian and the Lord has soothed my heart. I will see and hold my sweet Brady boy in Heaven, as you will your precious Grace. What a day of rejoicing that will be! Thank you for sharing your story.
Cindy Cagle , Gosh, I cant believe that the medical profession were so cruel at that time ! I mean we’re not talking about 1900 ! It makes me so angry and infuriated to hear this kind of thing, but it makes me even sadder for the mothers, like you . You must have gone through hell with your grief. If only doctors knew why it happens, stillbirth. Then it could be avoided. And It might at least give you some tiny amount of understanding about why it happened to you. Praying for you 💖
Cindy, when I was in my senior year of nursing school, we had a research class. My research was about finding the most helpful behavior/words from nurses & medical staff for a mom who lost a child while pregnant, experienced stillbirth or SIDS/other cause up to 6 weeks postpartum. That was in 1979-80. Letting mom hold her baby was a good thing. I’m glad obstetrics has advanced since then. I’m so very sorry for your loss & happy that you KNOW you will be with your baby again. May God continue to bless you with peace❤️
Cindy Cagle my son and his wife lost his only son. He and Natalie wanted a son so bad they named him Billy, after my son Bill. He live just a short time and Bill donated his organs to help other babies. Billie was cremated and it just tears my heart out each time I see the urn sitting on the mantel in the living room. Billie has a tree planted outside the living room window , in rememberance of his son. I am sorry you lost your son . Words cannot express my sorrow. They both are Angels now waiting for their families. May God be with you always. I want God to be with my son too. Sandy
Moogie B, this was 1979. I went to the hospital 2 weeks later and told them how wrong that was. We asked to see our baby. Now, it just makes me angry that they treated our loss this way. Something good came of this, though. A friend of mine had a stillborn baby a month later. The first thing that was said to her was, “ Do you want to see your baby?” I went to see her a month later. She had a baby book completed with pictures of all the relatives holding her baby, gathered around her and her husband as they held their son, and pictures of him a n several different outfits. They invested every second they could into their child, who they would never again see while on this earth. They were smiling through their tears. They were so proud of their boy! I am glad that the rules were changed and mamas and dads had an option.
That quietness during the sonogram when something is wrong...and you KNOW something is wrong...but no one will tell you anything is the most excutiating thing I’ve ever been thru. It’s a silence that feels like hours when it’s only minutes. It’s a silence that’s actually deafening. It’s a silence that reveals nothing and everything all at once. Bless these two people, the love they have for each other, and their precious Grace, who will live in their hearts forever. 🖤
AMEN and yes they will be together in INFINITY as I pray daily peace that passes all understanding in #ALL we do and in every breath we take in the name of Jesus amen #HOLYSPIRIT #FAITH #FAMILY is a miraculous bond that is on earth,as a blink of an eye,we try,we love,we cry, but eternity we WILL be PEACE INFINITY and until then, praying daily peace..
I'm a great grandmother watching this at 1 am while walking my dog. thank you so much for sharing your story with your beautiful baby grace. life is but a blink of an eye and you will b with your precious baby before you know it! there is more after death! energy doesn't die. my parents were married 73 years . dad passed away last year. s few days ago mother was. reading her devotions( she's very sharp). looked over her shoulder and my dad was there smiling at her!!! he came back to let us know there's life after death. after a minute he disappeared!!! we are blessed!!
Our child was diagnosed with encephalitis. His first breath was his last. I'm so glad for the 10 hours and 32 seconds you got to spend with your child. After that we had to adopt all four of our children. You guys look like you'll be great parents never give up on trying to be one
My heart was heavy watching this, but knowing little Grace is with Christ makes my heart happy again! Praying for you both to have God’s comfort and strength. ❤️
So precious you got to meet your daughter & chose to cherish her every moment instead of act like she was nobody. She was somebody to many other somebodies. I pray she has many younger siblings. Thank you for sharing your joy & tears with me. I definitely shared those tears.
My nephew was born with this. He was so perfect! My sister carried him to term. He lived 22 precious hours. I'll never forget how beautiful his face was. This was almost 35 years ago. My sister now wishes she had donated bis organs but she had so much going on and nobody came to her about it. She wishes he could have lived on helping other infants live.
@@TheOfficialButthead new borns are the most beautiful precious gifts. Getting to watch a baby grow is one of the most amazing gifts. They are beautiful.
2019came a cross this heart breaking video grace was crying when she was born so sad seeing that poor family poor mom grace had a lot of love so sad mom holding grace for ten hours and fifteen mins god bless that mom dad and family you have a angel in heaven looking down on you rip
My first born my son Isaiah Charles young was born with anencephaly. I was only 16 years old when I had my baby boy. He would had been 14 years old 09/08/2004 I was so d de depressed and young so I had been induced Isaiah lived for 30 minutes. He did wine he was moving I thought this was a miracle because the doctors said he will not live after birth. it never gets easier especially with the holidays and his birthday. My heart goes out to you sorry for your loss. Every time to time I don't know why I do this to my self but I watch videos like yours and it brings so much memories and I start to cry. So thank you for sharing your story.
And I love you, you are the first person I've seen who understands you can love someone you may never see or speak to, I get a lot of shit for it but I've learned in my 40 years if I get an urge, I listen. I saw you do just that. It's weird that certain instances for certain people, it's magical.
I cried as I watched your video! And yet my heart rejoiced that as a couple in this time of trial you chose to celebrate life no matter what that life looked like! God bless you and keep you as you move forward. I'm also saddened by the number of people who gave this beautiful video a thumbs down! You both are beautiful spirits before God.
It really takes a special kind of person to be able to make happy memories for their daughter while feeling that grief at the same time. This is so beautiful..
from the moment of conception a life is formed. regardless of the length they spend out of a mama's body, it is a meaningful life that deserves to be cherished and loved. God has a very special place for people like you two. thank you so much for giving Grace life, and all the love she deserved. 💕🙏🏻
This is heart wrenching. I could never image the lose of one of my children. I wouldn't wish this type of pain on my worst enemy. God has a plan for you.
Faith and unconditional love gave these parents the strength to fulfill Gods plan for this baby.I believe in my heart of hearts that they will see her again.God bless them
Absolutely amazing people. Grace is an angel, her Energy will live with both of you forever........God!!.....i am fighting tears to write this!!....... BLESSINGS AND A BIG HUG!!

There are only tears of happiness for this family. God bless you all for loving this precious gift. You will see her again some day.
I use the onions a lot but these are so sad I admit to bawling like a baby, no onions for me here. Too close to home. Condolences to the little ones family. RIJA little one.😢😭😢😭😢😭😢😭😢😢😭😢
Ty for sharing ur story. U both are beautiful, loving ppl and parents. What u chosed to do by giving ur daughter the love and precious time with u is beyond love. God bless you. And im so sorry u couldnt have more time with ur precious daughter, may she always rip.
This touched my soul! Beautiful people to take something so heart breaking and turn into a beautiful love story. This is what we need in our world. God bless you! 🤗
I’m literally balling. I never realized how much I take life for granted and now I know that I can’t take life for granted. Thank you for your story it was amazing.
Dignity. Every life should end with dignity, love and respect. Warm in your mothers loving arms. Not torn apart and pulled out piece by piece. It's not about religion. It's about the respect every human being deserves.
let's not make this prolife vs prochoice here. Not everyone can be as strong as this couple and that doesnt make them monsters or bad people...if the story were different and the person was a child that was raped would you still expect them to carry and birth the child? No.
@@lastinglife4357 ARE YOU 5 YEARS OLD AND DONT UNDERSTAND WHAT RAPE IS?! rape is being FORCED to have sex against your will..being penetrated against your will. You dont have a say in using protection or even having sex at all. RAPE IS NOT THE VICTIMS FAULT WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU, you are sick.
@Joi Akhom NO lmfao. Are you gunna tell the victim NOT to abort her baby if that is her choice? That's where the double standard arises. I have absolutely 0 issue with someone keeping their child regardless if they were raped if that is THEIR choice. I dont condone however forcing a woman to carry the product of a rape if she doesnt want to and be traumatised because of it. See the difference? Prochoice is NOT proabortion but rather the choice for every person to decide what is best for themselves and their body!
It’s so wonderful that you guys wanted to carry your baby to birth, even tho the doctors told you her life would not be viable. I know you will forever cherish those 10 1/2 hours that she was in your lives. Your baby felt love until the very end. A true blessing from God.
Isla Reyne I agree- they were lovely to hear, but I wish while they were recording this, they could have included some visual footage. It would have been lovely to have seen this beautiful angel living and moving too. ❤️❤️
Calascibetti Platania You’ve never heard that before have you? I hope you never do! Grace was actually just making involuntary noises it’s part of the condition but they aren’t in distress, she was content and in no pain!
Thank you for sharing this most Blessed moments of your beautiful family. Your story has somehow uplifted my troubled soul and brought me peace. Just seeing your unwavering faith! Wow! Amazing! Grace!🎀🙏 Thank you
Oh, what beautiful people you are! I'm so happy for you that you had that incredible 10 hours and 32 minutes, now a part of history forever and making the world a better place. An extraordinary story of pure love and courage. Short or long, a beautiful life is a beautiful life, and so precious. Thank you!
This is such a sad story and yet it is beautiful at the same time. The most important thing that their child will get is love, and that's all she needs. Her life on earth was short, but now she can skip with the angels and will always be in the hearts of all those around her.
Grace Elisabeth is now in the arms of God and the angels...if only there were more loving and caring parents like you two...this world would be a better place!!! I have a daughter with Downs Syndrome and is such a joy to us!!! God bless you!!
Star, even if that were right, the 'obvious' is not always the right thing to state, even if, as so many aggressively assert, you're 'entitled' and 'have the right' to do so. She was perfect by her parents' subjective perception/standards, if not by biology's or society's. And no need to be hostile by using the term 'fucking idiot'. There's nothing in this video meriting such bluntness or such an aggressive written impression. If Star Anna is this baby's mother, would you say that to her face, in that way, if you met her in person? No - you would be taken to task for it by whoever was also there, and everyone would just walk away - so don't say it online, either. People are real online as well.
What wonderful parents to have, you jumped in the deep end of the pool of parenthood and swam with your daughter like pros. I wish you a household full of happiness and love. There are more children waiting on your love I'm sure of it.
you guys are such a blessing to so many..may God bless you again..I am a 62 year old grandmother of 3 amazing grandchildren..I have only 1 daughter and I pray everyday for my family..you guys are added to my daily prayers
So beautiful I'm glad you got to hold her for the 10 hours she lived I'm sure she knows how much you guys loved her and I know she is looking down on you guys. It's okay to cry and miss your baby girl just remember that one day she will be waiting for you guys on the other side .
Lovely tribute to your beautiful baby girl grace you got to hold her for the ten hours that she lived she was loved so sorry for her mom dad and family she is your angel watching over her family
The story of this lovely young couple and their Grace made me cry. So sorry for your loss, but know that Grace was here long enough to know how very much she was loved.
I am deeply so sorry for your loss her little sound was the most precious sounds I ever heard this broke my heart babies deserve the chance to grow up feeling that love from all of the family you are so strong both of you I honestly couldn't even imagine something like this happening to my baby I wouldn't know how to move on! Prayers and blessing being sent your way 💘💕 RIP Grace!
I am sorry for your loss. I also had a baby with anencephaly. 4/1/85. I had a c-section, my husband, our families were in the waiting room. A man walked by carrying a picnic type basket. Families were unaware the baby was in there. We were not given the opportunity to ever see him. We attended the same church as the delivery / surgical nurses. They baptized him in the 5 minutes that he lived.
I just found this video and it’s sad, but beautiful in the same way I’m so very sorry for the loss of your baby girl. But she’s in no pain anymore and she’s free.
This child had a life knowing nothing but love 🙏❤️ may God bless this family
This baby girl was given more love in those 10 hours and 32 seconds than some children recieve in a lifetime, her parents made every moment of her life special and filled with love.

Except the baby had no consciousness whatsoever, literally no cognition, no feelings. So keeping it alive was only done out of selfishness

They both are Angels now waiting for their families. May God be with you always. I want God to be with my son too. Sandy
Moogie B, this was 1979. I went to the hospital 2 weeks later and told them how wrong that was. We asked to see our baby. Now, it just makes me angry that they treated our loss this way. Something good came of this, though. A friend of mine had a stillborn baby a month later. The first thing that was said to her was, “ Do you want to see your baby?” I went to see her a month later. She had a baby book completed with pictures of all the relatives holding her baby, gathered around her and her husband as they held their son, and pictures of him a n several different outfits. They invested every second they could into their child, who they would never again see while on this earth. They were smiling through their tears. They were so proud of their boy! I am glad that the rules were changed and mamas and dads had an option.
She will be the little girl standing there in Heaven welcoming you home. Oh, what a day that will be!
God bless you all
Oh yes she will be waiting for them no doubt about that
mkmason2002 YESSSSSSS❤️❤️❤️❤️
That quietness during the sonogram when something is wrong...and you KNOW something is wrong...but no one will tell you anything is the most excutiating thing I’ve ever been thru. It’s a silence that feels like hours when it’s only minutes. It’s a silence that’s actually deafening. It’s a silence that reveals nothing and everything all at once. Bless these two people, the love they have for each other, and their precious Grace, who will live in their hearts forever. 🖤
So beautiful. May God bless them with many children.
Carmina Gutierrez Amen.
Amen. Grace will be waiting to meet them someday.
AMEN and yes they will be together in INFINITY as I pray daily peace that passes all understanding in #ALL we do and in every breath we take in the name of Jesus amen #HOLYSPIRIT #FAITH #FAMILY is a miraculous bond that is on earth,as a blink of an eye,we try,we love,we cry, but eternity we WILL be PEACE INFINITY and until then, praying daily peace..

Born on my birthday may your heart be comforted! Praying for you always 🙏
I'm a great grandmother watching this at 1 am while walking my dog. thank you so much for sharing your story with your beautiful baby grace. life is but a blink of an eye and you will b with your precious baby before you know it! there is more after death! energy doesn't die. my parents were married 73 years . dad passed away last year. s few days ago mother was. reading her devotions( she's very sharp). looked over her shoulder and my dad was there smiling at her!!! he came back to let us know there's life after death. after a minute he disappeared!!! we are blessed!!
I had my second baby 5 months ago, this made me bawl my eyes out. Prayers to the parents and baby Grace
Our child was diagnosed with encephalitis. His first breath was his last. I'm so glad for the 10 hours and 32 seconds you got to spend with your child. After that we had to adopt all four of our children. You guys look like you'll be great parents never give up on trying to be one
My heart was heavy watching this, but knowing little Grace is with Christ makes my heart happy again!
Praying for you both to have God’s comfort and strength. ❤️
Sorry for the loss of your beautiful baby daughter 😟☹️🦋 your video was wonderful and she now knows your love
this baby got more love in 10 1/2 hrs, than most kids get in a lifetime. thank you for that. may she rest in peace. may God give you both more babies
Sharon Daly you are right I agree with you
So precious you got to meet your daughter & chose to cherish her every moment instead of act like she was nobody. She was somebody to many other somebodies. I pray she has many younger siblings. Thank you for sharing your joy & tears with me. I definitely shared those tears.
Faith or not ... an absolutely heartbreaking story. The courage it took to share this journey and to carry on, is beyond measure.
My nephew was born with this. He was so perfect! My sister carried him to term. He lived 22 precious hours. I'll never forget how beautiful his face was. This was almost 35 years ago. My sister now wishes she had donated bis organs but she had so much going on and nobody came to her about it. She wishes he could have lived on helping other infants live.
Newborns babies are not beautiful let alone one with this disease
@@TheOfficialButthead you are a monster
@@TheOfficialButthead new borns are the most beautiful precious gifts. Getting to watch a baby grow is one of the most amazing gifts. They are beautiful.
@@getfitwithkatelyn haha no, a screaming baby that looks the same as any other is not that beautiful
@@TheOfficialButthead You need help. Harassing people like this is wrong. If you don't like these videos, don't watch them. It's not that hard
That baby saw your face and new love. God Bless
2019came a cross this heart breaking video grace was crying when she was born so sad seeing that poor family poor mom grace had a lot of love so sad mom holding grace for ten hours and fifteen mins god bless that mom dad and family you have a angel in heaven looking down on you rip
Wonderful, awesome comment!
What a wonderful way to celebrate her short life. I lost multiples at 12 weeks. I'd have loved to have met them all.
I am so sorry.
Condolences to you and your family. My heart aches for you. May God comfort you.☄💔💔💔💔😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
God bless you and all the parents on these threads.
My first born my son Isaiah Charles young was born with anencephaly. I was only 16 years old when I had my baby boy. He would had been 14 years old 09/08/2004 I was so d de depressed and young so I had been induced Isaiah lived for 30 minutes. He did wine he was moving I thought this was a miracle because the doctors said he will not live after birth. it never gets easier especially with the holidays and his birthday. My heart goes out to you sorry for your loss. Every time to time I don't know why I do this to my self but I watch videos like yours and it brings so much memories and I start to cry. So thank you for sharing your story.
Just so sad and beautiful at the same time. Bless them. 🙏
May God bless you wonderful people. Grace is smiling down upon you now.
Grace is in Heaven with our Father. This story is so inspiring.
Grace is whole in Heaven. Completely healed💝
Very true and well said💝
That makes no sense.
My nephew lived till 8 years old rest in peace baby boy
An absolutely beautiful but gut wrenching story. Ten hours and thirty two minutes filled with a lifetime of memories. Rip Grace. Xxx
You are beautiful parents !! She is LOVE !! And Love never dies !! Your story helped so many. God Bless You .
Moved me so much!!! Thank you Baby Grace. Parents you are astronomical. Love and prayers...Jess
OMG I COULDNT HELP BUT CRY. THATS A FIRST. THANK YOU FOR YOUR STORY. From one human being to another...I love you.
And I love you, you are the first person I've seen who understands you can love someone you may never see or speak to, I get a lot of shit for it but I've learned in my 40 years if I get an urge, I listen. I saw you do just that. It's weird that certain instances for certain people, it's magical.
I cried as I watched your video! And yet my heart rejoiced that as a couple in this time of trial you chose to celebrate life no matter what that life looked like! God bless you and keep you as you move forward. I'm also saddened by the number of people who gave this beautiful video a thumbs down! You both are beautiful spirits before God.
It really takes a special kind of person to be able to make happy memories for their daughter while feeling that grief at the same time. This is so beautiful..
You gave your baby your complete love in the time you had her. God bless you and your family. 🙏
from the moment of conception a life is formed. regardless of the length they spend out of a mama's body, it is a meaningful life that deserves to be cherished and loved. God has a very special place for people like you two. thank you so much for giving Grace life, and all the love she deserved. 💕🙏🏻
This is heart wrenching. I could never image the lose of one of my children. I wouldn't wish this type of pain on my worst enemy. God has a plan for you.
Faith and unconditional love gave these parents the strength to fulfill Gods plan for this baby.I believe in my heart of hearts that they will see her again.God bless them
I'm full of emotion at your story. You two narrated so lovingly, and honored God by being the parents that He had intended for sweet Grace.
God bless you both grace is an angel now she felt and seen more love in 10 minutes than most kids ever feel ...prayers are with you all
You'll see her again some day, but she's with our Lord and Saviour now....nothing could be better than that. God bless you and little Grace.
Beautiful Parents and beautiful daughter. Your daughter was truly blessed to have such loving parents!!!
Blessings to that beautiful baby,mom and dad. Grace will be waiting for you with open arms and thanking you for all the LOVE you gave her.
Father, thank you for blessing them! I know Grace is with you. Such joy when they are all together in your presence one day!
Merry H Amen

God bless!!! Thank you for loving your baby enough and for standing in Gods grace enough to choose life! You’re an inspiration!
...you are exactly the angels on earth she needed in her journey here on earth! Thank you for sharing your story. ❤
This is so touching... Who's cutting the onions?!?!😭😭
gretchen ortner
Idiot.
I use the onions a lot but these are so sad I admit to bawling like a baby, no onions for me here. Too close to home. Condolences to the little ones family. RIJA little one.😢😭😢😭😢😭😢😭😢😢😭😢
Ty for sharing ur story. U both are beautiful, loving ppl and parents. What u chosed to do by giving ur daughter the love and precious time with u is beyond love. God bless you. And im so sorry u couldnt have more time with ur precious daughter, may she always rip.
This touched my soul! Beautiful people to take something so heart breaking and turn into a beautiful love story. This is what we need in our world. God bless you! 🤗
I’m literally balling. I never realized how much I take life for granted and now I know that I can’t take life for granted. Thank you for your story it was amazing.
Dignity. Every life should end with dignity, love and respect. Warm in your mothers loving arms. Not torn apart and pulled out piece by piece. It's not about religion. It's about the respect every human being deserves.
let's not make this prolife vs prochoice here. Not everyone can be as strong as this couple and that doesnt make them monsters or bad people...if the story were different and the person was a child that was raped would you still expect them to carry and birth the child? No.
@@Piinkstar17 If you're not raped DONT GET AN ABORTION. USE PROTECTION OR BE AWARE OF CONSEQUENCES.
So beautifully said, thank you for texting to her Mom and Dad. Love to you from Linda Texas
@@lastinglife4357 ARE YOU 5 YEARS OLD AND DONT UNDERSTAND WHAT RAPE IS?!
rape is being FORCED to have sex against your will..being penetrated against your will. You dont have a say in using protection or even having sex at all. RAPE IS NOT THE VICTIMS FAULT WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU, you are sick.
@Joi Akhom NO lmfao. Are you gunna tell the victim NOT to abort her baby if that is her choice? That's where the double standard arises. I have absolutely 0 issue with someone keeping their child regardless if they were raped if that is THEIR choice. I dont condone however forcing a woman to carry the product of a rape if she doesnt want to and be traumatised because of it. See the difference? Prochoice is NOT proabortion but rather the choice for every person to decide what is best for themselves and their body!
You are such a special couple who gave Grace the love and closeness she deserved. It’s devastating to lose your baby my prayers are with you. Xxx
Wow, what a touching story. Choked me up, and that doesn't happen very much.
It’s so wonderful that you guys wanted to carry your baby to birth, even tho the doctors told you her life would not be viable. I know you will forever cherish those 10 1/2 hours that she was in your lives. Your baby felt love until the very end. A true blessing from God.
Omg her little coos that were recorded really get me.
Isla Reyne I agree- they were lovely to hear, but I wish while they were recording this, they could have included some visual footage. It would have been lovely to have seen this beautiful angel living and moving too. ❤️❤️
@@calascibettiplatania5951 you are ignorant..karma awaits
@Amanda Somma only a heartless monster could say such a thing
Calascibetti Platania You’ve never heard that before have you? I hope you never do! Grace was actually just making involuntary noises it’s part of the condition but they aren’t in distress, she was content and in no pain!
so beautiful - so loving, no words but: God is good ALL the time. what a love story
So sad, touching, amazing, and heartbreaking all at the same time.
You are the best people I have ever seen!! Glad you opened your heart and showed the true meaning of love. Thank God For Grace
Wonderful story a baby is a baby from beginning to birth! The lil bundle of joy!
Im very sorry about Grace my condolences to you and your family! She sure touched everyones ♥ heart 🌹
Thank you for sharing this most Blessed moments of your beautiful family. Your story has somehow uplifted my troubled soul and brought me peace. Just seeing your unwavering faith! Wow! Amazing! Grace!🎀🙏 Thank you
What a touching story. Life does matter, life is precious to the Lord.
Oh, what beautiful people you are! I'm so happy for you that you had that incredible 10 hours and 32 minutes, now a part of history forever and making the world a better place. An extraordinary story of pure love and courage. Short or long, a beautiful life is a beautiful life, and so precious. Thank you!
You didn’t show her face but I bet she was the most beautiful angel on this earth 💗💗
Beautiful love story, a family of God with a beautiful angel ❤️
Thank you for sharing your story. 10 1/2 hours is a life .......lived in love.
This is such a sad story and yet it is beautiful at the same time. The most important thing that their child will get is love, and that's all she needs. Her life on earth was short, but now she can skip with the angels and will always be in the hearts of all those around her.
Grace Elisabeth is now in the arms of God and the angels...if only there were more loving and caring parents like you two...this world would be a better place!!! I have a daughter with Downs Syndrome and is such a joy to us!!! God bless you!!
My Allissabeth Grace made it 6 hours. I'm glad I got to hold her in my arms for those hours,my perfect translucent Angel.
@Star
There's ALWAYS a mean, rude person, who ALWAYS is negative, for some reason you have to hurt others to feed your own dark heart.
@@StarAnnasDream ❤️❤️❤️
she's in heaven now and she'll be there waiting for you! sending you strength, blessings and love!
Star, even if that were right, the 'obvious' is not always the right thing to state, even if, as so many aggressively assert, you're 'entitled' and 'have the right' to do so. She was perfect by her parents' subjective perception/standards, if not by biology's or society's. And no need to be hostile by using the term 'fucking idiot'. There's nothing in this video meriting such bluntness or such an aggressive written impression. If Star Anna is this baby's mother, would you say that to her face, in that way, if you met her in person? No - you would be taken to task for it by whoever was also there, and everyone would just walk away - so don't say it online, either. People are real online as well.
How heartbreaking! Such a sweet, loving, long lasting experience you had with your short time with her. 💔
Beautiful story... brought me to tears knowing people like this still exist!! Xx PS- I'm Elizabeth Grace ;)
What wonderful parents to have, you jumped in the deep end of the pool of parenthood and swam with your daughter like pros. I wish you a household full of happiness and love. There are more children waiting on your love I'm sure of it.
Rest in peace sweet angel. Prayers to her parents
you guys are such a blessing to so many..may God bless you again..I am a 62 year old grandmother of 3 amazing grandchildren..I have only 1 daughter and I pray everyday for my family..you guys are added to my daily prayers
God bless you, good parents! You have an angel in heaven, waiting for you! 😇😇😇
Being a parent isn't a choice it's an act of will. Be it a life time or a fleeting second you are a loving mom and dad. God bless xoxo
Molly Mayor That was a really nice comment ♥️🙏
So beautiful I'm glad you got to hold her for the 10 hours she lived I'm sure she knows how much you guys loved her and I know she is looking down on you guys. It's okay to cry and miss your baby girl just remember that one day she will be waiting for you guys on the other side .
Lovely tribute to your beautiful baby girl grace you got to hold her for the ten hours that she lived she was loved so sorry for her mom dad and family she is your angel watching over her family
This little Angel was blessed to have you as her mother and father.
Sending you all so much love! What a precious gift from God 💗
The story of this lovely young couple and their Grace made me cry. So sorry for your loss, but know that Grace was here long enough to know how very much she was loved.
This was the most touching, beautifully filmed story. I really tried not to cry. 🙂
That sweet little baby girl is soo blessed!!
I am deeply so sorry for your loss her little sound was the most precious sounds I ever heard this broke my heart babies deserve the chance to grow up feeling that love from all of the family you are so strong both of you I honestly couldn't even imagine something like this happening to my baby I wouldn't know how to move on! Prayers and blessing being sent your way 💘💕 RIP Grace!
I am sorry for your loss.
I also had a baby with anencephaly. 4/1/85. I had a c-section, my husband, our families were in the waiting room. A man walked by carrying a picnic type basket. Families were unaware the baby was in there. We were not given the opportunity to ever see him. We attended the same church as the delivery / surgical nurses. They baptized him in the 5 minutes that he lived.
Jeannie, I’m guessing that one act of compassion made your horrendous situation a tiny bit better. Thank God for the nurse who baptized your baby.
I feel so Sorry.. 😭😫 ..but I know you allways have Grace in your heart, and she been with you all Day & night 🤗😘❤❤❤ greetings from Sweden
Hey my grandparents are from Sweden so ya, greetings from Sweden!!
I just found this video and it’s sad, but beautiful in the same way I’m so very sorry for the loss of your baby girl. But she’s in no pain anymore and she’s free.
