VIDEO: Parents Capture Ten Precious Days with Newborn Son Before He Sadly Passed Away

So heartbreaking.

Rebecca McKnight

Josh and Robyn Blick discovered, when she was 20 weeks pregnant with her fifth son, that he had Edwards Syndrome, a genetic disorder that results in internal abnormalities.

Doctors didn’t even expect him to survive the pregnancy never mind the labour but, against all odds, he did. Zion Isaiah Blick was born on January 11th 2014. He weighed just 4 lbs 7 oz.

Ten days later he sadly passed away but before he did, his parents made sure to capture every moment they could for a touching video.

It moved so many people that they started to comment on it. These tweets, accompanied by the hashtag #iheartzion, also made it into the video.
