Heartbreaking, Dad Sings “Blackbird” By The Beatles To Dying Son [VIDEO]

Dad, Chris Picco sings a beautiful song to his dying new born. So sad, and so beautiful.

The newborn's name is Lennon James Picco, he was delivered by emergency C-section. His wife Ashley Picco tragically passed away in her sleep after childbirth.

Lennon's lack of movement was a constant concern for the doctors and nurses at Loma Linda University Hospital. But, during the pregnancy, Ashley would feel her unborn child moving to music.

Knowing that, Chris asked if he could bring his guitar into the NICU and play for for his son Lennon, which he did for several hours during the last days of Lennon's precious life.

They recorded the video of him sing 'Blackbird' by The Beatles.

The very next day Lennon went to sleep in his daddy's arms.

The caption on his Facebook reads:

"Dear friends, family, and supporters; it is with an unbelievably heavy heart that I write this. My little fighter, Lennon James Picco went to sleep in his daddy's arms late last night. He was surrounded by family, friends, and the best doctors, nurses and hospital staff in the world. He was dressed in an outfit that Ashley bought for him, with little guitars on it, and wrapped in a blanket made by a dear friend. I am so thankful for the four unforgettable days I got to spend with him. His mommy would have been so beyond joy to see him and to hold him, touch him, bathe him, sing to him - as I have had the privilege of doing. I have been so blessed and honored to love him before he was formed, to cherish him while mommy carried him, meet him face to precious face, and hold his perfect little body while we said "goodbye for now". There are no words, but I wanted to keep you updated, as your love and support has meant more than anything in the world. All you need is love."
