Grab some tissues and remove all your mascara before you watch this video. It’s about a new mom named Kellie who was in a serious car accident 14 weeks after her son was born. Her husband AJ was killed on impact and her son Eli was severely injured.
Now, ten years later, she is thanking the doctors, nurses, emergency medical technicians and helicopter operators who helped save her son’s life by throwing a party in their honor and introducing them to Eli.
I am bawling at my desk.
Thanks to Jessica from Four Plus an Angel for showing me this video.
All the tears. I’m a blubbering mess at my desk. Thank God nobody else is here yet.
Dear god, I somehow managed to hold back the tears (not wearing waterproof eye liner or mascara) but they were fighting to stream down my face. This is so beautiful and refreshing!
My 2 yr old came to clam me down… She pat my back and said “it’s okay Mommy, it’s okay Mommy, I’ll be a good girl, okay Mommy”.
Oh my, so beautiful. I’m holding back my tears at my desk because I have to head into a meeting!
Aaaahhhh!!! Thank goodness I work from home… because I’m UGLY CRYING right now. This is so sweet. This mom is an incredible woman.
Eli’s mommy looks like Ellen Page.
What a wonderful story!!
Totally sobbing! And this is so close to home! I actually had my wedding reception where they had the thank you party (Winter Park Farmer’s Market)
You warned me, but I was still not prepared for this.
Oh my goodness, what an amazing story and an amazing mother. Thank you for sharing.
i hate you for this. Did I mention I am 38 weeks Preggo?
I read your disclaimer and watched the video anyway and now I’m crying all over my 9.5 week old baby!
Having a newish baby myself, this made me cry extra hard tears.
More medical staff should have the opportunity to be thanked in such a beautiful way!
I ignored the warning (thinking I’m not PMS’ing right now, I can be tough)… crying at my desk, yes.
And that woman who said ‘No-one has ever thanked me before’ .. broke my hard. So many amazing people in that video.
(broke my heart, not hard)
What an awesome story!!! As a nurse, we do have a very thankless job. Luckily I love what I do even though I rarely hear “thank you” from any patient. This definitely brought tears to my eyes.
This is beautiful and touched me very deeply. Medical teams are amazing. 4 days after my daughter was born my husband was hit by a car. I came way too close to raising her on my own. The trauma team that brought him back, the icu, the step down and even or followup doctors are amazing. I’m crying hysterically now, for what she went through and for my own memories from this year (it happened last Dec). However I’m inspired, if the teams are around in 9 years i want to do something like this. I need to go hug my family (though i know he is going to question why I’m sobbing)
i read the warning and thought “oh people always say stuff is going to make cry” and 99% of the time they are wrong but you and this video are part of the 1%. i am bawling like baby and i wanna go hug my son and never let go but sadly i cant he is in bed for the night.
First time that I leave a comment…I’m crying so bad ! Such a beautiful video and gesture !
Thank you…
This is so sweet! Tears.
I saw this pop up earlier in the day but waited till I got home and everyone was in bed before watching it… yep, bawling my eyes out. So beautiful, and such a beautiful gesture by the mother to thank these people who (as they said) were only doing their job.
In tears right now, such a beautiful and inspiring story of a wonderful mom. Saying thank you is such a big word and a simple word that gives a great impact on someone’s life.
Such an awesome video to share. Made me tear up pretty well. The nurse also made me realize how we take some of the people who help us granted.
