99 Balloons

I always thought 99 (red) balloons was a rather cheesy song from the 1980s. Well it still is. At the same time, however, it is also the title of video that will bring a tear to even the hardest of hearts. I'm posting this here in this blog because I believe it to be very relevant to the discussion going on right now in Ireland. Matt & Ginny Mooney could have made the decision to end the life of their son Eliot before he was born, with his so called "abnormalities" he would never grow up to what the world describes as greatness. He was for his short life precious to them, more precious than if he won Olympic Gold and went on to lead his country.
 I went to hear Matt speak earlier tonight, the man has a great gift.
 
Not viable for life eh? Listen to Matt Mooney and learn differently. Check out the Mooney's blog.
