Tragedy struck for the Picco family, but before his son Lennon died, Chris Picco sang his son a touching Beatles tune.

I can't even wrap my mind around this story. Earth shattering and heart-breaking.

Chris Picco and his wife Ashely were expecting a beautiful baby boy which they named Lennon. During the pregnancy, Chris would play music to Lennon with his guitar.

Sadly, Chris' wife Ashely passed away in her sleep shortly after Lennon was delivered by emergency C-section at 24 weeks according to the YouTube discription.

Chris brought his guitar into the NICU and would play for Lennon, which he did for several hours.

This is Chris singing The Beatles song 'Blackbird' to his son.

Lennon died later on while sleeping in Chris' arms.
