3 years ago, Jana Lynn and Quinn lost their little boy in a way so tragic it's almost unthinkable. Yet during their grief, they looked for ways to serve others. This is a story of the tragic loss of their son, the insurmountable pain they experienced, and how they turned tragedy into triumph.
Countless times during the meeting, planning, interviewing, filming and editing process, I had to stop because it became too emotional to handle. I have a little blonde haired 4-year old who I love more than anything, I couldn't comprehend losing her. It was hard to stop the tears as I tried to orchestrate this story.
It's not often you come across people so inspiring they literally inspire you to be a better person, but this is what I experienced working with this incredible family. I can't imagine the pain they went through losing their child so tragically, but it's a testament to the human spirit, the family bond, and the overflowing faith in a loving Father in Heaven that brought them where they are today.
Please watch with headphones on for full effect. Hope you enjoy it.
