Have you seen this video before? What did you think? What impressed you most about Eliot's parents? Do you think you would be as strong as Eliot's parents appeared? What lesson can you learn from this video and our own loss here at Windsor High School?

I haven't seen this video before. I think it is a miracle. i don't think I would be as strong as them. I learned that you have to be strong.
I've never even heard of this video before. I don't believe in miracles but it is very lucky. I don't believe they are as strong as they appear in the video. I just think they have to look cheery and hopeful.
I have never seen this video. This is so sad that it makes you cry. If I was the parents, I could never be this strong. I would want my child to live happy and strong. You never know when somebody will be taken away from this earth. God knows everything that is going to happen and how long you will be on this earth.
I have never seen this video before. Eliot's parents appeared very strong and did the best they could to support their baby. Eliot was a tough little kid who fought everything the doctors said about him. I don't think I would be as strong as Eliot's parents. I wouldn't be even close to as strong as they were. They showed unbelievable strength and will. They loved Eliot and proved that they would do anything for their son.
I have never seen this video before. I do believe in miracles, and this is definitely one. I was impressed that they seemed very happy and optimistic his entire life. I'm not sure if I could be that way. This just shows that miracles can happen, but things can be taken from us very quickly also. It shows that we shouldn't take every day for granted. Something can change in the blink of an eye.
I have not seen this video before. I thought it was amazing. I was so impressed to see these people remain so strong. Yet I know that I could never be as strong as them. I think that we can all learn, that even in the face of something tragic, and so heart wracking, that being strong in the face of adversity is a necessity. And today is a day for those in Windsor who have stayed strong to help those who are at a moment of weakness right now get through this troubling time.
No I have never seen this video before. I love this video, Eliot's are strong. The fact that they are so strong, and that they never gave up on Eliot is what impressed me most. I have learned that, God takes people and gives people. It may be the sweetest girl or the rudest boy, but it touches us. God works in ways we may never understand. Windsor High may not smile today, but we will remember the memories we had not only with Savannah but with each and every love one we have lost in the past. Rest In Peace Savannah <3
I've never seen this video before. I know I couldn't be as strong as Eliot's parents if that was to happen to my son. You should cherish every moment of life because you never know when its your time to go.
I've never seen this video before. It was a miracle that he survived that long, but tragic that his life was so short. I wouldn't be as strong as his parents appeared, because the pain of losing my child would be too devastating and soul-shattering. You have to be strong; you may mourn the dead, miss the dead, but don't exactly pity the dead. Feel happy that they have passed on to a better place.
I have never seen the video before. The parents are very strong to cope like that. I bet they are worse when the camera is off. It can't ever be easy to lose a child. I don't know how strong I would be if I lost a child. You have to accept loss and realize no one you lost would want you to stay sad.
I have never seen this video and to be honest, I don't think I could ever watch it again after today. I have been crying nonstop since thirty seconds into the video. It was a miracle for Eliot to survive for 99 days. I have a cousin who was having twins and one of them was stillbirth, and that wound still hurts everyone in my family, but it still brings me great joy to know that one child got the blessing of spending 99 days here on this earth. There is no way I could be as strong as Eliot's parents; I barely made it through burying my dad two years ago, there is no way I could bury my own child. These past few years,I have lost so many people close to me and because of that I am trying to live my life as best I can, because we never know when the end will come for us.
Eliot's parents remained positive throughout the experience and celebrated everyday with him, rather than view it as a chore. They knew that he would not last long, but they cherished every 99 days. I would not be as strong as these parents appeared. When my grandmother was passing away, it was a pain to even watch my great grandmother (her mom) look at her and wish there was something that she could do. My great Grandma was not supposed to live past the age of 2 because of her serious case of asthma, but instead, she out lived two out of six of her children; and past away in her late 90's. A lesson that can be learned from this video, as well as the recent loss from Windsor High School, is to cherish every moment! Take advantage of every second and say the things you wish you had, or spend the time you have with a person with quality. Unexpected circumstances happen all of the time. In this video, a miracle happened; a newborn boy lived for over the guessed time. But that time went by too fast for his parents. They had to experience the death of a child, their child. Our bodies can be numb from disbelief. I still do not believe my grandmother has completely left me. She is still in my heart, but physically...she is gone. I remember having to take care of her some before she passed away. I couldn't stand to she her in a helpless position. She was not interested in food because she could no longer taste it, so asking her if she wanted anything was nearly worthless. I wanted the cycle, the phase, to be over already. But I did not want her life to be. I now regret feeling the way I felt and mentally wishing what I had. Be careful for what you wish for, there is always a twist. Take advantage of the time you have, and take advantage of the time others have. "Live like you were dying." --Best advice.
No, I haven't seen this video until now. I think that this mother and father are the greatest parents you could ever ask for. They would do anything for there son. They would have shifts from late at night to early in the morning. I hope when I have children of my own if that is to happen, I pray that I can at least be half as great as these parents. The lessons that you can learn from this video and this tragic accident that happened, is that life isn't earned, its given. It can all be taken away in a blink of an eye. Every day is a blessing to be alive and to be able to have a conversation with a friend, look at the sun rise, hear the birds chirp, and take a breath a of fresh air. That's what people can have taken away from them in the blink of an eye.
I have never seen this video before.I think this is very sad. I was impressed that her parents were so caring after they knew she had a problem, so they did everything they could to keep her alive. You learn u should hold on to someone for as long as you because you never know when you going to loss that special person.
I have not seen this video before. When I was watching this video it made me realize how valuable a day really is. Eliot's parents looked past their son's disabilities and celebrated his birthday every single day. It is amazing to see the hope and faith Eliot's parents kept despite the feeding tubes and oxygen tank that were keeping their son alive. Eliot Hartman Mooney is truely a fighter. I wish I could say I would be as strong as Eliot's parents appeared. If I was given the same circumstances I would not be able to keep my composure the way they did. I learned that I should not take every day and breath I take for granted. Every day is a blessing and every day should be celebrated.
This is a very touching video. He obviously had some complications at birth and it's probably best that he is now resting in peace. It's amazing how strong his parents are about it.
Barry B No i have never seen this video before. It was pretty sad but nice to know parents still taking care of him even though they know the problem. No matter the cost of keeping their son alive they are willing to take of him an get what he needs to survive. Idk what i would do in their situation. You never know when its your time to go.
No I have never seen it, it's very suprising. I could be as strong or not I wouldn't know. You can learn to find the silver lining in the cloud, and to find the good things and not to focus on the bad.
I am at a loss for words. This video brought me to tears and made me think about just how fragile life is. I hope to be as strong as Eliot's parents one day.
This video isn't familiar to me. But I think that this video has so many values to it. It tells you not to take any life for granted. His parents were very supportive through out all of his tubes, to know that their son lived is a blessing. The lesson learn here is that you don't take nothing for granted in life, like the saying says "Give people their flowers while they are here cause when they are gone its to late".
I have never seen this video before. The thing that impressed me the most was how strong they were, i could only imagine how hard it must have been for them to do all they did for Eliot. The lesson I have learned is don't take a single day for granted, because you never know what day will be your last.
I have never seen this video before. The video was very touching. What impressed me the most was how Eliot's parents never gave up. I would most likely be as strong as them. I learned to make the best of every single day no matter what from this video.
I Have not seen this video before. I think the video is very sad. The parents took the best care they could of Eliot Even though they knew he had very bad problems.Eliot's parents stayed very strong. I would not be as strong as Eliot's Parents. I learned that do not take everyday for granted because u never know when it will be your last.
I have not seen this video before. This video was sad. It is a miracle that their son lived that long. It impressed me how strong they were. I don't think I couldn't be as strong as Eliot's parents. Sometimes you have to be strong, especially during tough times.
I have not seen this video before. It is very sad and touching. The fact that the parents were doing so well and hoped for the best and stayed strong is incredible. I liked how they celebrated everyday as a birthday and him still being alive. Staying strong is always a good lesson but is very hard to do. I've tried hard this morning to keep myself together and be there for others. I have done okay with staying strong but that doesn't mean it was easy.
It's good to know there are still people out there like these parents. With all of the doubt they were giving, they still lived everyday with their son like it was the last. God works in weird ways & sometimes things happen that don't seem fair. Everyday you go through with all your loved ones and friends. No matter how much you fuss or fight be thankful every day you have with them.
Yes, I have seen this video. We had to watch this my freshman year. I think this story is very upsetting. I think this is an amazing story. I was impressed by his parents. I would never be able to be that strong. Everyone has to come together and be strong. You have to make the best out of all situations.
I have seen this video before. It is very sad. I think that this story is incredible. I don't think that I could be that strong. You need to treasure every moment as if it is your last.
Yes, I saw this last year. I think it's pretty awesome what they did. I don't think I could be that strong to know that my kid was going to die. I think it should be inspiring to people. Savannah will always be missed. She was just a great person who was always smiling and being nice to everyone. I think we should just remember the time we had with her and the time we enjoyed with her.
I have never seen this before. It certainly brought me to tears. I was incredibly impressed by their strength. I would never be able to stick it through that rut. Everyone is so supportive and comes together in a horrible situation and is touched by it. -Dixie G
I saw this video back when I took CIS, but it still touches me. Eliot and his parents had a very strong will and that's what filled them with so much faith in each other. It's hard for parents to have a baby born with any kind of difficulties, but it's such a miracle to prove doctors wrong. They cherished everyday that they had with their son because they never knew when it would be their last. That's how everyone should live. Not recklessly, but just happy to be alive. We should take in every moment and I feel like Savannah was that type of person. That's why she never failed to bring people up and she was never anything but happy from what everyone could see. Blessings come in all shapes and sizes and we should have faith in everything.
I think that this video is inspiring. The realization that life is precious and that they should celebrate his life rather than mourn his death is truly amazing. I think that we should do something similar to this for Savanna, in her memory.
I have not seen this video before. I'm glad I did though. I defintely believe in miracles. I am not nearly as strong as Eliot's parents. I learned that you shouldn't take your life for granted. Live your life like today's is your last day, because in the end, you never know when your life will be taken from you.
