Feb 11, 2019 by apost team

A father and son share a special bond that is unlike any other, but it can be difficult to define that bond with words. When one video of a father singing to his young son hit the Internet, it perfectly showed the emotional link that father and son share. However, there was more to this touching moment than meets the eye.

When Zach started singing to his drowsy, young son cradled in his arms, Zach’s wife reached for her smartphone to capture the memory.

He was singing “Boy” from Lee Brice, which has lyrics featuring a dad talking to his son. The lyrics talk about how stubborn and strong the son will be and how the boy will never back down from challenges.

These lyrics are meaningful for most fathers and sons, but they have a special added meaning for Zach and his son, Judah. Judah was born at 23 weeks. Severely premature, he weighed less than 2 pounds and had to endure several operations to stop bleeding on both sides of his brain.

This little boy faced serious challenges from his first day, and unfortunately, his challenges continue. Judah is deaf and suffers from cerebral palsy, so he will face health challenges throughout life.

As Zach’s wife recorded him singing, the father was clearly overcome with emotion from the meaning of the lyrics. Little Judah was a strong boy, and he would continue to stand up to his challenges for a lifetime.

Zach’s wife urged him to continue to sing despite trying to fight back years, and it is a good thing she did.

Although Judah is deaf, he could clearly feel the love that was shining down on him. He lifted his head up and beamed the sweetest smile at his father.

The video was posted online for others to enjoy, and it has generated an emotional response for many people.

Even Zach has to fight back tears each time he sees the footage of little Judah smiling up at him.
