'Aren't We ALL Different?': Heartwarming Video of Big Brother Singing to Baby Brother with Down Syndrome Goes Viral

Cassy Fiano-Chesser : Jan 6, 2020  LiveAction.org

While doctors frequently give worst-case scenarios for families expecting children with Down syndrome, the truth is, advances in science and medicine have meant that there has never been a better time to have a child with Down syndrome. People with Down syndrome are living longer, healthier, more independent lives than ever before, and virtually all of them report being happy with themselves and their lives ... parents and siblings alike overwhelmingly report that their family member with Down syndrome had a good effect on their lives.

[LiveAction.org] The sweet bond of two brothers was on full display in a video that's gone viral on Facebook. In it, a loving big brother cradled his newborn brother, who has Down syndrome, and sang Dan + Shay's "10,000 Hours" to him. It's yet another poignant reminder that love doesn't count chromosomes.

The boys' mother, Nicole Powell, posted the video in December. "This is how Rayce bonds with Tripp," she wrote on Facebook. "He sings to him all the time. He swears this song is about him and his brother. He's singing, 'I'd spend 10,000 hours, and 10,000 more if that's what it takes to learn that sweet heart of yours. I might never get there but I'm going to try if it's 10,000 hours or the rest of my life, I'm going to love you.' Love doesn't count chromosomes, or as Rayce says, 'Aren't we all different?'"

In an interview with local news affiliate THV11, the Powells explained the difficult process of getting to the happy place they are now, with doctors saying Tripp would have a very poor quality of life: "They recommended we terminate the pregnancy, and I said absolutely not," JJ Grieves, Tripp's father, said. And he hopes that Rayce's example will help other people learn to become more accepting. "He's the same as the rest of us," Grieves said. "He just takes a little longer to learn, a little more caring, a little bit more loving, but isn't that what the world needs?"... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
