Parents Jenna Gassew and Dan Haley hold their son Shayne just after his birth Oct. 9, 2014. He died a few hours later. |
A young Catholic couple from Pennsylvania created a bucket list for their unborn baby after they found out he was diagnosed with anencephaly, a rare and serious birth defect.
Knowing he would only live for a few hours after he was born, Jenna Gassew and Dan Haley attended a hockey game, a country concert, and went to the aquarium doing as many things as they could with him while he was alive. They documented it on a Facebook page that gained almost one million likes:
"You've taught us that life is fragile and that being a family means sticking together. You've given us hope and taught us to appreciate the little things in life. You've made a huge impact on this world and that is more than we could ever ask for," they wrote.Shayne was born Oct. 9 and died a few hours later. His funeral Mass will be held tomorrow.
