A man in California lost his wife in an emergency C-section, his baby severely premature at only 24 weeks.

On a memorial fundraising page, Chris Picco explained his wife would feel their son moving to music. So Picco brought a guitar to the hospital to give his son his very own concert. You can see it here:

Unfortunately, Picco posted on the memorial site a day later, letting supporters know his son had also passed away.

The memorial fund, as of this writing, tops more than $150,000.

Another memorial site for Picco’s late wife explains that the two met while volunteering at Ground Zero after the September 11th attacks.
