They were not told that they would get 99 days with this child and these precious days would change them forever. Through the sleepless nights, an unrelenting desire for answers, and the frightening reality that slides in where optimism once resided, Matt and Ginny walked with family and friends through the life and death of their first born son.

The story of Elliot was featured on Oprah and the Today show. A video of his life was watched by millions on Youtube. But the story of Elliot's life and death is not the end of this journey. Through the impact of his life, a legacy has continued.

A Story Unfinished chronicles a father's journey of pain and redemption and the mystery of God and His goodness in the midst of it all.
