Mitchell’s Journey is a tender, heartbreaking, inspiring story about an incredible young boy who was diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy at an early age, and eventually died from the disease. His father, Christopher M. Jones established a Facebook page to chronicle his son’s journey and continues to post photos, essays, and videos about Mitchell’s story. His personal reflections on life, love, loss, family connections and the miracles that surround us inspire readers all over the world. “The Solar Eclipse” is the latest video Chris has produced for Mitchell’s Journey, and we present it here with our gratitude for the beautiful message of knowing our place in the universe and what matters most in life, the portrayal of our human capacity to endure pain and find joy, and the crucial counsel that recording, remembering and sharing our life experiences can help us heal. “In the end, it’s all about life and family…There is nothing so powerful as the relationships that connect us. That is what gives our lives meaning and purpose.” Christopher M. Jones

Note: Christopher M. Jones is the creator of  Jonathan’s Story, an inspirational video produced by The Family History Guide Association.
