This is the video my new Christmas song - "One Last Christmas." This song is inspired by the true story of the Locke family and their son Dax.
At just thirteen months old, little Dax was diagnosed with a rare form of Leukemia. He was given two bone marrow transplants as a part of emergency treatment; one from each of his parents. The doctors then told his parents that Dax would most likely not make it to see Christmas.
This song is about the love of a family, and the coming together of an entire community to make sure that this little boy could have one last Christmas. His dad, determined that his son would see Christmas, put up the decorations early. The neighborhood caught on, and did the same. The whole town soon followed suit. A website was built telling his story. Soon, pictures were sent from all over the world of Christmas decorations that had been put up in his honor.
Dax did lose his battle with Leukemia, but not before he got to see one last Christmas. Today, this little boy's legacy lives on, and his parents are making sure it does. They were so touched by the care they received from St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital, that they now have a desire to raise enough money to run the entire hospital for one day in honor of their son, Dax. The total cost to run St. Jude's for one day is $1.6 million dollars. Already, they have raised a quarter of a million dollars.
This Christmas, it is on my heart to join forces with the Locke family, and help them in their cause. I would like to encourage you to join us in raising money that will go to an amazing cause in St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital that cares for so many children each year.
You can now get this video by donating at:

Together, we can reach this goal -- and fund St. Jude's for an entire day in Dax Locke's memory!

Dax did what he needed to do here on earth and he is with Jesus now. It is so sad. Not as sad if you are a Christian though. I miss my parents, knowing they were Christians makes it easier.
No matter how many times I hear this song or watch the movie about him, I still cry like a baby. The strength this little boy had while he was alive is amazing.

I watch this video every year around Christmas time. When i was 6 years I had a rare form of cancer and with people's prayers and my faith with God I was able to beat cancer.
+Russell Bunner glory to God
+Russell Bunner I'm so happy for you. I also watch this movie every year. I'll be praying that you stay healthy.
Thank you. I am 19 now and cancer free. God is good!
+Russell Bunner Praying for you. God bless you
+Russell Bunner You're welcome. I'm so happy for you. I'll be praying you stay healthy.
This video can be 50 years old and it wouldn't matter, every single time I hear this song my chest locks up 💔
It's impossible not to wonder about who he would be today ❤️
Same. I always play this song every Christmas. Tears ball out of my eyes every time.
I was his neighbor and I remember putting l lights up for him! He was amazing and wonderful! I live next to where he did still. So sweet😍 will always love him🤗
I just now saw this, 2020. I guess God is still blessing through his precious boy..
I was his neighbor too at the time. I moved away. We all are the neighbors just cause we say we are cause we have magical powers. Anything we say happens. On every video I always see a million people coming out of the woodworks saying they were neighbors/friends/brother/sister whatever when they were not. It's annoying. I don't know why people buy into it. They just do it for likes.
I wish I could be there helping you.
This is the 1st time I have seen this video---I remember the story though. Dax was so blessed to have so many people who loved him---most of all Jesus --Dax is with Him now --without pain and is always happy---his soul that is. St Judes does such amazing work medically, lovingly and giving of themselves after so many deaths --they also see so many victories!!! God ,please bless this wonderful ministry that never makes anyone pay a dime for all the care and love they give their patients and the support of the parents---it is what You would have them do!!!
How could anyone put a thumbs down 😭😭😭
thank you Lord for our children and the blessings that they are and bring into our lives, help us to treasure every moment we get with them because they all matter and they are all so very precious and important
Man it hurts so much knowing he’s gone and he’s not even related to me❤️I love you Dax❤️😭 #daxlocks
I used to take Christmas for granted till I read this family story and it help me realize that Christmas is not just about fancy things or a tree, it's about family and how it's important to cherish every moment.
No matter how many times I hear this song I can't stop crying every time I hear it. When it first came out it hit me then a few months later a friend of mine's daughter only 2yrs old was diagnosed with stage 4 neuroblastoma and this song hit even closer to home. Thankfully she survived after a very long road and is a teen now but it still hits like it was yesterday. The strength of these kids as they battle illnesses whether cancer or otherwise is amazing.
Every time I hear , I thank God for giving me my son for as long as he did. Those parents our so brave and strong, and I know I am not. That,s why God gives things like this , because they can handle it. My God my prayer,s I don’t have words for. You our theBlessed one,s and your son, had Angle.s around him, and still do. God does Bless you
This really made me cry. I just know he is a special Angel in Heaven.

This is so sad... I'll keep lil' Dax in my heart. Even thought i'm 10 years late...
There are no words that explain my emotions right now, it makes me cry when I see how he's laughing and smiling like nothings wrong at all, he is so precious, I can't wait until the day Cancer is just a zodiac sign! Dax, 900,000+ love you so much!
My uncle died 4 days ago..this song really made me cry😭😭😔😔
Yeah it makes me cry too it reminds me of so much I have lost in the last 5 year's I had lost 5 grandparents year after year and had surgery in 2017 in may my GMA died then I had surgery in November and my cat died week before it and week before Christmas my other cat got hit by a car and died
And last year my cousin committed suicide I lost another cat and a guinea pig
All these years later and my heart still hurts watching this video. Such a beautiful yet such a heartbreaking song. He would’ve been 13 this year 💔... forever a 2 year old angel ❣️
Rest in paradise little angel, there's no cancer or anything remotely painful where you are....you are in heaven with our father. This really touched me man so many thing's taken for granted.

Even though I am a stranger, my heart is broken into pieces. 💔 Knowing that he couldn't get to know more about the world and left sooner than his parents expected 😪 I love you baby Dax ❤️❤️ I cannot believe how strong you were ❤️

We definitely should cherish every moment we have with those we love. You never know when your last moment with them will come.
Take one day at a time, enjoy the day. You will never know when you will be called home
@@matthewmcmullin5770 Very true.
How can you unlike this song???It is a very beautiful song I have ever known....
we just watch the movie, it was very moving. All the struggles he went through was really hard to watch. Mom and Dad and all the neighbors help bringing Christmas to him early was very moving. REST IN PEACE DAX!!
there is a hallmark movie based off of this story. I think it's called "Heart of Christmas" its so good
Its beautiful but it kills me. My little boy is the same age he was. I couldnt imagine what those parents went through. My sweet baby is sleeping in my arms. It makes me hug him a bit tighter.
Even though you know the outcome, seeing the "in memoriam" at the end of videos and shows still breaks your heart. Like you're holding out hope until that last second.
Dax's mama vowed to raise enough money to run St Jude's for one day and Dec 2014, she accomplished that goal.
Thank you! Does the Mom have a website?

May God be with that family
Please, please pray for Locke's family, as their house was just hit by the tornado!!! So another struggle, which they didn't deserve either!
I'm a 42 year old male and this had me at tears before it even got to the end...and what the hole neighborhood did was just over the top for this lil angel. I know the Lord has a special place for these kids that have to go through this......And I believe they will be the strongest in heaven.
You and me both
+Brandon Andrews awesome idea and dont forget to tell them what CHRISTams really mean you should also listen to mandissa - This is CHRISTmas GOD bless u , ur family, and ur classes
Be to and I am 10
Hi Matthew that was so nice to write this song for dax when I was born I almost died on christmas eve but your love and faith has shown me to never give up I am a huge fan happy holidays
kevin Unknown I lived next to him
I'm sorry to say I'm just now seeing this for the first time. So sad and beautiful at the same time, tears rolling down my face.
Same here, I cried big time. I hate cancer and all illnesses that are out there. :'( Rest in peace Dax. I am glad that you got to have one last Christmas with your family and thank you Matthew West for writing this beautiful but yet heartbreaking at the same time. I support and help raise local funds for the charities in my area.
+Canadian1626 There is a movie based on this story, The Heart of Christmas. It's so good, a definite tear-jerker!
Father in Heaven I come before you and I know there are many that are dying and this maybe the last Christmas for them. I pray in Jesus name that you give them all the strength to hang on even if it is for 1 last christmas. Amen.
tr2thhrt Amen🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️❤️
Amen Sister !!
tr2thhrt , you have no idea how much your sentiments mean to me. I lost my Mother on 12-25-2016 to two forms of Primary Cancers. I wish I could've seen this comment before then. Thanks
Amen
Amen
After losing multiple older family members to cancer I know how hard it can be. I can't even imagine how this family made it through after losing someone so young. God bless! Thank you St Jude's for all you do for these family's. Cherish everyday you are given. You don't know when the end is near.
That is so very true!
They lit up the whole town. I can't breathe. Oh the love ❤️ Dax is dancing with angels now. 😊✝️🙌💕
Amen my beautiful friend,
A Very Merry Christmas To You and to all who come across this message.
My heart Aches to hear this video/message. I'm at the verge of uncontrollable tears.....😢😢😢
I watch this video every year during the holiday year. I can’t even make it through the first line of the song without bursting into tears. The little boy is so sweet and the story is truly wonderful and should be treasured for generations. And I’m not writing this to get likes, likes don’t matter to me. I’m writing this because I just want to share my thoughts.
It's so beautiful how a whole town had an early Xmas for a dying little boy
hugs to the locke family dak rest in jesus loving arms
I literally cried because I am spending my first Christmas without my friend bc he died of heart issue and I miss him
A beautiful 5 year old I worked with as preschool teacher for a year and a half passed away in December 2013 of leukemia. Her family did Christmas a month early so she could enjoy it. She passed away December 12. This song made me cry, I think of her all of the time. I miss her so much.
God Bless Dax's parents and everyone else who went out of there way to give this sweet little boy one last Christmas, God Bless Dax's parents, I know Dax is safe in the arms of Jesus and he is healed of his cancer, and I know that Dax's parents will see Dax again one day
Still a powerful story years later...still makes me weep.
That video had me in tears! I couldn't imagine how his family felt. God bless his family!
My dad recently passed away. he had cancer, we found out on August 20, 2012. when he was sent home from the hospital, we had one last christmas on october 5. we didn't light up the whole town, but it was the best christmas we could have asked for. God took him home on November 4, 2012. this song just touches my life and my heart.
Omg I'm watching the movie Heart of Christmas based on this little boy I'm balling my eyes out watching the end of the movie ... God bless this family
so powerful I am crying RIP Dax! Your story will continue to inspire and warm hearts. You showed the world what the true meaning of Christmas is
I'm crying my eyes out reading the description and listening to the song same time
Dax lived in a town about 10 minutes away from my college. The year this happened, my school (Eureka College) also participated. Students decorated their dorms inside and out and the sororities and fraternities decorated their houses. This little boy brought not only the town of Washington, IL together, but also brought Eureka, IL together. People still talk about that year and about how crazy everyone went with the decorations....Rest in Peace little one! Eureka loves you!
I'm a 44 year old man who's heard this song multiple times and I cry every time I hear it still today.
I've never had a song or video make me cry but this did it real quick 😭😭😭
this brought me to tears
I didn't know baby dax but I want to say thank you to everyone who helped baby dax have one last Christmas before he went home to heaven
My son was in St. Judes the same time he was. I remember this baby everyday and make sure my doesn't forget him either. I also remember him mom and dad. Dax had the heart of a lion. ❤
this is such an amazing song i cry every time i listen to it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! its amazing what tthe lord does its myserious but amazing.i pray for the dax family and wish them the best... u are a HUGE insparation to me.
Amen
I can't get through half this song without balling like a baby. Amazing song and little life. amazing how he can bring so many together. God Speed little Dax!
My mom and I heard about the Heart of Christmas story, made us both cry. Very touching! What a way to come together not just as a neighbor hood, but as a community to support a wonderful family. Its a true testament of God's love for us.....the heart of Christmas. God Bless!!
God has arranged the best plans for everyone of us, and yes, this painful disease has given so much pain to million people and families, but I do believe He's created happiness above all these storms. Stay strong and there's a heaven above us, the only place filled with eternal love and happiness.
Having a rough year, and worst holiday season ever in MY life. Watching this, and listening to it helps put things into perspective for me. Thank you for sharing----so many of us need to be reminded from time to time that no matter how "bad" things get, or look, they can usually get worse!
This made me cry my eyes out 😢
I have liked the song before I got to know the boy is not anymore. I pray for his new life in heaven with beautiful flowered Christmas that he couldn't manage to enjoy on earth because he got tired in the long run of the pain. Its really cooking my mental my wife just aborted deliberately and am really in pain my heart can't just hold the normal peace.
Oh god forgive us and teach us to be the good sons of your kingdom. Amen
John 17:3 And this is the way to have eternal life-by knowing you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, the one you sent to earth! ❤
AWESOMELY touching song!! The TRUE SPIRIT of CHRISTMAS is LOVE!!!
This is a very good touching song!!!
Just seeing this I feel so bad for them I wish I could meet them and tell them that god gave them the best kid they have and he’s watching over his family god is the best keep on believing he helps us not all the time but sometimes thank you god for this and thank you Mathew West
When we lost our son we, or course, were hurt, and confused, and asking... why? why? why? and our midwife said the only thing that made any sense at the time. She said "God gives us the miracle of life, but He never promises us how long that life will be. And it doesn't really matter if it is 9 months, or 9 years, or 90 years, it still hurts for those who are left behind because we miss them. But, if we could see where they are now, we would never ask them to come back." God Bless you.
This song and video are absolutely heartbreaking. As a parent, I cant imagine the pain these parents went through.
no matter how many times i hear this it wont get old... listen to it about 7 times this week and two times today!!!! wow so heart warming!!!!
i cried so hard during this. In a way made me think of my uncle. Last year he overdosed and passed away. He tried so hard to get clean and stay clean. He was clean for 2 months. He passed away 7 days before Christmas (December 18)...we recieved the call first thing in the morning the next day (December 19). He never got to see one last Christmas.
I literally cried bc I spent many Christmases without my mom and I miss her so much :(
The concert was AWESOME AND THE HOLY SPIRIT FILLED THE COLISEUM! MATTHEW SANG THROUGH THE GUIDANCE AND DIRECTION OF JESUS AND BLESSED SO MANY! I LOVED IT!
By the end, I started crying. What a touching song! It teaches us the true meaning of Christmas: love. I can't imagine how that family felt. God bless them and the neighbors who gave Dax one last Christmas.
The painful truth is, life is a terminal condition. We will all die, but because of God's amazing grace, it doesn't have to be the end. Dax will be meeting his mom and dad again one day and man, will he have some amazing stories to share with them when they go home and reunite with him.
I can't imagine having your child for one year and falling in love with them, just to learn that he has a rare cancer, and won't make it.
I'm crying. This is beautiful
:( Is it wrong to cry in the middle of the song?! It's so sad!!!! :C
I cry like a baby when I watch this video. I can relate to this song because my mom died from cancer in 2014. She battled it on and off throughout my childhood and in my first two years as a teenager. Around Christmas of 2013 her cancer returned and there wasn't much that the doctors could do. She died April 13, 2014. She died from sarcoma so did her older brother who died before I was born he died in 1993 at the age of 29.

How can this amazing video get any dislikes?
My dad has terminal cancer and this is my ONLY wish too! I just want one more Christmas with him...63 yrs old is far too young. Love my dad! This little boy is so adorable, so please donate to cancer foundations. :)
I, like a lot of people watch this movie every Christmas. I was diagnosed with wilms tumor at 9 months old. The doctors said I had a 10% chance of making it to 3 years. I'm 27 years old now, cancer free for 24 years. My heart goes out to anyone who has to deal with cancer or has to watch a loved one go through it.
This is a beautiful song. It was a beautiful movie, although sad.
This brought a tear to my eye. Thank you Matthew West. It made me remember all of the people that this happens to and not just Dax.
It's incredible to see Jesus affect so many lifes. If only it didn't take such a dramatic event for people to see.
I'm only nine and this touch my life for those that have lost a child I just pray God will help.
This song is amazing. I don't know how you could not like it. Thank You Matthew West for this amazing song. Thank you to the family who let him use this story. Simply incredible.
This is beautiful
I was diagnosed with wilms tumor at the age of nine months. Doctors gave me a 10 percent chance of survival. I'm now 20 years old. This boys story showed me what my parents went through. Like Dax's did, our church and community helped my parents get through it. This story touched my heart and reminded me of how lucky we can be without realizing it. My heart goes out to and my prayers are with Dax's family. RIP Little dude. Your with God now and someday you will see you parents again.
The baby was so adorable. I'm just so sad now. ): I'm like seriously crying so hard right now.
R.I.P DAX LOCKE.
Thank you for everything you do for everybody. You're SO encouraging! Your songs have helped me, touched me, and blessed me. Thank you again, SO much! Have a Merry Christmas!
I'm crying so much. This is so sad I'm balling.
It was sad to hear that he lost his battle with cancer.
This really hits home for me. My daughter Rachel was diagnosed with Leukemia in Jan, 2002 and passed away in June of that year. Thank you for such a beautiful song.
loved ones in heart wherever you are whenever you go stay with you.
Oh god this song makes me wanna cry so much
This is an incredibly well made video and such a beautiful song. So moving - I'm not sure there's a parent in the world who could watch it through with a dry eye. Dax's life was cut short, but he touched a lot of people and was lucky to have such incredible parents.
This boy touches my heart. He's the cutest thing ever. I love this song. He's now in a better place. God has a plan for everyone. God chose baby Dax to be created. His days are numbered in His book. He is so cute.
Dax's town was recently devastated by an F4 tornado. Over 1000 homes were destroyed. I imagine many of the people who made his last days so special are now trying to pick of the pieces of their own lives. I'm sure prayers would be appreciated.
His mother Julie's house was destroyed in this tornado. She was lying over Dax's sis Madeline's body, to protect her, while the tornado run over! And then she went out and helped others!!! So, prayers for all of them, please!!!
Om I'm going to cry.
It could be that way for any one of us... we aren't guaranteed tomorrow. I needed a whole box of kleenex, it pulled at my heart so much ~ this is an exceptional community and family to pull together for Dax like they did. BLESSINGS to all ♥
My son is 21 months old son who I am holden right now . Can't imagine what the family must be going through. They are in my thoughts and prayers.
God bless you all!
