WATCH: Man Reveals Incredible Tattoo To Brother Who Has Down Syndrome

   DailyWire.com

On July 21, a Brazilian woman named Sheila Soares posted an incredible video on her Facebook wall. The video shows her son Rafael revealing to his brother Erick a new tattoo (click through the “+5” to reach the video):

The stunningly detailed sleeve tattoo depicts Erick, who has Down syndrome, wearing the face of a lion. Erick sees the tattoo and examines it; he smiles. He then hugs and kisses his brother.

As of publication, the video has been viewed more than 330,000 times on Facebook, and received over 10,600 “likes.”

Sheila posted several follow-up notes to her Facebook profile. In one, she denies that she shared the video in order to receive her “five minutes of fame.” In another, she gives credit and thanks to God (translation via Google Translate):

My dear friends, when I posted this video I could swear that it would not cause this dimension of sharing that [it] caused. I confess to you that I’m still scared and all this, there are many messages of affection congratulating me 24 hours a day…

Only that this is NOT called RAFAEL, neither ERICK nor ELEN, nor I … THIS IS CALLED GOD. Because he was the cause of the success of this video, because contrary to what many think, I have never had anything easy in this life. Only US and GOD and the closest friends know well what I have already spent in life so Erick is here with us.

It was a LOT of battles, a lot of approvals, a lot of fights, a lot of defeats, and a lot of wins, but I never gave up on my children (because I created them by myself). And I win. Do you know why? Because God EXISTS. YES, just have FAITH, PERSEVERANCE and believe that someday everything will be solved.

I swear to all of you that my intention when I posted this video was just to show you one more of their episodes, but it was all this … I want to thank from the bottom of my heart to you all.

Setting aside any and all speculation regarding “five minutes of fame,” this is a beautiful video depicting a man’s gesture of love for his brother.
