A LOVEABLE 8-year-old boy has a form of dwarfism so rare he is believed to be one of only 28 cases in the world. Three-foot-tall Landen Johnson, from Lincolnton, North Carolina, has primordial dwarfism, one of the rarest forms of dwarfism in the world, with experts estimating there are less than 100 cases worldwide. But Landen’s specific form of primordial dwarfism, DNA Ligase four deficiency or Ligase 4 deficiency, which also affects the immune system, makes him even rarer: his family say they know of only 28 other cases worldwide, making Landen one in four million. Five months after having a bone marrow transplant Landen still has to go to hospital three times a week, can barely go outside and has to take multiple medications - but Landen’s spirit remains unbreakable.

RIP Landen Johnson (13 September 2019)(aged 9) you will truly be missed and may the Lord watch over you and keep you safe.
when he tells the nurse she’s beautiful what a sweetheart 😍
mackenzie cathleen he be pullin
@@danail4444 😂😂
figuratively and literally
But the first time the nurse acted like she did not here him 😂
mackenzie cathleen That was so sweet! I wanted to reach through my screen & slap her for ignoring him.
Wow, he's complimenting the nurse on her looks and asking the doctor how is his day, yet he's the one going through all of the pain and side effects. This little guy is awesome, sweet and strong. I pray he gets better and live a normal life. Kudos to his parents for teaching him love, etc.
Chassity Oubre right lol such a teddy bear 🧸 I love him pray he get better soon ❤️🙏🏾
@@prettyblackfemaletunnelvis5945 they said he passed away 💙🙏🏾

Now I am crying knowing he passed away last year. Rest in peace, little boy. 😢❤️
What!!!? Omg no! Where can I see find tge article?
Just watched this Saturday May 15, 2021 and I am in tears!!!! What a special little boy Landen was!!! My heart goes out to his family and friends!!!
Me too💔
Awwww nooooooo
Ohhh no...😔
When he told his nurse she was beautiful my heart melted
Miss M Same here
Miss M me too. What a sweet boy.
Right!
Miss M I replayed it a hundred times 😍😍
When she didn't hear it the first time I literally broke a tooth from cringing
“I gotta say you’re beautiful” awww my heart 😭🙌♥️
A major player already, just like Howard Stern's Beetlejuice.
His personality is 1 in 4 million. So heartbreaking that he left this world.
I watched this and read the comments saying that he had passed. So sad. What a beautiful little angel. He and his parents are Angels.
I just loves how his dad never leaves his side , omg I'm just so emotional right now ... Makes me appreciate things so much more .
Shea Charlton Same
SMH 😇 ikr thankful
Shea Charlton same
Life is good
Sounds like the creatures in Animal Crossing
That is the best dad in the world! Not to take anything away from the mom but the dad was so affectionate with him. I love seeing a man that loves his children!
Courtney Warner I just thought the same. I was crying watching that dad hugging his son with that love.
I think the mum is amazing with him.
I know him he is a good godly man and a paster and Landen was very faithful to god through it
Michael Baity A pastor. Not a paster.
Courtney Warner I was gonna say the same thing. You could see love for his child on how genuinely worried he is through his eyes. I give to the Mom too for stepping aside to give the father and son relationship. wonderful family. God keep this family away from more challenges for this beautiful boy.
Landen was laid to rest september 16 2019 t the age of 9. May God bless his soul.
regrettheprophet aw 😢
Oh God no! Bless his sweet little heart,may he rest in peace😢
😢
Rip
This made me sad RIP beautiful boy I gotta say your beautiful that was so cute when he said that 💙🙏🏾
That father and son relationship is utterly adorable and my heart absolutely melts for this boy and his whole family 💔❤️💔❤️
What a complete sweetheart, with great parents.
Hi ichigo!
His heart is so pure not to mention he’s absolutely adorable 🤗♥️
Karen Mojica I agree. You're totally right.
People in comment section says he passed away in 2019
SEPT 16, 2019 LANDEN PASSED AWAY AT 9 YEARS OLD♡ REST IN PIECE LIL' ANGEL OF HEAVEN ♡
*Peace. Not Piece.
So sad. 😞
Rip Landen
❤️😢
This came into my recommendation list while I was eating breakfast. Now I've started my day with tears running down my cheeks.
RIP Landen.
Truly inspirational.
Okay we need a part two or just a quick follow-up of Landen, gotta love the kid's spirit and heart man 😭
Another post states he died last Friday 13.9.2019
Kid? Wasn't he born in 1997?
He was born in 2010 and yes he passed away in September.
@@AtheneHolder oh no that's so sad :'(
@@jocao2831 he’s seven in this video....
RIP little man. He had such an amazing big beautiful soul in such a small body.
He is so cute.... i could spend whole day with him...staring at that adorable face and admirable character.....so full of grace😘😘
"I'm going outside! Yay!" Aw!
^^^ lolol i love your comment.
His little voice is so precious!!
scares me
@@jaadea you must be a weak little punk then if a small child's voice scares you. So rude.
It is
I just can't take my eyes of him. He is so adorable. God will protect his soul
you mean like he protected his body ... and the hearts of his family and those who loved him deeply??
@@alyssabroussard4425 God has wisdom for example. just look at him he is inspiring so many people to be grateful and those people who has some kind of disabilities will be inspired . This life is temporary but paradise will be eternal
@@muslimman7143 that's right💓
A kid who is in the midst of pain who needs encouragement from others is encouraging others! What an angel.
Omg, Landen is absolutely adorable with such a bubbly, little personality. I wish nothing but the best for him. It is sad that he is enduring such adversity at a young age but he is handling it with grace and dignity. He is also truly blessed to have such a wonderful, loving, supportive family.
I’ve never felt my heart physically melt up till now.
Civictundra 628 it's a beautiful feeling, right? 💖
Landen passed away about 2 years ago. He was a sweetest kid ever.
My heart is shattered finding out that little Landen went home to be wl our Lord!!
God Bless you babyboy!!!! You were truly an INSPIRATION to so many . And you always will be.
My heart is aching right now!!! You will truly be missed Landen. God bless you sweetheart
Oh he’s so precious. Bless you little one.
+Ksus Susk You know he's eight years old, right?
+Ksus Susk It's normal for adults (both men and women) to find little kids cute (both little girls and little boys). That's not a gender thing...
You too are a wonderful Soul Paige
@@Eadyt87 why be so rude. Im sure it was meant as a figure of speech.
Sounds like the creatures in Animal Crossing
7:10 "Sam? I mean Mandy, I gotta say you're beautiful"
Such a sweetheart ❤️
This dads heart seems a second away from breaking...one can feel the heaviness of sadness and concern for his son. Found it hard to see Landon so active by comparison to how he is post bone marrow transplant. I really hope he recovered well. Very,very good father!👏🌈🙏
He died:(
What a precious boy!! I loved when he said "I gotta say, you're beautiful" such a gentlemen. Round of applause to his parents who are raising a great young man.
He is so cute. I love the parents.
I love him God be with him
Beautiful family all the best with the transplant .having been through chemo as an adult it sucks and to hear Landon so wonderful to his nurses ,wow incredible spirit God bless
god bless?
Are yes you are so look rite,😋😊
God bless!!! Amen!!!
He was such a ray of sunshine I don’t get emotional over people I don’t know often but the fact he’s gone breaks my heart but I know he made an impact in the time he was alive
Hi there? Hope you're good & staying safe?
He's definitely the cutest human I've ever seen!!! ♥️
I have wilson disease where i cant eat alot of things. Im not allergic but i just cant eat those things or i will get sick. After i watched this video i realized i should appreciate i still can play sports i still can go to school i can run, jump etc. Thank you for posting Barcroft TV. I used to think my life sucked but now i appreciate and i enjoy life as much as i never had before. If anyone reading this comments knows him please please wish Landon luck and encourage him to live a happy life and not waste one second of it!
ImABoyCalledHayHay I hope you are doing well!
yes i am:)
Really cute saying that, hope you feel good also today.. We just have to enjoy life, however we are able to do it.
Thank you!
Really? Maybe not curable but there is medicines out there that can help it.
*I want to give him a hug*
He is so cute, his parents really love him especially his dad ! He loves him so much
This is my pastors son. He was one of the sweetest kids in the world. Landen would tell you jokes, just to keep you laughing. He had a love for the Lord. Always wanted to see people saved. Sadly Landen passed away on September 13th of 2019. He is missed so much by everyone. The comments on this video is so sweet, and I just know Landen would have loved to read them. Such a sweet kid. Being close to him was a blessing. He was a blessing
Don't worry son. You are in jesus hand's all time
Absolutely amazing story. Thank God for the donor. Wonderful parents!
He's lucky to have amazing parents 🙏👌
His brothers are such good brothers and parents😭💕beautiful family bless them Landon is no longer suffering
He’s such a sweet and adorable boy. You can see and feel his parents pain for him while he’s recovering from the transplant. I hope and pray he’s doing better now.
"I gotta say, 'you're beautiful.'"
" I gotta say your beautiful " my heart melted😭❤
I'm so sad to learn this sweet little soul has passed. God bless you little Angel, I hope you're finally at peace💜

I am so so sorry to hear of their loss. His passing is also a loss to this world! He was such a special Angel! What a blessing that child was. I appreciate his father's statement in reference to teaching him about Faith! That was super awesome! That child was a light and he has left something very special behind. He will now rest with his Father in Heaven - no more pain baby boy.🙏
“I gotta say your beautiful.” Omg my heart melted. That precious little voice 😩
Little package, HUGE personality 💜. Some of the greatest things come in small packages! Wishing him and his family all the best!
He's so cute, I pray that God heals him completely from the transplant. His parents are awesome. God bless them.
The doctors are going to heal him not god.
Put your trust on the doctor and not god
He passed away 3 days ago :(
greyson winoker what how😭😭?)
Morgan Freeman I’ll pray for your awful soul.
I retired from nursing career, so I’ve seen a lot of children with problems. This little guy is already one of special interest to me. What a true champion!

Asking his doctor how his day was...

Last Sunday was his birthday he would have been 11
What a brave, beautiful soul Landen is. I pray for him a long, healthy love-filled life! ❤️
He died
Awww gosh he's such a sweet heart!
More like a rare form of Cuteism😊🤗❤️
Lakeya K Totes!
Lakeya K yes!!
Exactly!!
He’s so f*kin adorable
RIGHT!
he seems like such an angel, his parents are really great parents. both dad and mum. rarely is the dad talking in these kinds of videos, mum always does all the talking. they seem so proud of Landen.
Oh my goodness, what a sweet angel that Landon is and what a HUGE heart and personality he has. God bless that sweet family.
Praying for you little dude
AK Devers prayers don’t change anything
@@zeahbank4073 because your praying to the wrong god. Not you but in general people are praying to the wrong god
To everyone touched by Landen’s story: join the bone marrow registry, if you can. A stranger from a different country saved this kid’s life. Joining the registry is super easy, just a questionnaire and a cheek swab. If you are 18-44 years old, BMI under 40 and in good health you might be some kid’s hero and not know it. bethematch.org
7:06 “Sam… I mean Mandy I gotta say you’re beautiful”🥺💙💚
"I gotta say you're beautiful" 💓💓💓 omg I could just die over his sweetness. I'm hoping for only the best for this little guy and his family.
"I gotta say, you're beautiful" omg my heart, what a cutie
The cutest thing ever. So strong. It really puts everything into perspective and you realize that your problems don't matter at all and that there are people out there you could be helping and sending positive energy to instead of complaining about your job, etc.
He is SO adorable sitting on the stove with his teddy.... Such a sweet little boy.
His voice is so cute I can’t 🥺😭
Beautiful family
Landon i hope you'll be happy for the rest of your life.
He was so precious...life is so unfair sometimes..😔
This made me cry so much, especially when I heard he recently died. Fly to the heavens, Landen!
God bless you, Landon
What a sweet boy!😊 All the Best to U Landon!
What a beautiful child , he sure makes my heart go flip flop 👏👏🙏🏻blessings to the awesome parenting 💗
If no one has told u lately you're beautiful, I send you this compliment from this little angel
Lol “Sam I gotta say you’re beautiful”
man, i wish the best of luck to that kid, he had to go through alot of things, but in the end, this kid is probably one of the cutest and bravest kids i have ever seen... if he was able to read this... then this is all i have to say.... Good luck lil’ dude...
I have watched this video multiple times over the months. Landen’s warmth and sincerity is inspirational. May his legacy continue.
"I gotta say you're beautiful" 😩😭😍 this boy is perfect and beautiful! I pray he is doing just fine and living a great life. 🙏🏽 🤗 💞
I think with his parents behind him, he’ll be able to do anything. Lovely little boy & his parent are awesome
Dee he died a month ago :(
