“We talk about death everyday so we can talk about life for one day.”
Something unexpected happened on Facebook Live Monday afternoon — a new father livestreamed the live birth of his newborn son.

Kali Kanongataa, a 36-year-old father of two — now three — living in Sacramento, California, told BuzzFeed News he was thrilled to learn that he was expecting a child with his partner, Sarah.

A bitter split with his ex-wife meant that he lost custody of the two children he already had, he said. He last saw them three months ago.
"Having my son with [my partner] is refreshing right now in light of my battle to see my two children," he said.
When his partner went into labor on Monday, Kanongataa wanted to share the moment with his family, which is scattered around California and the world — he has relatives in the Kingdom of Tonga, Samoa, and Fiji. So he geared up Facebook Live.
