Oh John, I am so sorry to read about Kristen. The death of your daughter and letting her go had to be one of the hardest, if not the hardest, thing that you and your wife ever had to do. Yes, she is an Angel that lives in eternal life, and she has watched over you and your family. She now holds hands with Judy, and they are watching over both families. Eight pounds, 11 ounces was a very good birth weight. People never think that a healthy-sized baby will die shortly after birth. We never know what God's plan is for us, or the reason why. I'm sorry for the late review. I'm finally, get caught up. I leave my tear on page. Sincerely, Margaret

I remember being so moved last year when I read this story and it moves me still. I pray that in the writing, even if it is every year like acknowledging her birthday, you will always find comfort. Blessings to you on this day.

Well, i will do my best to type this review but excuse any typos that might occur because of the tears in my eyes. As someone who came much too close to losing my own daughter thirty seven years ago, this brought it all crashing back. I am sorry for the pain you've lived with since losing her but grateful you know where she went and can find comfort in that. I will hug my own daughter a little tighter the next time I see her

I'm sorry for your loss. I can imagine how hard it must be to loose a child at both. It must be so painful. All my chidren and grandchildren are healthy , except my son. He had a heart attack and for a while it was serious. Thank God he pulled through and he's doing better. I know is a different kind of pain but as parents we can all relate.

This was heartfelt and so beautiful, John. What a nice reminder of your previous story about Chrissy, and what you do to honor her birthday each year. So bittersweet this occasion must be for you.

I'm very sorry for your wife whose friend passed away at such a young age, but maybe you're right and she's there now with Chrissy.

Beautifully written. - Jim

Hi John,
I'm so sorry for your loss. I can't imagine how that must have hurt, and for a baby that really had nothing wrong with her. I'm glad your wife had a friend there with her and sorry she lost her as well. I'm sure she's in good company.

I know this was hard to share, but thank you for doing so. Many have lost babies at varying stages, but each has its own heartache.

Take care,
Rhonda

    I?m glad! I?ve a granddaughter there who lived about as long who can keep her company. She was a preemie and didn?t have much of a chance for survival. Still, she lived and is frolicking with angels.

Thanks for sharing this story and for making this beautiful annual event remembering Kristen's arrival to Earth and arrival to Heaven so soon after as the "angels lifted her beautiful spirit."

Hi John,
so, it's not taking much at all to bring the tears flowing... and then I read this and the flow intensifies into a torrent.

There is so much love and pain within the narrative, I don't know where to start. Telling you how my heart swells with love for you Debbie within your memorial memory. I could not think of comparing such a loss to anything else. As you may know, Jade and I, tried to have children with the assistance of seven attempted IVF treatments way back when. Three going over the two-three month period, before a miscarriage.

One could only ever think, God does have a greater plan and learning in every loss?

And then I read the loss of Judy... the loving-caring friend and nurse going home so relatively young, leaving behind her husband and daughter... well, I just have to have faith in the belief everything has a purpose and reason.

Happy Birthday Kristen... rest easy little angel!

Love to you, Debbie and your family my dear Brother.

With our thoughts we create...
our connection to a higher purpose.

Warmest regards,
James.

    Thank you so much, James god all the kind words and sentiment. Kristen has watched over her two brothers and sister all these years and there will home the day I will thank her as I once again hold her in my arms.

    Thank you, my brother for creating this, sharing my tearful emotions and sharing your and Jades difficulties. It?s not easy to do and I?m honored you felt you could with me!

    Be well, be safe, be loved.

I could feel the love in the way you told this story. It is extremely difficult to lose a baby.

We lost out first baby after an hour of life, over 50 years ago. My husband saw our little girl, but they wouldn't let me see her because I was hysterical and had to be sedated. I wrote the story but never posted it.

Your story keeps Kristen's and Judy's memories alive. May they rest in peace in Heaven together.

    Wow. LJ I had no idea you lost a child so soon. I am sorry for your loss. Like myself, you?ll never forget and one day will be reunited with your little one in your arms.

    Thank you for reading and sharing your vulnerability.

Just as God wanted my mom at the same age as Judy. Special people are meant to be with God. That is for sure. Oh John, you had me crying thru this entire post.
It was beautiful and so sad at the same time. Of course you would think of your precious angel you lost every year on her birthday. And of course Debbie does more often as she was the one who carried her for nine months and delivered her with hopes to take her home with you. I am so very sorry to you and Debbie for your loss. Even if it was forty three years ago. I understand the pain, as my daughter lost one the same way. God bless you both for what you have gone thru and hope the rest of the years have been good. You two deserve the best.
Love to you and Debbie!! Debi
