In memory of my Baby Nephew Kristopher Owen Randolph...

I made this video as a tribute to my Nephew, Kristopher Owen Randolph Verge, who was born into a cradle of wings November 25th, 2006... 17 weeks gestational. My sister and brother-in-law found out his little heart had stopped beating unexpectedly and she would have to be induced for labour. It was and still is quite a shocking tradgedy. I held her hand through 7-8 hours of pain only to find that the heartbreak does not end. Kristopher still had toes,fingers,little ears,a nose,mouth,eyes,belly button,etc.... He was still a baby. Many seem to think at 17 weeks gestational you'd see a little blob... this is so far from true and the pain does not subside.. I like to say it morphs into many different versions of agony. It is still so hard. It's not just the first year. It's every birthday,Christmas, family outing, sight of another baby or pregnant woman,etc....because you're steady thinking about how old they be,their personality,traits... It's just as hard now as November 25,2006 in many ways. Just keep this in mind if any of you will ever or has ever had to go through this or help someone through it. I decided to switch the words of Celine Dion's A Mother's Prayer to an Auntie's Prayer and sing it myself. The end is a little shaky but it's my thought and love that count. Your always in my thoughts baby boy. Love, Auntie Cherish

I lost my twin boys at 21 weeks gestation. I had to conceive with IVF because of PCOS. I deeply feel this pain of loss and I think it's so wonderful that you would do something like this for your family. I also made a tribute video to my children. God bless all of our angels!!

I am sorry for your loss. My mother,sister, and I all have PCOS which does make the loss different as we are not sure when/if she'll get pregnant again. But our hope is strong and I myself am looking into fertility treatments. Thank you for the posting and take care.

We too lost our baby girl at 17 week she was due two days after my at the time 2 year old daughters birthday so we do a balloon release every year on her birthday to remember our baby Mia. We planted a dog wood tree this year in her memory and it bloomed three blooms. One for each of her syblings. God be with you and bless you.

Thank you for sharing your experience. It is very hard. My sister and I both suffer from Polycystic Ovary Syndrome making it difficult to get pregnant to begin with. We have began making memory boxes for the hospitals that are running out of them. (Boxes that are given with the baby's bracelet,footprint, blanket,etc) because the baby-loss support group coordinator contacted us and said the hospital had resorted to ziploc baggies which is ridiculous.

OMG, this is so sad. I'm 16 weeks preg now and I can't imagine having to go through this. I'll know the sex tomorrow, hope everything's fine. We talk to him/her as if he/she were with us, so I can only imagine how heartbreaking it must have been for you. I can't stop crying at your video. May God bless your family and your angel.

I have lost a total of 4 children myself they were all around 7-10 weeks along. I know the pain of losing a child never goes away. My sister lost a child at 5 mos. She didn't know the sex of the child until she had to push him out. That was the hardest time for the both of us she miscarried on Jan 7th, 2006 and I miscarried on Jan 9th, 2006. Her was a boy, mine was a set of twins it was too early to tell what mine were. I feel for this family and every family that loses an Angel of their own.

i have lost two babies one at 12 weeks and the other at 13 weeks. No matter the gestation the emotionall pain is the same im sure and the memories of the loss hurt the same. I can timagine being told to push knowing there'd be nothing to take home in the end. I feel her pain but I will never know the sadness of that. God bless her and her family.

I lost my baby at the same age- about 17 wks (my video's under catherine hope keeler). You all did such a beautiful job commemorating his little life. God bless!
