The Timecard
Happy Birthday Angel85 total reviews
Comment from dennis0530
Reading this story tugged at my heartstrings. Admittedly, it is sad but I take heart. You, your wife and family also. We should receive consolation in the saying that God takes babies and make them Angels.
For those who have faith, remember that everything happens for a reason. Not easy to find it, but reason enough to ponder about life's mysteries. Do we sacrifice something in return for a greater good? In your case maybe it is being blessed with three healthy children.
Keep the Timecard. Though it may bring bitter-sweet memories, I hope the "sweet" side will prevail.
Happy Birthday and Merry Christmas to your Angel. And a Peaceful one to you and your family.

I'm back from my 48 hour whirlwind Christmas trip to Florida and over my 80 hour work weeks of the past month and will relax with my coffee and computer to catch up on FS.
Thank you Dennis for a great review. It means a lot to me. John

This is very well written. You did an excellent job of telling Kristen's story. As I read along, your words elicited tears and caused a heavy heart. This is such a sad story, and I can't even begin to imagine your pain and grief. I am sure, without a doubt, this profoundly changed your life.

Comment from Roxanna Andrews
How very heartbreaking. I'm so sorry. I have read too many stories like this on this site. I am so glad you are comforted by your faith. I don't know how people who have no faith or believe in God get thru these hard times. I'm so happy God blessed with more children and now grandchildren. I hope you have a blessed Christmas with your family. Rox

Comment from Ben Colder
Letting go is nearly impossible but we , who are born again Christians shift our feeling into the hands of the one who is in control I lost a grandson at 20 months to leukemia as he died laying next to me. Blessings to you and your family.

Comment from Jumbo J
Hi John,
what a heart drenching story... I say drenching because of the out-pouring of love it took to write something so tragic. Your memories hooked into a time-card.
I read this two days ago, but have been unable to be on site since due to work commitments... for two nights I have actually dreamed about reviewing this story, I wouldn't say a haunting, more like it touched me so deeply and I couldn't release it from my mind.
I can only imagine how devastated you and your wife would have been after such a loss... I could not think of anything worse than to go full-term with a healthy baby and lose her under these tragic circumstances... I could go on and tell you of our own heartbreaks, but this is you, your wife, your family and Kristen time.
I am so happy you shared this story with me... 32 years seems such a long time, but for you and your wife, it probably feels like yesterday.
Beautifully written my friend... my wife Jade, and I send you and your family all our love.
Be well, have a happy and safe holiday season.
With our thoughts we create,
loving thoughts,
James.

James, my friend, thank you so much for that heartfelt, warm review. The experience did not thrust us from God. It brought us closer. Many aspects of my life, I wish I could change, but can't. God has done that for a reason. One day ill know why.
Thanks my brother. John

I know your right, and there is a bigger plan in play... Hope your trip was enjoyable, i know when something's that time starved in can be a bit tiring, but it must have been great to see your boys and grandchildren... Anyway my brother enjoy a little down time, sip on that coffee and take a load off... Soon it will all start-up again and you won't even have the time to scratch yourself... wishing you happiness, good health and financial abundance for the New Year my bother. James

A very poignant story, very well-written. You made good use of language, good narrative and the characterisations were good. It read very well and I enjoyed it immensely. Faye

This is a beautiful tribute to your first child. It is extremely well-written and filled with the sensitivity required. In the end, you have been blessed with a great family.

Comment from elchupakabra
This was a really beautiful and touching story. I thought that the way you relayed this tragedy into an inspirational tale required not just a great strength, but also that in the end, it commemorates Kristen in the best way possible. Only the Grinch wouldn't give this piece six stars, and I'm not him, so Merry Christmas and thank you so much for sharing this personal story.

What a sad story, I cannot begin to know what it must feel like to loose a child. My heart goes out to anybody who does. You have told your story so well , with deep love that you have not lost in all the years that has passed. I am glad you had a family after Kristen.
Well written, Mary
