On
June 15, 2001, I lost a baby to miscarriage. I was 8 weeks pregnant
when I lost him. I had this gut feeling from the start that it was going
to be a boy, so we had decided to name him Christian Michael if he were
a boy. I decided to keep that name for him when we lost him. Before
I lost Christian, I never realized how painful having a miscarriage
could be. From the time you find out you are pregnant, you have hopes
and dreams for this child. When I lost Christian, I felt like my life
was shattered into a million pieces. I didn't know how to go about putting
them back together. As I read online about other people's experiences
with the loss of a child through miscarriage, I began to feel so much
better to know I wasn't alone in what I felt. I decided to put together
a website about my miscarriage so that other people could feel comforted
through my experience. I also wanted a way to memorialize Christian
so that everyone knows he is still my child, and I will never forget
him!

Michael, Our Angel.
