  • "Take a look at him, he is not going to be around for too long." The Story of my Brother Kristofor.

    My mom speaks for the first time on this episode. 
    I grew up hearing my mom cry through the walls about her baby boy Kristofor who had passed away 25 hours after he was born. Both my parents never seen him deceased, how do you know your baby truly died if you never actually seem him deceased? My mom never had a chance to say good bye or heal,  after all these years. 
    This true story is a huge miracle and never did I think by doing a forensic art composite drawing of my brother Kristofor for my mom that it would lead to the discovery of finding him.  
    As each event unfolded more miracles would appear.
