They should have this lullaby song at all hospitals it would really help the grieving process.
Or just when your having a rough day.
I really think that most-if not all- hospitals do this. I live in Mphs, TN and all of them here do that. It's nice to be in one when it goes off because everyone pauses for a moment and smiles.
Yes that would be awesome
My military hospital announces their birth with the ringing of 4 bells on the following noon. 4 bells are traditionally used to signal the arrival and departure of the ship's captain, a flag officer, or other dignitaries.
So it will be like :
*Ring, ring, ring, ring*
“Baby Sailor arriving”
Or
“Baby Marine arriving” 🥹
Absolutely 🤍🙏
What a beautiful baby. Kingston James sounds like a good, strong name. I hope Mr. James rest in peace and I hope Kingston James has a long, healthy, happy life.
This this Thai
Then he could pass on part of his name to someone else 85 years from now!! So he must promise himself throughout the years, that he can live a long healthy life! 👍
This story is a heart warmer. When I first saw him as a baby, he reminded me so much of my son, whose now 42, my firstborn. It took me all the way back, to looking at him like a miracle. It was hard to comprehend how this baby had formed, in me. I would lie next to him, gazing at him, and his little hands, for hours.
But this story also reminded me of a recent talk I had with God. I had grew up just loving everybody, that was my nature, but encountering conflicts in adult life, I told God I was tired of black and white issues, and I just wanted to love everybody, again. So this story was so very heartwarming, to see. A very beautiful story.
It’s a really regal name ❤️
Agreed. The name sounds regal.
WE NEED MORE STORIES LIKE THIS. ♥️😢😭
Yess I agree we do look what's going on around us everyday we need more of this....
Yes! So beautiful
Agree
Amen
You know she's his honorary grandmother at this point🥲🥲Cutest thing because family does not mean blood its the people in Your Life that want You in Their Lives. This is so Beautiful.
Kingston James Hall is a powerful statement of a name! Indeed.
i’m not crying. those are the onions i cut last week.
😂
I am pregnant with my second boy and I am absolutely weeping over this sweet story 🥰
CONGRATULATIONS For You And You’re Second BOY MAY The Force Be WITH YOU.
GIRL, WEEEEEEEPING 😭😭😭😭
@@goldendutches5207 it's too sweet!!
Same here girl.
Bless you 🙏🏽
Here in 2024 crying with joy on a beautiful story. Truly faith and love are what we need. Thank you for the story. Need more like this.
Kingsston James Hall, thats a strong name. Hes going to be great.
My child was born 3 days after my grandmother died. My mom buried her mom and then came to the hospital(still in funeral clothes) to pick up her first grandchild.
🙏
Wow 💜
😢💫💔💖💜💝🙏🏾
What a beautiful story! Kingston is blessed by James legacy! Two beautiful human beings!
Kingston is definitely Mr.James’s angel he looked like a little old man 😂🤣🥰 how precious is the little guy
Yessssss💜
Backhanded compliment
"A little old man"?
James fits perfectly with Kingston. Such a beautiful heart warming story ❤️🥰
This is so BEAUTIFUL. The connections between the people in this story is divine and uncanny. I love it.
Living proof that energy never dies it simply recycles itself. Beautiful story. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
well said!
Kingston is so precious! His mother is beautiful!
I love the idea of the lullaby playing.
Ok it’s too early to cry 😢what a beautiful story. Love the completion of little KJ’s namesake. The bonus is that the reporters mom was the nurse ❤️
What a beautiful and touching story. From birth, Kingston James has gained an adopted grandmother.
This has me in tears. With all the ugliness in the world now, I pray for acts of kindness like this. Thank you God for showing ppl you are the alpha and omega. This restores my hope in ppl. Glory be to God
Those names sound so good together.
I know, i sort of predicted that Kingston was going to take the middle name of a stranger and I was hoping it would flow well at least & it did lol
It's amazing to me that a woman that old still had a living parent. Very sweet story. James is the perfect middle name to Kingston.
Her father was 86 when he passed away. Since people are living longer than in the past, it’s not as uncommon to have several generations alive at once (grandparents, great-grandparents).
@@CoCo-ew7zi I understand that is most people's reality but I lost both my parents by the time I was 21. So, it's strange to me.
@@DMK48906 Oh, ok. That's unfortunate and I'm sorry for your loss.
@@CoCo-ew7zi Thank you.
Absolutely beautiful!❤
What a sweet story for Baby Kingston James!
This just appeared in my timeline today, 9/4/22. Ok, why y'all making me cry on this Sunday morning?!?😭 This is such a sweet story! I love these "random accidental meeting" stories where people stay in touch years later.😊 Great, positive story!❤
It appeared on my timeline 9/9/22 the day after the queen of England die🙏🙏
Wow, the story appeared in my timeline on Sunday September 11th!
Kingston James Hall...a beautiful name and story! ❤❤❤
Southern Hospitality is so unmatched! There is a sense of love and community in your average Southern household. This story is a representation on just that. So beautiful!!! 💕❤️Kingston James💕❤️
Absolutely. You wont find that warm, caring, loving sense of community up here in northeast. Everyone here looks drained and dont wanna be bothered.
Speak for YOURSELF!!!!!!!
This warms my heart ♥️ and renews my faith in our country.
This literally made me cry. 😭 ❤
This has me crying 😭 so sweet. No doubt he will be raised with unconditional love from so many people. Lucky little boy ❤️
my mom was named for her grandmother, mom was born in their front bedroom on a xmas day moments after her grandmother passed away in the back bedroom just feet away.
What an absolutely beautiful family, and such a precious name for a gorgeous shining star of a boy! Kingston James, you are so loved.
This story reminds me of July 2, 2023, as I sat bedside with my parents while my little sister was dying. I had taken a coffee break and was headed up to my sisters room again when out of the elevator came a new mama and her precious newborn baby girl. I stopped and asked her name, congratulated the mama, and we shared a few tears.
I missed the elevator my mom took up, because I just had a feeling I was supposed to stop and take comfort in the beauty and hope of new life.
As soon as I got back up to my sister’s room, within minutes, she took her last breath. I whispered to her that there was a brand new baby girl who could use an angel, and that I would take care of sissy’s children forever.
Bless you, Kingston James and family.
Kingston James Hall... what a beautiful name.
So sweet. Rip Mr. James. This lil boy will have a great life. Bless them all
What a cute little boy!
I cried such a beautiful story in these uncertain times.
This is a tear jerker… there are still amazing people in this world!
What a beautiful tribute to the lady's dad passing. I'm weeping like a newborn out the womb. My Lord! 😢 just beautiful ❤️ The mom and her son are gorgeous.
Kingston James, what a strong name and what a sweet mama he has, you can tell she loves that boy fiercely! ❤️ I’m an L&D nurse and I am always curious to hear families tell their stories of how baby’s name was chosen. This was a heartwarming video.
AWWWW I felt chills when Kingston said his full name at the end 🙏🏾🕊️🤍
This reminds me of when people actually cared about others...I smiles and cried watching this wonderful story.. Great name Kingston James....May GOD bless all of them!!!
People still care about each other, don't let the angry internet loudmouth types fool you into thinking we don't. 😘
What a sweet story! A reminder to humanity that we can really be better, do better and love one another beyond any divide - even as strangers. I hope this story spreads. 🧡
Oh my goodness, this kind of kindness and goodness is what we need to see more of!! I am bawling xoxoxo Beautiful!!!!
Exactly
"LOVE OVERALL VALUES EVERYONE.....THAT INCLUDES ONE'S SELF"
Hug lots, hugs often ❤
This was such a necessary story to hear. Love is still the answer 🥰
I am in tears this is so precious 💜
OMG.... Love this great story. We need more stories like this instead of All the negative. Kingston James is adorable 🥰

Beautiful family and beautiful story. We need more positive stories like this. God bless all
"Family is everything, if you don't have faith, you have nothing" I love this story 💙
Love this story and follow-up. Made my day. The beauty of three families intersecting. ❤
I came across this story and what a coincidence that my children Father's name is James too who pass some time ago. He I founded out save a infant girl who was put in his backyard. The baby has now become a part of my family. Thank u. You don't have to be family to be family. You just have to care. God bless y'all.
I love this story give me chills every time I watch it ♡♡♡♡♡
OMG this is a sweet story. And look how Kingston James just walked up and hugged her. Good lawd and now I am crying!
There are so many stories about the kindness of strangers and unexpected blessings given to each other but we very seldom hear them. Each national news media should show a story like this daily. Give us something positive to see and talk about daily. Lovely story. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🙏🏾
ok damn it i cried through this entire video this is a cute and sweet story i love it
What an beautiful story! I love the way all the pieces connect! And ironically, My grandfather was born January 12th, and so was my oldest nephew also born on that day! And my god-son named his son, Kingston also. Amazing! I can't wait to see who Kingston James grows up to be. He is destined for GREATNESS!
Oh my heart ❤️ !!!!! I am sitting here holding my little James ! Born January 12, 2022!! Crying my eyes out !! This is so beautiful! Thank you so much for this story!
Doesn't matter what age you are, the loss of parent is devastating. I know 1st hand & feel her pain. So kind of that young lady & her husband to honor such a sweet sincere letter. Little Kingston will have a great understanding of kindness for life ❤❤❤
Name fit for a king! 👶🏼 👑
Miracles happens everyday this is simply Beautiful story ❤️ ♥️ 💖
I’m pregnant with my 4th child and I found myself weeping lol 😂 I never cry and rarely have time to watch much this was just absolutely beautiful!!!!
