Travel influencer Christine Tran Ferguson reveals her one-year-old son has died

Travel influencer Christine Tran Ferguson has revealed that her 15-month-old son, Asher, has died. The New York City-based blogger shared a series of photos and videos of her son on Instagram on Tuesday announcing that the child had passed. In the caption, she began by calling her baby her ‘little angel,’ and reflecting on the ‘joy’ that he brought to her and her partner Ryan Ferguson’s life. ‘I have never known how much love and happiness I could have until you came into our life,’ she wrote. ‘You are the smartest & happiest little boy I’ve ever known. You were going to do amazing things and change the world, I just know it.’ She went on to describe some of the qualities about her son that she’ll continue to remember and miss. ‘I miss your little laughs, the way you stick out your tongue when you giggled, the way you picked up your food with your tiny chubby fingers, your little dance moves, how you clapped your hands, your little feet kicking a ball, the way you grab the hockey or golf sticks for dada, you just always knew how to make everyone smile,’ she wrote. Ferguson then expressed that her ‘heart is utterly broken and shattered into a million pieces,’ before explaining that she’s still trying to ‘make sense’ of the loss. ‘I’m still in shock, I just want to wake up from this unimaginable nightmare and have you back in my arms,’ she continued. ‘Why is this happening to us, why Asher?? You did not deserve any of this. Losing you is the hardest experience mommy and daddy has ever had to endure.’ While she didn’t specify a cause of death, she revealed on Instagram earlier this month that Asher was ‘fighting for his life in the ICU’.
