Every motherly bone in my body ached at how wrong it felt.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Maggie continued, \u201cIt\u2019s also been one week of witnessing your little miracles. One week of seeing signs of you and feeling your little \u2018hellos.\u2019 I never expected how the pain and the consolation would go hand in hand. How each breath in my lungs would burn with the fact that we have to live on without you. And how each smile in my memory would give me visions of your smiles in Heaven.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite her family\u2019s grief over Micah\u2019s death from a severe case of the flu, Maggie wrote that they have also \u201cexperienced a lot of peace.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Along with the tribute, Maggie shared a photo of Micah\u2019s hand holding hers.<\/p>\n<p>Paul shared the news of Micah\u2019s death on December 31.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter fighting 11 long hard days, [Micah] went home to the house of our father,\u201d he said in a video. \u201cWe are so proud of him.

There is a deep, aching hole in my heart. Even though our home is filled with people, it\u2019s too quiet without you,\u201d she wrote via Instagram on January 2. \u201cI keep thinking I\u2019ll look outside and see you laughing on the swings. Or you\u2019ll slowly open my door and walk up to my bed and that I\u2019ll hear your sweet voice saying, \u2018Mama?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Maggie continued, \u201cOh, the pain is indescribable. And yet, you have shown us in multiple ways that you are with us. It\u2019s not the same joy as holding your hand or hearing your voice, but there is an unexplainable joy that only comes with knowing you are with Jesus. That you are in our true home. And that you are very, very happy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The social media personality, who also shares kids Audrey, Remy, Joey Aiden and John Paul with Paul, asked Micah to \u201ccontinue to visit\u201d her.<\/p>\n<div id=\"news-block\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-form  \">\n<div class=\"newsletter-signup__success\" aria-live=\"polite\">\n<h3>Thank You!<\/h3>\n<p>You have successfully subscribed.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cYou were always such a good helper and eager to make me smile. And I will keep asking for your help. My boy. I am so proud of you,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>Paul, who has over 300,000 followers on Instagram, first revealed on December 21 that Micah had been rushed to the hospital in an ambulance after a \u201cmedical emergency.\u201d A later update revealed that Micah had a severe case of the flu, which prompted sepsis and seizures. He was <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/celebrity-news\/news\/influencer-paul-kims-son-5-on-life-support-after-medical-emergency\/\">placed on life support<\/a>, while brain scans found that activity was \u201cnot present\u201d in his body.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis incredibly difficult, impossible time for our family \u2014 it\u2019s been the hardest thing I\u2019ve ever been through in my life and it continues to be,\u201d Paul said of Micah\u2019s hospitalization in his December 31 video. \u201cFor those two weeks we were fighting long and hard, we were consulting legal, health, ethical teams even outside the hospital. Just to make sure we weren\u2019t leaving any stone unturned. In many ways we were fighting for Micah to buy him as much time as possible, until he passed. As a father, that is my duty I was called to do that. Even if in God\u2019s ultimate will it wasn\u2019t meant for him to recover.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.usmagazine.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Catholic influencer Paul Kim\u2019s wife, Maggie Kim, is paying tribute to their 5-year-old son, Micah, one week after his death. \u201cIt\u2019s been one week since we had to leave the hospital.
