5/11/09 - Goodbye Sweetheart...for now.



Time is going so slow as if people are flying by us, but our world is standing still. The pain in our hearts burn and the tears flow freely like a never ending waterfall. Our eyes try to close as our bodies are fatigued, but our minds are racing with the thoughts of the memories we shared with Kayleigh through these past 11 months. Our souls are screaming with pain as this story was supposed to have a different, dream come true ending. We hold each other close, squeezing tightly, praying this sense of emptiness will fade away.

We never thought we'd finally leave the hospital one last time with an empty car seat and an empty crib to bring our precious daughter home in. The house is cold, it is dark and it is lonely. Our arms that once held this precious miracle will never hold her again anytime soon. We will lay our heads to rest tonight, we will soon wake, but we won't be returning to the hospital. We said our last goodbye only to say hello again one day in the distant future.

Kayleigh rests peacefully, in no more discomfort, and in no more pain. She looked so beautiful tonight as she took her last and final breath, and her beating heart took one last and final beat. Her sparkling brown eyes are now closed and her body now remains still. She is now in the presence of our Lord, her broken body made new, surrounded in the comforting arms of those we've loved who greeted her in the glorious Heaven we know.

Time now stands still for all of us who will miss her dearly, who have been touched by her miraculous journey, and who will never forget her soft sweet smell. Kayleigh will forever be our one pound miracle from God and we certainly will all look forward to seeing her again, holding her in our arms and dancing in circles until we can't dance anymore. No words can describe how amazing and beautiful Kayleigh is, but we all know too well that this is only goodbye, for now.

May this day be remembered for the rest of our lives. May Kayleigh's story continue to teach us about faith and the miracles our Lord can create when we all pray together as a whole. May Kayleigh's story continue to give us hope in our own personal journeys and give us the strength to never give up the fight. May Kayleigh's story continue to fill our hearts with love so that we may hold each other tight and support those in need.

When you tuck your children in bed or kiss your loved one goodnight, please say a prayer for our family. Please pray that we will have strength to get through this difficult time and we will grow in our faith so much more for having experienced the work of God through Kayleigh. Pray we will be there for each other and hold one another tight, as Kayleigh was and will forever hold a special place in our hearts.

We plan to have a memorial next weekend (most likely Sunday) for our sweet Kayleigh and EVERYONE who can come, is invited. We will be posting further details shortly so everyone has time to prepare. We will cry together, laugh together and remember what a precious blessing God has given us all through Kayleigh. May we come together and praise God for the love he has bestowed in all of us.

"Kayleigh, we know our life on earth is just a spec of time compared to the life we have in eternity with you and our Lord. We look forward to the day that we can pick you up and swing you around, dancing, singing and worshipping together. I am sure that your journey to Heaven was greeted with many open arms.

We are so very proud of you for everything you have done in such a short period of time. You've showed us what strength truly is, what determination truly is and what love truly is. There will not be a day that passes that we won't look at your photos and remember how awesome you felt in our arms. Your soft skin that brushes our lips and your tiny little hands that grip our fingers for comfort will always be missed.

We will never get to tuck you in your own bed at night and we will never get to pick you up when you fall. We will never get to hold your hand while you cross the street and I will never get to walk you down the aisle, but please know that your Mommy and I are so blessed that God gifted us with your love, even if it was only for a very short period of time. You will always be in our hearts and we can't wait until we meet again. We love you endlessly and we already miss you so very much! Goodbye Sweetheart...for now."

Love,

Mommy and Daddy


Our wishes were granted and Kayleigh finally felt the cool breeze on her face.





And we finally got to hold our precious miracle without anything attached.





Rest in peace our sweet Angel!

We love you so very much!

Kayleigh Anne Freeman (June 23, 2008 - May 11, 2009 @ 9:44PM)

As I sit here reading your story, I have tears in my eyes. I look at the pictures of both of you holding your baby girl and I see such peace and love. In memory of your daughter let your love for each other grow strong and know that she is always with you.

Thank you for sharing your story with all of us. I have been following along but have not posted until now. I am so truly sorry for your loss. Kayleigh was a beautiful miracle who touched so many.

Thank you for allowing those of us who shared your journey to be reminded daily about the wonders that God gives. In her short life, Kayleigh solidified and strengthened the faith of countless people. You were blessed to have her as your daughter and she was equally blessed to have you as her parents.

In Kayleigh's memory, I will hug my son a little tighter and pray that your family will find peace until you are reunited with Kayleigh again.

Prayers and love from Jenn K. in Grand Haven, Michigan

My heart is broken as I try to even imagine what yours must feel like. I sit here with tears running down my face, yet I know it can't be a fraction of what you have cried and are crying.

I am so incredibly sorry that Kayleigh is no longer with you. I am glad that she is no longer suffering though. She was such an amazing little girl.

I have been praying for you and will continue to. God bless.

I have no words to say to comfort you at this tough time. My tears are flowing not for Kayleigh becuase I smile alittle when I think about her with our glorious God and how I will be there someday. I can wait to meet her and tell her what amazing parents she had. How she has changes so many lives and how I feel like she is apart of my family even though we have never met. She has done amazing things for the world and for the Lord. Without even saying a world. She is a true angel.
Adam, Please continiue to update us on your family and lives. I have grown to feel so close to you guys. I known you will make it through this and you love for Amie is amazing.

I have been following beautiful Kayleigh's story since you first started this blog. Kayleigh's story is much like my daughters story. R was a 25 week preemie. While she was able to come home for a bit, she spent the last 6 months in the hospital, had a trach and we also thought the ending would be so very different. But, at 15 months, R needed to rest and be at peace. I too remember finally holding her without any attachments...I hold that memory very close. Please know that you are not alone. Kayleigh touched the lives of so many people. she will always be remembered. You and your beautiful family are in my thoughts and prayers

Tami from SD said...

Not a day has gone by in the last month that I haven't thought of your family and said a prayer. Kayleigh has certainly touched many lives and brought so many closer to God. What a precious beautiful gift you've been given! And while I can rejoice in her journey, my heart breaks for you. God bless you all today.

Kayleigh has touched so many lives in the small smount of time she was here with us, what an mazing daughter she was to all of you. I am not going to say I know what you are going through, I am simply going to say I am praying for you so that you can get through this diffucult time.

Adam remember your post about holding his hand and praising him through this storm.

Kayleigh will have my Gabrielle(my angel baby) in heaven to dance and to play with.

We love you Freemans!

Adam and Aimee,
I am so sorry to hear this devastating news. I really don't know what to say. You will remain in my prayers. When my daughter passed this song was sang at a memorial for her. I find the lyrics express everything that I felt and still feel.

In my dreams, you are alive and well
Precious child, precious child

In my mind, I see you clear as a bell
Precious child, precious child

In my soul, there is a hole
That can never be filled
But in my heart, there is hope
'Cause you are with me still

In my heart, you live on
Always there never gone
Precious child, you left too soon
Tho' it may be true that we're apart
You will live forever... in my heart

In my plans, I was the first to leave
Precious child, precious child
But in this world, I was left here to grieve
Precious child, my precious child

In my soul, there is a hole
That can never be filled
But in my heart there is hope
And you are with me still

In my heart you live on
Always there, never gone
Precious child, you left too soon,
Tho' it may be true that we're apart
You will live forever... in my heart

God knows I want to hold you,
See you, touch you
And maybe there's a heaven
And someday I will again
Please know you are not forgotten until then

In my heart you live on
Always there never gone
Precious child, you left too soon
Tho' it may be true that we're apart
You will live forever... in my heart

My deepest sympathies to you all - I am so sorry for your loss....

Daddy, please don't look so sad,
Mama please don't cry~
"Cause I am in the arms of Jesus
and He sings me lullabies."
Please, try not to question God,
Don't think he is unkind
Don't think He sent me to you,
and then He changed his mind.
You see, I am a special child,
and I'm needed up above
I'm the special gift you gave Him,
the product of your love.
I'll always be there with you
and watch the sky at night,
Find the brightest star that's gleaming,
That's my halo's brilliant light.
You'll see me in the morning frost,
that mists your window pane.
That's me in the summer showers,
I'll be dancing in the rain.
When you feel a little breeze,
from a gentle wind that blows
That's me, I'll be there,
planting a kiss on your nose.
When you see a child playing,
and your heart feels a little tug,
That's me, I'll be there,
giving your heart a hug.
So Daddy, please don't look so sad,
Mama don't your cry.
I'm in the arms of Jesus
and He sings me lullabies.

I'm so sad to hear about your precious loss of Kayleigh yet we know she is with her Lord. I'm praying that you and your family will continue to feel the Lord's presence as He grips and holds you tight.
I thank you for sharing Kayleigh's story - I came across your blog last week and she has been on my mind. She is a sweet blessing from God and I know her memories will be cherished by you.

She is a beautiful miracle. I am so sorry for your heartache. I will pray for your family, for your hearts; that God will comfort you and keep you in such a difficult time.

I have only just found Kayleigh's story a month ago or so, but I have followed it and prayed so very hard for your family. I am broken hearted for you.

Rita in Ohio said...

Dear Adam and Aimee,

I am so sorry to read about little Kayleigh. Please know that you are both in my prayers to find comfort and some relief from the horrible pain of losing your precious baby. You are such wonderful and selfless parents and Kayleigh knew that, in her innocent, untainted baby soul. What a wonderful gift you gave her always- undying, unconditional love.

You are also God's children and He does not want you to suffer endlessly without comfort. Reach out to your friends and family and other parents of angel babies. Take comfort in knowing that precious little Kayleigh is smiling, gleefully enjoying Jesus's rocking chair. Take comfort in holding each other in the exact same love that surrounded and surrounds Kayleigh.

God bless your beautiful baby soul, sweet little Kayleigh Anne.

Sara said...

I am so sorry. I am just heartbroken for you and your family. I have been following sweet Kayleigh's story for months and I just am so sorry. It did make my heart smile to see you both holding her without any of her wires or tubes. What a feeling to just hold her - nothing attached.
God is with you as you enter these next days and weeks. I will be praying for you. My Samuel is in Heaven with Kayleigh and I will picture the two of them running through the flowers together.
God bless.

John and Jenna Gensic said...

You have a beautiful family and your faith in God is in an inspiration to everyone. We've been praying for your family for awhile now and continue to do so even more fervently if that's possible. Kayleigh is a sweet miracle. I'm sorry for your loss on Earth and know you have so many thinking and praying for you.

Jenelle said...

I am sitting at my computer not knowing what to say. I am terribly sorry for the extreme pain you are feeling now. Please get comfort knowing that God places everyone on this earth for a purpose. Kayleigh's purpose was to bring thousands closer to faith and to reflect the love and power of God. She is now in heaven looking down on this earth. She is perfect...Not in pain, no worries. She has touched so many lives around the world. You can be so proud of her! Times will be tough, but rest comfortably knowing that someday you will see her again! She is such a sweet angel! May God's love and comfort be with you through this terribly difficult time. We are praying for you!

Our little man went Home unexpectedly in February but he had been reading your blog with me for months. He was taken with Kayleigh because she was the same size at birth as our stillborn daughter, so he could relate to her like a sister.

They are siblings in Christ and I can see him taking Kayleigh's sweet little hand and showing her around now. He loved babies. :)

We understand your pain and we pray for your peace that transcends understanding. We're not rushing our lives here but instead of each day being one more without Mason, I try to think of it as one day closer to Heaven and seeing my beautiful boy again. That's not so hard.

I have followed Kayleigh's story for almost 9 months now, and your updates were among the first checked in the early morning hours. I am so very sorry for your loss, but I am comforted by the truth that she is with Jesus now, free of pain and the constraints of this world. But as someone who has loved and lost, the comfort that brings does not take away the hurt, the ache and the sadness of what we all wanted-which was for Kayleigh to get better and come home with her family. We have to trust that someday when we join her in heaven we will understand His plan. Until then we trust Him because we know that He loves us and wants what's best for us-even if sometimes we must go through some pain.

I will keep your family in my prayers and will continue to come and check on you-I hope you continue to tell her story here, because it is not over just because she is not here. Kayleigh has reached more people for Jesus than most adults do in their lifetimes. Thank you Adam and Aimee, from the bottom of my heart, for sharing your precious daughter with us. We love you!

I am so sorry for your loss. I can't even think of what words to write but it is good to know that Kayleigh now has the opportunity to be free of machines, tubes, and most importantly, pain.

Dear Adam and Aimee,

I am soo sorry, I have been following the story of your beautiful, amazing, gorgeous kayleigh since the beginning, and I can't believe we have lost her. My heart and prayers go out to you and your family tonight and always - We will never forget your beautiful and courageous little girl. How can someone sooo tiny affect so many people the way Kayleigh has - it is love - the love of her wonderful, wonderful parents and the love Kayleigh has brought to the worlds of those that got to know her here, she has left a legacy that humbles us. The tears will not stop, and neither will the love we have for you and your family. I wish Scarlett and I could attend the memorial in person - but that is not possible from Australia, but our hearts and souls will be there. words now fail me, but I am sending all the love I have your way.

Grieve for your beautiful daughter that touched so many people across the world. Rely on your faith to get you through the hard days. I hope your blog and pictures tells her story for years to come. You all have touched so many people. I'm so very sorry for your loss. I will miss seeing the pictures and updates of Kayleigh and the miracle that she was and still is.

Words leave me as there is absolutely nothing I can say right now to provide comfort. I am so very sorry...

I'm so sorry it isn't enough may the Lord ease these difficult times and I pray you feel His arms around you holding you up when you no longer have the strength to do it yourself. It is so amazing how He has used one very tiny little girl so greatly. It will be a fine day when we finally meet Kayleigh for the first time or see her again. Once again I'm just so sorry...

How amazing that Kayleigh is the Lord's arms now - restored and whole. What a journey it has been for your family, and I am sure that God has taught you so much along the way ... probably things you would never have learned had it not been for Kayleigh. May our Lord give you the strength you need for each moment of every day. Thank you for the tower of strength you have been to me through your testimoney and faith. Much love and prayers from Durban, South Africa.

What can I say? I have no words to describe what pain you have to endure. I'm just lost, so many questions running through my head and I am angry that this had to happen. I knew that Kayleigh was destined to change the world, just not with an untimely death. I will miss seeing your beautiful face here Kayleigh and cheering on all your progress that brings you one step closer to home. I will miss reading the joy in your daddy's post's over how wonderfully your doing. Forever you will be in my heart and many other's as well, I hope your teachings go on and I look forward to being in Heaven one day and glimpsing you in your mommy and daddy's arms where you belong!

I wish I had the words that could bring you some comfort, but I know I do not. I wish that I could give y'all a big hug and just let you cry. Sweet, sweet Kayleigh will forever be one of my heroes. She endured so much, and proved so many people wrong. She made God so visible, by bringing so many of us together and bring people closer to Him. You have one amazing daughter, who is now free from tubes, pain, and any hurt this world brings. Y'all will forever remain in my thoughts and prayers.

Becky said...

Words fail me. I think of the joy Kaleigh must be feeling right now in heaven, and also of the sorrow that your family feels. I hope that we can all help lift your burdens as you grieve. No parent should ever bury a child. Kaleigh has touched so many hearts, and will continue to do so. I am a stranger to you, but I have been following your blog for several months now. I will continue to pray for you, after the memorial, as you try to find a new "normal." I am so grateful for Kaleigh's life.

Anonymous said...

Please do not doubt your ability and strength to see each new day thru. I have seen God shape your hearts, your life in each post since Kayleigh arrived. This was truly Divine Preparation. You are both two of the strongest people I know and I have had the privilege of watching that strength grow. You are amazing. Our Lord has most definitely prepared you because you are walking examples of His love and His trust. Anyone can see that. Bask in what He has done in your hearts and in the strength He has planted and nurtured just so for this exact moment. Now is the time to reap what He sowed and has been tending in you since June 23rd. Not for one minute do I think that basking in that strength will be easy or without tears....but what I do know for sure is what I see in you........Him....and the ability to completely trust. Wish I could hug you. xxxx

I know that words are just that right now and the traditonal. "I am sorry for you lost". does not even touch the pain that you and your wife must be enduring right now. I pray that you find comfort and peace in our Lord Jesus Christ and his promise that you will see Kayleigh again. I pray for your other children in this time as well; that they may see the faith that you and Aimee have and find strength in that faith. Goodbye for now sweet Kayleigh!

Psalm 34:18 The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

I only started reading your blog a few weeks ago, but you have been and will continue to be in my prayers. May you rest in the shelter of His wings and glory in His Sovereign plan and His matchless love for His children.

Rest peacefully sweet Kayleigh!!! You have touched my life and I will NEVER forget you!!! Adam and Amy, the news of Kayleigh's passing breaks my heart for you. This is the toughest thing any parent could endure. As you said, the only comfort is knowing that it is only good-bye for now. Keep your faith and stay strong for Allyson and Brandon.

Emily said...

My heart breaks, and at the same time rejoices. It breaks for you- for your loss, for the world- for losing Kayleigh, but it rejoices in knowing that Kayleigh is more free now than she has ever been, than we have ever been. I am so saddened to hear of your loss, but I pray God gives you peace to pass understanding. Kayleigh has already touched so many lives, many more than I am sure you ever imagined, and I believe her story has only begun to touch the many many lives it will touch before all is said and done. AsI hold my baby tonight and rock him to sleep, I will be more thankful than I was yesterday and I will think of you, praying with tears of both sadness and joy. I only wish I lived closer so I could come celebrate Kayleigh's life with you. I will be there in spirit.

Amy said...

It's so strange because even though all signs were pointing toward the inevitable - I am in shock this morning to read your post. I am so sad for you and just can't even begin to come up with the right words. I loved your little girl more than you can imagine. I feel honored to have known her.

Praying for you right now. Praying that God will give you the strength to get through this time. Praying that you remember all the wonderful time you had with Kayleigh here on earth. I too lost a child as I went into preterm labor at 21 weeks. Jacob is loving life in heaven right now. I am rejoicing with you as we WILL get to see our children again. God gives us hope! May HE keep you strong.

For sweet Kayleigh, Aimee and Adam, this is a poem I was given for my little girl, I hope it can help you too.

She was here.
She had to go.
There is nothing left to hold close now - apart from the love we shared.
But she has changed our lives. Forever.
And the heavens and the oceans heard her song.

Adam and Aimee, you will never lose your love for Kayleigh, or her love for you.
Thinking of you,

TheFerebeeThree...Four! said...

I am so sorry for your loss. Kayleigh is a beautiful little girl and obviously a very special miracle. You can see such love on your faces in the pictures. I believe God never gives us more then He equips us to handle - He knew you would love Kayleigh and be wonderful parents to her while she was here. Now she is with Him and one day you will be reunited. May God's love and grace be with you during this time of grief.

Psalm 139 comes to mind specifically verses 13-16. Kayleigh was "fearfully and wonderfully made". Although we do not know each other your family will be in my prayers.

I know the pain is harder than anything you've ever faced. In my worst moments, when I miss my children like nothing else, I think of them, in the light of heaven, waiting for me, happy in the presence of God. And I can get on. Their kisses in the rain, their hugs in the wind. Their love in the sunshine. I am so sorry that you are going through this pain, but I'm so happy that you had time with your beauitful, precious daughter.

Even though you dont know us, whatever we can do, please let us know.

Thank you so much for sharing your sweet angel with everyone. May God give you peace and comfort until you meet again.

Kerren said...

I am so very sorry for your loss.. Her life was a story of so many miracles - and her passing is a tragedy of the worst kind.

I have been crying since I read the news - I had to tell my three-year-old that a very sweet baby girl went home to Jesus as Caleb couldn't understand why mommy was sitting at the computer sobbing..

I blogged about her.. again... and sent text messages to just about everybody I know.. So many people in my world (who don't have internet) have been following her story through me, and I was so heart-sore to have to tell them the news.. I cannot even begin to imagine your pain..

My heart goes out to you both, as well as Allyson and Brandon..

Kayleigh has touched so many lives, and I wish it were possible for me to be at her service. I will be with you in prayer and spirit.

May your hearts find peace at this tragic time.

Andrea said...

When I saw your title this morning, my heart just dropped. The tears started to fall and I started to ache for you.
I am also rejoicing though. Kayleigh is in the presence of Jesus and is in Heaven!! What a wonderful thing to know. I had prayed and hoped her time with you here on Earth had been longer, but I am so happy for the time you did get to spend with Kayleigh!
When I stumbled upon your blog on December 15, 2008, I had no idea that such a sweet little girl who I would never meet could changed my life! What a blessing it has been to share in your joys and sorrows.
Thank you for sharing Kayleigh's story with all of us. Even though I live far away and will not be able to attend Kayleigh's memorial service, we will be doing something here in Indiana to honor her life on that same day.
May God be with you during this time of grieving. We will be praying for you and we love you!!

Kayleigh will be missed by all, because you shared her with all.

First I want to say how sorry I am that you were not able to take Kayleigh home and spend that special time together you all wanted so much. Kayleigh has touched my life in so many ways she is beautiful and her will to fight JUST AMAZING.. she was here for so many reasons and your baby and your family have touched so many lives.And now she is in the arms of our loving Lord who knew she needed to come home to be able to live. Her work was completed. I checked on Kayleigh so many times through out the day to see if any new post where there. I was very burdened yesterday for her and your family I was afraid either she was hurting or your family was trying to ready yourself's for her final journey on this earth. Your faith and strength has touched me and shown me what a wonderful true Lord we have and that I want to get even closer to Him. I wish I lived closer I would be at her memorial but know you all are in my prayers and thoughts and I will be there in spirit. Thank you for sharing your beautiful miracle with us and letting us be a part of her life. She is looking down and watching over you all and she knows how much she is loved. Thanks for the pictures they are beautiful and the last ones well they say it all.
God's Blessings on you and your family.

Lord- Hold them tight, comfort their aching hearts and souls, bring their sweet one to them in their dreams, we Thank you sweet Jesus for your gift of forever in the most perfect of places- hold Allyson and Brandon tight and confort them as they see their Mama and Daddy ache at dreams lost and rejoice at having been a part of this amazing child of Gods far too short life and bring strength, love and hope to this amazing faithful family. I ask Lord that you continue to provide for them emotionally, spiritually and financially in this most trying of times. We praise your name Lord, for we know that with you and through you that we all again be reunited. Sweet angel baby Kayleigh~ May you dance and sing and play the days away until your loving Mama, Daddy, Allyson and Brandon (and all of your extended family that is suffering and aching as well) can join you in the most perfect of places for the greatest party of all, Your sweet face will not be forgotten, your strength and your fight, your spirit- you have changed so many lives, and brought so many to know the Lord, perhaps that was part of HIS plan? You truly did more in your short life then many would do in 10 lifetimes. I can already see you you made whole and the glow of your beautiful Angel wings. Please visit your Mama and Daddy in their dreams often- give them peace in your angelic touch.
Lord we know that in your Holy name these will be done. Amen

Oh Adam & Aimee,

I am so sorry for your loss of Kayleigh. As I sit here and cry I know that my tears are nothing in comparison to yours. We LOVE Kayleigh with all of our hearts and know that she will never be alone. Michaela was there waiting for her and please know that she will be there and be Kayleigh's best friend. My daddy Papa George is also up there and I already asked God to have him ready when she went home to be with Our Lord so he could be there to help with her, to make her feel at home. I LOVE you guys so much. I will email you lster.

In Our Lord's Hands she is right now.

Im so sorry.

Im sorry that heart has broken into many pieces.

Im sorry, that your world will never be the same.

Im sorry, that your little girl will never see her room you prepared for her.

Im sorry, that you will not get to pick her up when she falls, or walk her down the isle.

Im sorry that your home feels so lonely, dark and cold at this very moment.

Im sorry there is nothing I can do or say to make this any better or even go away.

Im deeply and truly sorry that your time with your beautiful little girl was so short.

But I am thrilled to know that she is fully healed and in peace and free from all the machines and tubes....and like you said that WE ALL will get to meet her face to face and watch her dance and sing and play. God says there is dancing and singing in heaven. I can see her now just thinking about it.

There will be no more scars. No more pain. No more drugs. No more hospitals.

Only laughter, love, comfort, singing and dancing.

Please, please, please know that I feel honored knowing Kayleigh through your words and pictures. Thank you for sharing YOUR ONE POUND MIRACLE. What a beauty and what an angel she was and will forever be.

God Bless you and your family....and you better believe it. I WILL BE PRAYING for your family.

My heart is heavy..... I CARE.

I have been following your story for awhile and got to know your beautiful daughter. I have been praying for your family and will continue to keep in my prayers. I'm sorry for your loss. I know she is up in heaven and will be looking down at you. I know you will remember all the love you share with her and the time you got to spend with her. God Bless!

My heart is breaking for you as the tears roll down my face. Kayleigh DID bring so many people together, and I'm forever blessed by just "knowing" her. We are left here to grieve, but Kayleigh is alive and well, and healthy in the arms of Jesus. Praise God for that.

God bless you,
Jennifer in La.

Hello,

As Christians we are aliens in this world(1 Peter 2:11 ...I urge you, as aliens and strangers in the world...) and that was made even more clear to my family and me when our youngest son died last August at the age of 17 months. I cannot wait until we are reunited with our Lord and our son Caleb.

Caleb's death had a way of making clear to us what was important in life and where we place our priorities.

It has been pure joy to be able to share in sweet Kayleigh's Story and I'm thankful for the opportunity to share in your Hope that we will be reuinited with our "wee ones" in heaven.

A book that helped my family was called "Death of a Little Child" by Dr. J. Vernon McGee.

May you feel the presence and the comfort of the Lord during this most difficult time.

"But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." Isaiah 40:31

With Hope,
Cheryl

I am so sorry that Kayleigh is no longer with you. But I know you will see her again. She is in dancing and rejoicing in heaven.
there will be many who say the wrong things, meaning well.
Please forgive them.

I am praying for you.

Angie said...

God Bless those of you that remain. My heart aches for you and your family. I have grown to love your little girl so much and our kids prayed for her and you daily. The news that she is in heaven will surely be met with tears tonight but the joy that Kayleigh brought to you and to the world will last forever.

I am so so sorry to hear about Kayleigh's passing - but I try to remember she is now in heaven, free of tubes and pain, dancing with Jesus. Your sweet angel will be waiting up there - I, for one, cannot wait to meet her someday. Her little life has touched my heart in a big way. She is a blessing to all that read about her. Stay strong and may the Lord comfort your family in this time.
God Bless,
Kim in Kansas

I am so sorry for your loss. I know that this has been a long journey, I was praying for the storybook miricle that I know you were praying for as well. My heart breaks for you, you and your family will be in my prayers as you learn to live this new life without someone you love so dearly.
I rejoice for Kayleigh, no pain, no problems. Just a wonderful spot in heaven in God's arms - how glorious for her! I was blessed by her story - thank you for letting us follow you in this journey. I don't think you will ever know just how many lives were touched by Kayleigh.

Bless you and your family.

I just found your blog this morning after seeing a post on Twitter about Kayleigh. I wish I could have been around to read about Kayleigh during your struggles so I could have prayed with you then. I am so sorry for your loss...I cannot even begin to imagine how you must feel. I will keep your family in my thoughts and prayers. {{{{HUGS}}}}
