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!

My heart goes out to you. You were given an amazing gift from God and I thank you for sharing your miracle with the world. Through little Kayleigh, many lives have been changed. Some people found God or went back to Him. Your short time with her will remind people to spend more time with their children and be grateful for the little things in life. It just amazes me how such a tiny girl could have such a huge impact on the lives of so many. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Coral said...

I don't know you and you certainly don't know me but I've been following for weeks now praying so hard for a miracle.

My heart breaks to hear that beautiful Kayleigh is no longer with us. But I find comfort in knowing that she has gone home to the Lord and is healed.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. You and your amazingly strong daughter have touched me in ways you can never imagine. Thank you for sharing this journey with me, you have brought another closer to God.

Bless your family and everyone with you. I will never forget the strength that your family has tough me. How to believe in the unbelievable and to never give up. I believe little Kayleigh will always be with each and every one of us that has followed her story forever. A guardian angel that will look upon us, when we need hope or someone to brighten our day. I know I will never forget the things I have learned from her and the rest of your family. May god be with you, your family and friends.

I happened upon your blog by accident one night while I was surfing myspace, and someone had posted a comment asking for prayers, and I followed the link to your blog. I have followed your journey with Kayleigh from the beginning, and it makes me so sad that she is gone. I have a little boy who turns 4 months old today, and I can imagine what you are going through, I cant imagine what it would be like to lose him. I am so sorry for your loss, I read that she was gone and the tears just started running, I feel like I knew this little girl even though I never met her, and I couldnt wait for you guys to be able to bring her home. I hope that things will get easier in time for you and your family.

This is the first time I've read about Kayleigh and my heart is broken for you. What sweet pictures of you both holding your little miracle. They are beautiful and the look on each of your faces is one of peace and not bitterness. What a great testimony to Christ and the faith you have in Him.

Blessings to you.

I am so sorry for your loss. I learned so much from Kayleigh and from her wonderful parents. I feel like I am a better person and mother after reading all about her. I hope you are able to find peace in the end of her suffering. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family!

I am so sorry for you both but I have so much hope that God can and has made her whole again in His presence. I can't stop crying as I type this, but I want you both to know that your angel has made an impact on my life that even my own children never made on me. I now love them more, hold them tighter and appreciate everything in my life so much more because of Kayleigh! I can't wait to meet her one day and experience myself the wonderful miracle she is.

We love you all and pray for peace for you both. I will be so honored to make the journey for her memorial.

You are in my prayers during this time of loss. I pray for you God's peace and comfort and reassurance that your precious daughter is with Jesus.

Jennifer said...

I'm so sorry that Kayleigh didn't get to tell her story herself. And I am so sorry that you didn't get to bring her home after all the things she overcame. It's so hard to believe that this final stage of surgeries was the end and that these little surgeries took her life.

She is finally in heaven and I know she is thankful for having the parents she has who fought so hard for her. She is in pure peace where she can no longer feel pain or sorrow. Only joy! What a gift she is to all who have come to know her.

May you all rest in the comfort that only our God can provide.

My heart truly is breaking for your family. I've been following your progress since about August and really thought you'd at least get to take sweet Kayleigh home. She was such a fighter, and an amazing gift from God.

After years of infertility at age 40 I was expecting our precious baby boy only to lose him at 7 months gestation to a twisted cord. There is no comfort that satisfies outside of the loving arms of our Father. Praying he will hold you, carry you, cradle you, comfort you, and protect you.

Oh Kayleigh, I know your soul is in heaven, with angels and God welcoming you with rejoicing choirs, but that doesn't ease the pain that this is not how your story was supposed to end.

Even though you didn't have to share your lives with all of us in "blogworld", you did, and you did so with grace and class. Thank you for letting us all be a part of little Kayleigh's life. She was and is a beautiful girl and it will be so sweet when we can all worship together as one someday!

I hope you feel the love that everyone here has for you and the sorrow that we feel for you. Know that we have all dreaded this blog post title and the words that would follow. Its strange that one little person could touch so many lives and leave so many people heartbroken. That is ONE MIGHTY MIRACLE!

I wish I had some amazing words for you, something different than the other comments your friends have left for you. I've never experienced the loss of a child so I cannot imagine the pain you must feel and will not even try to pretend that I have the answers. You have been so faithful thus far and the only thing I can say is continue to live your life so that you may be worthy to enter into the presence of our Father and be with your Angel Kayleigh for eternity.

Praying that you and your family will be surrounded by Gods loving arms.

From one mom to another, I am blessed by you, and we have never met. God has used you in ways that you will never know. I am comforted through your words, knowing that your littl girl is no longer in pain, and resting sweetly in the arms of our Heavenly Father. God's timing is not our own, I feel that God let Kayleigh stay here on this earth for you to enjoy Mother's Day and then it was time for her to go be with him.

Be comforted in His arms, rest in His presence and know that all is at peace today and everyday!

Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

Please find comfort in knowing the profound impact Baby Kayleigh has had on the world!! What she and your family have taught us:

- God is good! Keep the faith no matter what!

- Miracles do happen! Never give up hope!

- Never take your children and family for granted. They will always love you and you them, but you will not always be together. Cherish every minute!

- The world can join together regardless of location, religion, race, financial status, etc., and we can join together for a common cause whether it be prayer, money, hope, love!

As I said in an earlier comment:

Kayleigh, The One Pound Miracle, Loved By Many!

Now, One Beautiful Angel!!!

Julie said...

Adam & Aimme,
My eyes filled with tears today as I read this post. I am so deepy sorry. There are no words that can be said to take away the pain that you feel. Kayleigh was a survivor. She fought with everything she had. She had a strength in her that cannot be duplicated. May she rest in peace knowing that she was a very loved little girl. Just know that she will be watching over you until the day comes that you can join her in heaven. My heart brakes for you & your family. You are always in our thoughts & prayers.

s said...

my heart breaks for your family. i know that little kayleigh is in a better place with no pain or suffering. no tubes and wires and machines. running around free, laughing, dancing, and most importantly watching over you all. i have followed kayliegh's story only for a short time but in that time she has won my heart, and your family will forever be in my prayers.

Allison said...

Tears, many tears for all of the Freemans....words from MercyMe (Homesick) "I close my eyes, and I see your face, If home's where my heart is, then I'm out of place, Lord won't you give me strength to make it through somehow; I've never been more homesick than now." Oh, praise Jesus that we have heaven to look forward to, and thank God for the ability to remember! We will all be home soon, hallelujah. Until then, prayers and tears will be offered for all of you. Love, Allison in WV

Crunchy Mama said...

I am so, so sorry. I think we all had such high hopes for a miracle - but at the same time.. She IS a miracle! So.. Despite what we all may have WANTED, we still got what we asked for. She is a miracle and always will be.

Thank you so much for sharing your story. My heart is broken for your family and for the loss of your beautiful baby girl. At the same time I am so happy that she finally feels no pain and is free. I am so, so sorry.. I wish there was something more I could say or do.

You are such strong, amazing people. Even if your baby is not here with you physically, I hope your family continues to blog and share your lives with all of us, so that we may watch Kayleigh grow in all of you. There is so much love for you all here.

Dear Freemans,

Tears are flowing freely and I am truely grieved by your loss. You both are such amazing parents, and I want to thank you for sharing your journey with the world. Your whole family has touched many lives and you have been such a light for Jesus. I am comforted to know that one day, I will have my turn in heaven to dance and play with Kayleigh, who is free of pain and sorrow. Until then, your family will continue to be in my prayers. I welcome my first child in 3 months, and once he is born, I will not take for granted every breath, every smile, every moment I have with my child.

Thank you for your amazing courage and faith. God Bless.

I have been following little Kayleigh for months now- and have never commented. I am so sorry for your loss. What a sweet daughter that you have. I have been and will continue to keep you all in my prayers and thoughts.

Gina said...

To The Freeman Family,

I stumbled upon your blog about 2 weeks ago, and have been so touched by your beautiful daughter. I hadn't prayed to God in a long time.

Kayleigh Anne brought this out in me. She showed me what miracles truly are. She showed me what strength of the spirit truly is. She was such an amazing person, even in her short time here. I am so proud of her, as are so many people.

Although she is no longer physically here, I know her spirit remains with your family, as well as with the thousands of people that she has touched. She is, and always will be an angel. I truly believe this.

I am so sorry for your loss. Kayleigh and your family have become so important to me over the months. I am a mother of five and I became a better mother because of Kayleigh. God works in miraculous ways and he definitely touched me through Kayleigh and her journey here on Earth and I can't wait to meet her one day in Heaven to say "Thank You!". Rest in peace Little One.
