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!

«Oldest ‹Older 1001 – 1200 of 2264 Newer› Newest»I'm so very sorry about your loss. Will be praying for you and your family.
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.
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.
I too have left the hospital with an empty carseat, it was the longest ride home. My heart breaks for you two. May God bless you with peace during this time.

My heart just broke as I read the news. I am so sorry and words are inadequate. Please know that my prayers continue for your family as you try and catch your breath after all that has happened. I am so thankful that Kayleigh's struggle is over, and yet so sad that yours has just begun on a new page. May God hold your family close in His loving arms. I am so sorry.
Love and Hugs, Laurie
Forever in our hearts Kayleigh will be.. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family. Bless you Sweet Kayleigh!
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.
Sincerely,
Dasheka

My heart goes out to you and your family. Your darling Kayleigh, a miracle and a blessing, is free now and will be waiting for you until you meet again. May your faith continue to give you strength in the face of such a sad loss. You and Kayleigh are in my prayers.
Tears fill my eyes and my heart hurts for you this morning! I can just see Jesus holding Kayleigh right now. I am praying for your family!
I am so very sorry for your loss! I found your blog just yesterday. Just know she is not in any pain anymore and will be waiting for you in Heaven. God bless you in this hard time.
I don't even know what to say.
Thank you for sharing her journey with us. Thank you for introducing me to this wonderful baby. Thank you for renewing my faith and hope in God. May God bless and keep you. May God's face shine on you. May God be kind to you and give you peace during this difficult time.
Kayleigh - sweet angel baby. Thank you too. You're a miracle baby and you will ALWAYS have a special place in my heart. I'll never forget you and everything you've taught me in your short time here. Watch over your Mommy, Daddy and your siblings. Help them find peace again from your spot in heaven.
God Bless you all.
Love from MN.

I am SO deeply sorry for your loss. Words cannot express how heavy my heart is right now. I am bawling as I type this...wishing I didn't have to type this.
Find peace in knowing that she is with the Lord and is with many wonderful people. She will always watch over you and you will meet again!
I will continue to pray for your healing.
My heart goes out to your family - we will keep you in our daily prayers!
I have no words. We love you all so much. Please take care of each other.
Love,
Rebeccajo19 and family
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.
We are so very sad Kayleigh will no longer be part of our Earthly family, but we rejoice that Kayleigh is now running, playing and enjoying perfect health with our Heavenly Father!
We grieve with you.
With love and prayer,
The Smiths (in Hendersonville, TN)
I am so very sorry for your loss...what an amazing testimony of strength, hope, and faith your daughter's tiny life has been. God bless you in your time of pain. You will see her again, whole and healthy someday soon!
My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. Know that Kayleigh is with our God in heaven and she will watch over and love you as you did for her here on earth.
Peace to you and your family.
Wishing you peace.
My heart breaks for you all. May God be with you all during this time. She is truly a blessing and beautiul.
Alison, TX (BBC)
I'm so sorry... My heart aches with you and I'm crying... even though I don't know you and probably will never meet this side of Heaven! I pray one day I can meet little Kayleigh, healed and healthy!
there are no words I can type to properly describe my grief for you and for Kayleigh... I am sorry... so so sorry...
We are all weeping with you.
And praying for you.
And so, so sorry.
Shannon
Praying or your peace and healing in Dalton, GA. your baby girl is an inspiration and she will be there with open arms when it is time to be reunited. God Bless You.
Thank you for sharing Kayleigh. And Blessed be the day you are together again. My 5 year old son and I have been praying for your family and will continue to.
I don't know you-I just learned of your little angel. My heart is breaking for you and your family. Many hugs & prayers coming out to you all. (((hugs))))
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.
With Love,
Samantha (In VA)
Wishing you peace and comfort in this time, knowing that Kayleigh is in a better place with no pain, no discomfort and the joy of a free spirit at last. She will be watching over your family until you meet again.
God bless all the doctors and nurses who also cared so lovingly for Kayleigh during her life.
Your friends, Jackie, Mike & Robert in Charlotte
I am so sorry for your loss.... God bless you and your beautiful angel...
I have been in awe of Kayleigh and her story from the beginning. May Jesus be with you all now, just as He is with sweet Kayleigh now.
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.
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.
From another micropreemie mom whose son lost his battle...
My Heart is broken for you guys. I am praying & crying for your family. Your family has touched my family so much. We Love You and are Praying for you.
We Love you Kayleigh!

You have touched my life the last few weeks. My God continue to give you strength and guidance as you travel this difficult road. I will give my kids an extra hug and kiss tonight, thanking God that He has given me these wonderful blessings. Thank you for helping me to remember that every single moment is a blessing, no matter what we go through!
In Christ,
Sarah in Wisconsin
I've been following this blog for a long time, praying for sweet Kayleigh & your family, but have never posted a comment. I'm crying over your loss, but so thankful for your testimony & know that you will use her short time on earth for God's glory. I will continue to pray for you and hold my own children a little tighter. God bless.
I'm so broken, and torn to pieces. I'm so so sorry. I'm praying hard for comfort for you guys.
You are in my prayers. There's nothing I can say at this time.
But I know that Families are Forever.
We will be praying for you and your family as your mourn the loss of your gorgeous daughter.
We don't have any words-but the promise that we have a defender who cries out for us when we don't know what to even pray. We are sorry for the time you will spend away from her but rejoice that you will have her in your arms again whole. Praise God for the life of Kayleigh and for a family who loved her perfectly. You are in are prayers

I am truly and sincerely sorry for your heartbreaking loss. I pray you may feel peace, and know how much your family is loved.
Loving you, huging you from afar. Hoping and praying that God continues to hold you tightly in His arms and that you may feel his peace.
Aimee and Adam,
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.
I pray that he holds you close during these trying times, and that one day you will eventually see your beautiful daughter whole again.
May God bless you and your family.
Kristin
Precious Freemans,
May our great, loving God comfort and lift you up today and in the days to come. Your story has touched thousands and brought so many closer to Him. I can't wait until we can ALL see your sweet angel face to face.
I'm so sorry for you loss and I grieve for you all today.
Rest in peace sweet Kayleigh. You fought a good and long fight here on earth. I hope you are dancing and playing now with our heavenly father.
Praying for you all !
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.
Charlene in Indiana
I'm so sorry for your loss, and yet rejoicing with you for Kayleigh's miraculous and amazing little life. I weep with you even though I don't know you. Please know that your family is lifted up all over the world in prayer through this amazing blogosphere. Blessings & hugs from afar (Chicagoland)!
I am so sorry for you loss. You are in my thoughts and prayers during this time. Thank you for sharing your story.
My heart is breaking for you and your family today. I have been and will continue to pray God gives you the strength to make it through this most difficult time. Kayleigh touched the lives and hearts of many around the world. Please know that as you mourn, the world mourns with you. Thank you for blessing each of us with this incredible story of faith and love. I am changed forever.
I heard about Kayleigh through Kirstie Moline. I have been following your blog and praying for you and for Kayleigh. Even though I have not met your family, your story has touched me, and I cried today when I read your post. I am so sorry, and you are in my prayers.
There are no words...only a stream of tears. We cannot wait to meet precious Kayleigh in Heaven. Thank you for sharing your heart, your story, and your family with all of us. I pray that we can carry some of your burden during this heart-wrenching time. May God give you amazing peace, understanding and strength that can only come from Him.

I am terribly sorry for your loss. Sweet Kayleigh was born an Angel and is now an Angel in Heaven. Our thoughts and prayers will be with you.
My heart goes out to you for all your strengths you are in my prayers and I will never forget the impact you and your family has given to many. Kayleigh is a beautiful girl and always will be.
Take those wings and Fly High, Fly Free and Enjoy Heaven!!!
God Bless
Janelle in AZ
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. I pray for you all, my heart is so heavy on this day, finding out my own brother is going to die, and just wondering how much more sadness today can bring. We love you Kayleigh, Adam and Aimee. Our hearts and prayers are with you.
I'm so sorry for the loss of your little angel. Sending prayers of strength and comfort your way.
I have followed your story for a while now, and my heart was broken as I heard the news this morning. I am so very sorry for the loss of Kayleigh, and we will be praying for your sweet family.
<3 my heart is aching for you all.
My heart aches so much for you all. Please know that Kayleigh's story truly did touch lives. She touched mine.
We don't know each other, I started keeping up with your story through Kelly's Korner.
You all seem like such a precious family and I don't want to pretend that I know how you are feeling, but I hope you know that people are thinking of you and praying for you and asking God to bless your family above and beyond! 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!
Your Sister in Christ.
Sarah Brown
I am so glad the LORD has healed your sweet Kayleigh, how comforting to know that she is dancing with the Savior and totally healed. However, my heart is broken and it aches for you. My tears are flowing, as are yours. I know that there is nothing I can say to "make things better." But please know that I am praying for you guys DAILY. I am lifting you up like crazy!
God Bless YOU,
<><
Words can't explain what I'm feeling right now after I got done reading your latest blog entry. We all know that Kayleigh is truly in a better place with our lord a savior, as she is not suffering anymore. Following your story for just a month or two I truly felt like I knew Kayleigh. I will pray for your family everyday as I pray for mine.
Weeping with you, praying for you...
And knowing I am a more patient mommy for knowing Kayleigh.
She's free (from cords and pain) at last!!
Just read this and my Heart is broken into pieces. I had so hoped an earthly recovery would be possible. I'm so sorry for the earthly loss of your beautiful Kayleigh. She is amazing, and I will never forget her or her amazing parent's who fought so hard for her. My prayers are with you.
I am so sorry and heartbroken. Praise You God for healing this precious baby. Praise You for holding this family tight. Praise You for Your promises. Please be with the hearts that will never fully heal on this side of Heaven.
My heart is broken for you. My family and I will keep you in our prayers.
I don't even know what to say except I'm still praying for you and your family as you grasp Jesus' hands and walk through the rest of your life knowing that He will hold you up when you're not for sure how to go through the next day. Kayleigh is such a blessing and her story and her legacy will live on. Perhaps God has a ministry in the making.
(((HUGS))), I am so sorry for you loss. No words.. just tears. May this time be gentle on both of you. Please take care of yourselfes and rely on one another. Your daughter has touched so many lives. She will always be remembered.
We are lifting your family up in prayer.
Thank you Lord for Kayleigh.
May her family find peace until they are able to meet her again in Heaven.
I didn't know of Kayleigh's story until today. My heart is heavy for your family, and I'll be praying that the God of all comfort is very near to you.
I was heart broken reading your post this morning, then smiled through tears as I envisioned Kayleigh dancing with Angels in heaven... happy and healthy at home with our Lord. God Bless you Freemans- you are an inspiration. Thank you for sharing through this incredibly difficult time.Kayleigh has touched me in a way I never imagined.
I have never commented on here before, but have been following Kayleigh's story for months. I was so saddened for you to read this update.
I will pray for peace for all of Kayleigh's family left to grieve her passing and rejoice that she now has her perfect healthy body in Heaven.
My heart is broken as i read your blog this morning. May god be with you and your family. Kayleigh was a special little girl and she touch my life. I am so so sorry. my thoughts and prayers are with you all from tonganoxie ks.

My heart is fill with sorrow and my eyes with tears as I learn of the passing of your beautiful little girl. To have never personally met your family, I still morn with hundreds of others over your loss. Thank you for sharing your story with all of us. It serves a constant reminder of how precious life is. I will hold my baby a little closer and a little longer tonight as we pray for God's peace for you all.
My hope and prayer is that the millions of tears being shed all over the world for you family right now will bring you a little comfort knowing how many people care. Please keep us updated on your family.
Erica in Tennessee
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.
So very sorry for your loss. I have been following your story and am completely in awe of your strength and courage. God Bless you and your family.
I am so,so sorry for the loss of your sweet girl. I will continue to pray for all of you.
I will be praying for you Adam and Aimee. May God comfort you. Kayleigh had the best family on earth!!
Thoughts and many prayers are coming from Kansas. Our little girl received her wings, Aug. 07, I am sure Gabi welcomed Kayleigh with open arms!
May your hearts find comfort in such a difficult time.
Love,
The Acker Family
I am deeply sorry for your loss and praising God that Kayleigh is in his arms. I hope that God will hold you tight during this very tough time! Sending love and hugs!
My heart aches for you during this horribly difficult time. I must say though that it is great that Kayleigh fought to be with you on Mother's Day! And though saying goodbye to your gorgeous daughter in this life is something that you should not have to experience, I know that there is some comfort, albeit small right now, in knowing that she is perfect and awaiting your reunion for eternity.
I'm so sorry for you loss..
My heart and prayers go out to your family. I'm happy to know you were able to hold little Kayleigh freely her last moments... Stay strong, you are an amazing family.
Aimee,
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!
Love n Prayers

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. I myself had a preemie, but he weighed 2 lbs, 3 oz. 129 days in the NICU later, we finally got to bring him home. It saddens me to hear that another angel had to leave to go to her place in the sky. Prayers be with you. :o(
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. May you feel the comfort of God's arms around you now and forever.
I'm so sorry--so very sorry.
Thoughts and prayers are with you all. Rest in Peace, Kayleigh.
Praying for you and remembering baby Kayleigh!
There are just no words to describe the beauty in seeing you holding your precious little girl. May God give you peace and comfort you in His arms.

Your family is in my prayers. I am so sorry for your loss, but praise God for every moment he blessed you with.
Rest in peace sweet baby girl. You are a true miracle. Our thoughts and prayers will continue for you and your family.

My heart breaks for you. I had been praying you would have been able to bring her home, until last night - I then felt God prompting me to pray that He would help her to rest. So, am thanking God that He has let her rest and praying that He would so overwhelminingly fill the emptiness with His prescence and love.
Thank you, Lord, that through Your sacrifice this is NOT the end,
Andrea
Oh, my heart is in my throat. Such beautiful pictures, heartbreaking and beautiful. I am so sorry for your loss.
My heart is hurting for you and your family right now. I sit at my computer at work in tears. Your daughter has touched the hearts of many people, complete strangers, people from all walks of life. She is truly an angel. God Bless you and your family during this difficult time.
I just wanted to let each of you know that you are in my thoughts. All of your posts have been truly amazing. The love you each have for one another and the amazing love that surrounds Kayleigh is inspiring. You have this incredible way of expressing your journey, your thoughts and feelings. May you receive great comfort and support during this most difficult time.
Thank you for reminding us of what is important and what matters. May your memories and knowing she is doing great right now sustain you until you meet again.
I am so sorry for your loss...so so sorry.

I am so sorry for your loss. My prayers are with you.
About three weeks ago, I stumbled upon your blog and have been checking in to see Kayleigh's progress. After checking in today, I see that she has become your little angel and my heart is broken for you. I am so very sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
I am praying for the peace that is beyond our understanding to flood your hearts and family. You all have been an amazing pillar of strength through all of this and know that you will continue to lean on your precious Lord for comfort. I hope you can feel the prayers being sent up on your behalf.
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!!!
You don't know me, but my heart is broken for your family. Your words are beautiful and your faith is as strong as it needs to be to get through this day. He who calls you is faithful; he will surely do it. 1 Thess 5:24.
Many prayers.
my heart is broken, I am very sorry and I'm praying for you.
Adam and Aimee, our thoughts and prayers are with your family!
May you continue to find comfort in Him and all of the support you receive!
Lots of love,
Jill

Hi I really feel sorry for you guys I will give you may address(home) and I will send you a letter with my address on it goodbye... for now =(
I'm so very sad :(
No words....only prayers.
Me and my mum have been crying since we read that, I'm sorry that she never got a chance to see her room, or anything. I'm 11 years old, and I accepted God in my life, just from Kayleigh.
I pray God's peace will be laid upon you all, especially in these next few days. May God lay His hand upon you, and your family, and guide you with each step in your days to come.
God bless!

I can barely see through my tears reading this, my deepest sympathies to you your family, what a sweet girl and I am so sorry for your loss...
Wishing you the comfort and peace that the loving arms of your heavenly father offers. Praying that in the pain and loss there will be joy in Kayleigh being in Heaven - healed and whole
With love x
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.
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.
My heart is broken!! Kayleigh you will always fill that broken piece!! We love you!!! Fly sweet angel fly!! No more pain!! Look over your mommy, daddy, brother and sister!!

You all are in my thoughts and prayers. I am so sorry for your loss and pray that God will give you the strength you need in the days, weeks and years to follow.
My oldest daughter became an angel almost 6 years ago, so I understand the pain of losing a child. Know you are not alone, never ever.
Adam & Aimee,
I am so so sorry for your loss. You are definitely in our prayers and have been for quite sometime. Your faith is such an example to me and I know that Kaleigh is in a better place. Oh what a welcoming she had in Heaven! She's such an inspiration to so many.
Love,
Cortney
Tears have fallen like rain when I read this this morning. I am so very sorry, words are just not enough. I will pray for your family and the strength to move forward. May God Bless you.
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
I am so very very sorry for your loss. My thoughts go out to your family.
Kayleigh will always be your Amazing Grace. I will pray for your family in this time of sadness.

Freeman Family, My heart aches so very much for you. There are no words to say at a time as this. Please know that we are praying.
In Him,
I have no words. I cry and I grieve with you. You are such an amazaing family. You and Kayleigh have brought so many more people that you ever know closer to our God. Praying for all of your family as you go through this trying time. Just remember God has his loving arms around you all. Love and hugs, Lisa from Texas
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.

May you find peace in this storm. I pray God will continue to use your family for his goodness. You are amazing people. Thank you for sharing her story. Of course, this is not how I wanted it to end but I find peace in knowing that she is in paradise with her Creator. I can't wait to meet her someday. God Bless the Freemans!

I pray God will comfort and hold you during this difficult time as only He can. Kayleigh is in the arms of Jesus where she is fully healed; no hospital wires and tubes. For that we praise God for His love and mercy. I'm so very sorry for your incredible loss. Kayleigh was, and still is, truly such a beautiful and perfect gift.

Tears and prayers are pouring for your family. I think of the song by Mercy Me that says "I've never been more homesick now". I think that must be how you're feeling. What a precious gift from God. Prayers are with you.
I am so sorry for your family. I will continue to pray for you all. Kayleigh is in Heaven looking down on all the lives she touched in her short time on Earth. She is a glorious angel who is watching over us. I pray that you are able to get through this loss with each other's love and the love of the world who cares for you all so much. RIP Sweet Kayleigh.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
So, sorry for your loss. Such a sweet little one. Safe in the arms of Jesus.
Praying for you.

I have been following your story for the past few months, I also had a son born at 28 weeks. Kayleigh makes me remember to be so thankful my son is alive and well. You and your family are in my prayers and thoughs. May the Lord uphold you during this painful time.
rejoicing for Kayleigh...praying for you, your other children, and the extend families and friends involved!!!
This is a pain that noone should ever feel. Reading your blog took me back to that same moment I spent with my son. Faith is was gets me through the hard times, and just knowing that he is in a better place helps me keep smiling.
May God bless your family and may you feel the warmth of his love for you.
My heart just aches for you all right now! I know that our Savior was waiting at the gates to heaven as he saw your sweet angel! And what a joy that day will be when she's waiting there for you some day! I pray that the comfort only He can give, will touch your hearts today! You are in our thoughts & prayers!
Your family is on my heart and in my prayers. May the Lord comfort you and give you peace. May the body of Christ surround you with love, as well, during this time.
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'm so sorry. My heart breaks for you.
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.
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'm so so sorry. :(
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Kayleigh. I have been following her story for quite some time and have been praying for her throughout her surgeries and procedures. I am so glad to see that she was able to breathe fresh air as you so hoped she would be able to do. Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Lord, we know you are near. Please hold this family extra close as they weep for their daughter who you hold in your arms now.
No words one can say can ease your pain. You are in our hearts thoughts and prayers.
Heaven has been blessed with a new angel. Kayleigh has touched so many lives and her memory will live in all our hearts.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Hugs...Michelle & Mark & Tayleigh
Your story has inspired thousands. Thank you for the strength and faith you've shown through such trying times. Kayleigh was blessed to be a part of your family...as is everyone who will read of your strength and faith, and trust in our Heavenly Father's plan.
Prayers for you and your sweet family - for comfort and solice in your home and hearts in the days and years to come. May your hearts be filled with the love of Christ.
I prayed for you all so much!!! I know you don't know me, but I just want you to know you have Christians out there that care!!! I will continue to pray for you and only God can give you the strength you need!!!! Just hold onto Jesus!
Though I never met you I followed your story eveyday. Tears are in my eyes. I wish you all peace during the most difficult time in your life. May prayers help sustain your family.
My heart breaks for you and your family! May Kayleigh be dancing with the angels feeling new! Praying for all of you for the strength and love to get through.

What a beautiful little girl. I am so happy for her that she is free from any pain she was in - she has done some wonderful work on earth, and will continue to do it in heaven.
I am praying for you guys - that you will have the strength to get through this difficult time. You are an amazing family.
I cannot begin to imagine your brokeness right now, but as someone who has lost a loved one who was sick & dying for a long time, I hope you will also find comfort in the fact that your precious daughter is perfect and whole and happy... no longer suffering. I am praying for you... trusting that the God of all comfort will give you a grace and a peace that you did not imagine possible as you walk down this unfamiliar & lonely road. With love from Georgia to you all!
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.
We have been praying for you daily and will continue. You have a beautiful daughter that will live through you here in Earth through your story.
My God bring you peace and comfort during this time. When you feel you can't go on remember there are people (hundreds who you don;t even know) loving, praying and lifting you up.
God bless your sweet Kayleigh.
I am sure it has all been said already but what a sweet angel you had. I have followed your story for a short while. So so sorry for your loss and I hope she has found peace in heaver. Your family is in my prayers.
My heart is truly breaking for you and your family... You are in my thoughts and prayers.
In all love,
Charity
