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 1201 – 1400 of 2264 Newer› Newest»I am so sad that I am only just now joining you on this journey. Kayleigh was a beautiful soul on earth, and now she is singing praises to the King.
We will never meet, but I will pray for your sweet family.
~Savannah, Conway, Arkansas
I am so sorry... I will continue to pray for your family. So thankful that she is not "lost", but safe and completely healed and at peace in the presence of Jesus.
Kayleigh has touched more people's hearts in her 11 months than most people do in decades. Thank you for sharing the story of her journey on earth.
I am so sorry. I know no words can take away the pain. Please know that my daughter and I have been praying for you. May the Lord be with you in your time of need.

May having held, loved and cherished her keep you strong in the days ahead.
I've been blessed to share her story, she is truly and angel above now.
We have never met..I am so sorry. I want you to know my "big girl" who earned her angel wings at age 8 nearly 4 years ago..will help to care for you precious one. you are so right when you say you are standing still. You WILL begin to move again...right now just "be" and do what is best for you and your family. I am so sorry for you loss...

I'm so sorry. We will keep praying for your family to find a way to peace.
I am so very sorry for your loss.

My heart broke when I read this. I am so sorry for your loss, and pray that God will hold you close as you go through this horrible time. I will continue praying for you guys.
Much love,
Becky
there are no words...but knowing the she is on the knee of Jesus now is what helps us smile. Every morning when I log into my computer at work, I have come to your site to make sure your beautiful daughter is doing better..I am with hundreds who didnt want to read this today...but we are all with you in prayer and tears and the smiles at the pictures you have so kindly shared!! She is a beautiful baby and will always have a place in my heart...
Your words and thoughts could only be from a person who knows God personally, and I think those are some of the most beautiful words I've ever read in my life. You and Aimee have truly honored your sweet Kaleigh's life in the most beautiful way. I pray all parents who read this will honor their children who remain on earth in such a way as you have honored Kaleigh, as a child is a gift and so precious in His sight. God has truly been glorified...His beauty, love, care, grace, sovereignty, and so many aspects of Who He Is have been seen as you have looked to and leaned on your God through this journey. I will never forget the one pound miracle of Kaleigh and all the lessons from it that God wants all of us to carry through our lives. My life is richer from having found your blog and I am so thankful for your faithfulness to write daily and share with others. Many will be changed and transformed because of the life of little Kaleigh. God is amazing. You have been a witness to that. Thank you, thank you. You will continue to be in my prayers. Ephesians 1 says we were all created to be a praise to His glory. Kaleigh is a praise to His glory, and so are you and Aimee and I will continue to proclaim that for the remainder of your days while on earth.
Today I cry for a sweet girl and family I never met. I will hold my children tighter and be forever changed by an angel that acheived so much in her short time here. My heart aches so much...
Words can not express how much I feel for your family. All I can say is that I am praying for comfort.
I am so very sorry to hear of Kayleigh's passing. She is a beautiful angel.
Praying for you... for the peace that passes all understanding, for His comfort, for His grace.
Love from Lenoir, NC

I am so sorry to hear about Kayleigh. Her story has amazed me and I have been praying for your family. I will continue to pray for you!
I am beyond grieved at this news.
I am copying this from my blog post this morning...
I ask that you cover The Freeman family in prayer and wrap your virtual arms around their shoulders which are heavy with pain and grief. They shared that Kayleigh finally was able to feel the breeze on her face for the first and be free of all the medical cords and lines she had been bound to. I pray that the family feels the sweet relief of God’s love cross their hearts like that breeze and that their souls are as unburdened as Kayleigh without her cords.
I learned of your beautiful Kayleigh about 2 weeks ago and have been reading and absorbing everything you have written from day one. I only wish I could have been there from day one praying alongside your family but I have been praying for her and for strength and courage for your family ever since and I will continue to do so.
I have fallen in love with your beautiful little girl. When I logged on this morning and read your news I just cried and cried. I've felt as though I have been in her presence and known her up front and in person through your descriptions and her beautiful pictures. I AM GOING TO MISS HER TOO! And I look forward to oneday truly "knowing" her in life eternal. She is my new hero as are the two of you.
God bless you both and your other beautiful children!
Love and Hugs,
Patty in Bethlehem Township, PA
I am so sorry for your loss. I will be thinking about your family during this difficult time.
Even though we have never met face to face, we have known about Kayleigh through our daughter and son-in-law Jeremy and Alicia, mother and father of Marissa. We activated two prayer chains when we found out how critical Kayleigh had become. Our hearts are broken and ache for your loss. We have experienced the pain of losing a child at age 18 to a car accident. We understand. Know that you all are in our thoughts and prayers. We pray for strength and comfort from our Lord to surround you to sustain you through this most difficult time. You WILL be with Kayleigh again..someday..laughing, running, playing and rejoicing in the Lord. May the Lord bless you and keep you close to Him.
Joyce & Larry Little (Nana & PaPa to Marissa)
So sorry at this tragedy and the pain you are going through. Please allow yourselves to grieve in your own personal ways - everyone always seems to have an opionion on how a person who has lost a loved one should grieve. The strength, courage, grace and faith you have shown throughout this journey have been inspiring. May the Great Comforter make His presence real and ever present to comfort your broken hearts.
Blessings.
May God wrap his arms around you and give you the comfort and peace that only he can give. Your little girl was beautiful, and so many people have been touched by her story. We will be praying that the emptiness that you are feeling inside fades, but that your memories never do! God Bless you.
I can't even imagine the pain you are going through right now. Praying for comfort and peace for your family.
In Christ,
Jennifer
Our heart breaks for and with yours. There is much love and many prayers being offered for you in Fleetwood, NC. Thank you for sharing your story and allowing us to be some part of your precious angel's life.
I am sorry and hope your family can eventually find peace and healing in this difficult time. My thoughts are with you!
Dearest Aimee and Adam,
A piece of my heart is broken for you. How hard to say goodbye to your beautiful miracle Kayleigh.
I also have a "Kaleigh" and so I wanted to share something special with you.
Your gorgeous,tenacious little girl was rightly named.
In Scotland the gaelic word pronounced "Kayleigh" is spelled Ceidihl and it means party. As in gathering of people to sing and dance and enjoy each other's company.
Kayleigh is now free to party in heaven, but not before she gathered so many people together here on earth that will always celebrate her life. She put everything into living while she was here. She has touched us all and I can't wait to ceilidh (party) some day in heaven with all of you.
May God give you peace and joy everytime you think of Kayleigh.
In His love,
Robin
What sadness I feel for your entire family today... I was so hoping that you would be able to bring Kayleigh home to her new room!! My thoughts & prayers are with you always as you begin this new journey together. Kayleigh touched so many hearts in her short little life & will never be forgotten. God bless you!!
Barb in Wisconsin
I'm in tears and my heart is aching. I am so sorry. You had such a strong little girl! I will never forget her story. Praying for your faminly...
My heart truly breaks for you both, as well as Allyson and Brandon. May you find strength in each other and your wonderful memories of Kayleigh while you grieve the enormous loss of this perfect little girl. I have followed your story since Aimee was on the ultrasound board at Babycenter and am so sad that it has concluded in this way. The comfort thought that I cling to is that Kayleigh is not in any pain and is truly resting in peace.
In her short life, she has brought much joy and shown that miracles do exist, even if they do not last as long as we want them to.
I have been following your blog (from the nest). There are no words I can say to take away your pain for that I am sorry. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Keeping you close to my heart in prayers. May the Lord continue to surround you with love, peace and strength that only He can give.
Fly high precious Kayleigh, fly high.
In Christ,
Rachel B.

My heart just breaks with this news...I gave my 2 boys an extra hug and kiss today, and held them close. I am praying for your family. I rejoice that sweet Kayleigh is with Jesus though, in no pain or hooked up to machines.
I'm so sorry for your loss. Her memory will continue to live in so many of our hearts. She has changed my life and made me a better mother, and for that I will be forever grateful. ((HUGS))
Praying that you would feel God's warmth and peace as HE carries your family through this difficult time.
I am so sorry for your loss.
I am so very sorry for your loss. May the Lord give you peace and comfort.
I am so deeply sorry for your loss. Your little angel is in heaven now and I know God is holding her in his hands. I pray that God helps you find peace in your loss. My prayers are with you and your family. God bless you.
I am so sorry for the loss of your precious baby girl.
There are no words to say, nothing that will take the pain away.
Just know that there are hundreds of people out there praying for you today, and tomorrow, and next week.....
Remember, the Lord captures our tears in a bottle. Your tears are precious to Him, and so are you. And so is Kayleigh. I'll be praying for you all.
May the Lord, our God be with you during this difficult time. He will give you the strength that you need to get through this. Kayleigh is a miracle and has touched my life with her story. She will never be forgotten in my heart or in my mind.
Rest in peace little angel. We love you and will miss you dearly.
Words cannot express how sorry I am...your family has been in my prayers & willcontinue to be. May the angels give Kayleigh a kiss from me.
God Bless you all.
Praying in GA...
My heart is breaking for you guys! I am so sad.. yet happy that Kayleigh is now free from pain and tubes and is able to enjoy the body and life she should have had here on earth. Please know that we are here for you guys. Thank you so much for sharing her with us! You are an inspiration and I hope that we can continue to be a part of your life thru this blog.

I am so sorry for your loss. I only discovered Kayleigh's journey recently but have been following since then. I will pray for you all as you have to go through this. Keeping you and your family in our thoughts.
The Fishers
I have followed your story from babycenter, and have always been so amazed at your strength and faith. Your family is an inspiration to so many; Kayleigh was so blessed to have wonderful parents like you. I will forever remember your sweet little girl. Thank you for sharing your journey with us all. I hope you can find peace and comfort in the coming days.
Dear Adam, Aimee & Family -
I am so very sorry for the loss of your precious Kayleigh. I want to thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for sharing Kayleigh's journey with all of us. I honestly am amazed daily by your strength and faith. Kayleigh has blessed so many of us - I look at my 11 month old with different eyes. I no longer "sweat the small stuff" with her - I will always hold her a little tighter. I will NEVER forget Kayleigh or what she has taught me. We are so glad that Kayleigh got to "feel the breeze on her face" - how precious! We will continue to pray for your family - I can't begin to imagine your sorrow and anguish. Just know that there are a lot of us praying for you - praying that you continue to find peace in this most devestating time. We love you all!
Kayleigh, sweet precious angel! We so wish this could have had a different outcome. We will all miss your beautiful, fighting spirit, but we are thankful that you now feel no pain and are with God - I bet it's beautiful! I have learned so much from you - you changed me and I will never forget that. You are a truly miraculous gift, to so many. The world will be forever touched for having known Kayleigh Anne Freeman - even if for way too short a period. We love you sweet girl - rest in peace!

Your family is in my family's prayers. May the God of all comfort give you the peace that only He can give.
I have been a silent lurker here for quite some time. Sending thoughts and warm wishes, without words, because I find that my words frighten parents whose children are fighting for their lives. As a mother who has lost two children, I know that no words can be enough to soothe the pain or grief. But please know, my thoughts continue to be with you and your family. May you find peace through your pain.
Peace be with you...
I have been following this blog for a bit now. Each time I would visit it I would "gasp" whenever I clicked on Kayleigh's page because I never knew what to expect. Today I was doing my daily routine I came on here to check and see how Kayleigh was doing and I had saw that Kayleigh had spread her wings and flew up to heaven to be with God. My heart dropped at I began to cry. I do believe Kayleigh was holding on one last time so she could give Aimee a great first Mother's day. I am so happy that Aimee got to spend her first and last Mother's day with Kayleigh. My heart goes out to you both because I have no idea what you two must be going through. I have never lost a child but I don't want to ever experience that type of pain and emptiness ever. My thoughts and prayers are with you both and will forever be with you.
God Bless
I am so sorry. Kayleigh is precious. She has a brand new perfect body now. Just know, it's not the end of her. You will see her again.
I am so sorry for you great and beautiful loss. God Bless you guys and the rest of your family.
Tenia from Denver, Colorado
I am deeply sorry for your loss. Your little angel is in heaven right now and I know God is holding her in his hands. I pray that your family stays strong and God heals your pain. God bless.
My heart breaks for your family and Kayleigh is forever in our hearts. Thank you for sharing your beautiful family with the world. She is absolutely beautiful and I am so glad you got to bring her outside. I can't stop crying! You are an inspiration to us all. I never thought this day to come.
Lord, please grant the Freemans with the strength to get through this difficult time.
Kayleigh sleep peacefully little one.
Tracy (AZ)
My heart is hurting for you and your family but she is a in a better place where she can be healthy and happy. I am sorry and your family and story has truely touched my life.
I really don't know what to say, but "I'm so sorry" would be an understatement. I will continue to pray for your family. Heaven has another angel.
Jennifer
I'm praying for you and your family in this time of need!
I sit here and my heart is breaking and tears well in my eyes!!
But the other thing I can think of is Kayleigh running w/other perfect beautiful angel!!
May God bless and be near!!
My heart is broken for your family. I am so sorry for your loss. Thinking and praying for you through this tough time.
I'm so very, very sorry about Kayleigh. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Our deepest condolences go to you, we were hoping this day would not come. We pray that you will be comforted, and remember the sweet memories of little Kayleigh.
I can't imagine the pain you and your family is going through. My thoughts and prayers are with you. We are all better people from knowing Kayleigh's story.
Kayleigh's short yet so meaningful journey was all about teaching everyone about love, faith and determination. How many can say they touched so many hearts across the globe?
Adam, Aimee and family, you're all in my prayers.
Kayleigh, Thank you sweet angel. Now you'll live the real life.
Your family is in my thoughts and prayers. I feel blessed to know Kayleigh's story
Aww, my heart breaks for you. Your daughter was beautiful. May you be blessed with the peace and strength that you need to make it through each day to come.
Kayleigh's story has touched me deeply. My faith in Christ is huge because of what this little girl was able to achieve in her few months on this earth. Thank you, sweet girl for touching this life, and the way you have touched the many around the world the way you have. Until we meet in Heaven, baby girl!
I am praying for you all during this sad time...I love you.
Kayleigh is at peace now and in a wonderful place. The pain that you are feeling I have gone through myself and my heart goes out to you and your family. There's never any words to make it better, never anything in this world to fill the void, but the comfort in knowing that one day you will meet again. I'm so sorry you lost your precious little girl.
I can't see through the tears. I am soooooooooooo sorry for your loss.
God bless you all and carry you each day.
Beth
I am so sorry for your loss. Kayleigh was a beautiful little girl who is now walking alongside our lord with no pain. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.
I know that there are no words that can be written to make you feel better.
Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
((((HUGS))))
May the loving arms of Jesus hold Kayleigh close until she feels the hugs of her mommy and daddy again one day soon.
What an amazing little girl.
Thank you for being faithful in sharing her story.

I wish I had met you sooner, but my prayers are with you now. God Bless.
I was recently acquainted with your beautiful Kayleigh's life story. I am so sorry to hear she is gone from this place.
She's heard the words, "Well done, good and faithful servant."
Praying.
I am so sad for you guys, I can't imagine the depth of your pain. I will continue to pray for your sweet family, may He bring much peace to your broken hearts.

I am so so sorry. Lifting your family up in prayers. Holding you all close to our hearts

There are just no words as I sit here in tears...but please know how your sweet angel touched so many lives.
praying for all of you....

My thoughts, prayers and ♥ go out to you and your family.
She's with Jesus, in no pain, and is perfect in His presence.

I am so sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. May your family find peace.
I'm terribly sorry that she is no longer with you here on earth. My heart aches for you all. We are praying for you here in Arlington, TX.
To your entire family...I am so sorry. Thank you so much for bringing Kayleigh into all of our lives. We will never, ever forget her!
Wow. There are a lot of comments here but I wanted to let you know thaat my family will pray for yours
Praying for you and your family during this difficult time. Kayleigh is in a beautiful place in complete peace, you will meet again.
I have grown to love Kayleigh so much and I am so sad, but also relieved and happy to know she will be able to play and feel great in Heaven. I will be thinking of your family and praying for you. I am so sorry.
So very sorry for your loss. We will keep Kayleigh and your family in our hearts and prayers. You have touched so many lives and made us all better people. A new angel has been born...
my eyes are blurred with tears right now. Tears of pain for you. Yet tears of rejoicing for Kayleigh as she is rejoicing with our Savior! What a bittersweet time it is. I wish I had more words...but instead I'll bow my head in prayer.
Much love & many prayers today,
Krista Lynn
There are no words that any of us can say that will make your pain go away. All we can say is thank you. Thank you for sharing your precious baby girl with all of us. We delighted in her accomplishments and we cried with her/you during painful times. It is really amazing how much you can feel involved in the lives of people you have never (and probably will never) meet. You will never begin to know how much that little girl has changed all of our lives in the brief time we have "known" her.
Your most recent post was beautiful. I barely held it together until I saw those pics of you both holding your baby girl without any wires attached. Then the tears fell. Your strength is amazing. Your faith is amazing. You are AMAZING parents and Kayleigh is so lucky to have had you both to take care of her.
I will continue to pray for your family in this time and in the future.
Jen
Tears are flowing freely right now. My heart hurts so badly for you. It was just four years ago that I kissed my sweet baby goodbye as he entered the loving arms of our sweet Savior. I know that there are going to be so many good and bad days ahead of you & I will be holding you up in prayer. I am so sorry that you also know the pain of having to say goodbye...but I know that you rest in the comfort of knowing that your sweet girl is made perfect again in heaven. God is good...and I long for the day when we will all be reunited with our sweet children.

You are all in my prayers...I can't imagine what you are feeling. Precious Kayleigh looked so at peace in those pictures, she most def. is an angel in heaven
My heart grieves with, and for you. I have no words that could possible speak comfort right now. All I can do is pray for God's loving hand to protect you during these coming days, and to give you peace and strength to endure this new journey. Kayleigh Anne is, and will always be a hero in my life. She fought more battles in her short 11 months than I have ever faced in my 34 years.
Glory to God for everything He has done and is going to do because of this precious little girl.
My prayers are continually with you and your children.
Tori
I have only been with you a short time. I was introduced to McKMama when Stellan was first in the hospital and have followed his incredible journey. I was led to your blog through hers. Praying that you will be able to find comfort at this difficult time. You have had such a roller coaster ride and I am so very sorry for this turn of events. Please know that many are praying you through these very difficult days.
To God be the glory!
Praying for your family that you will experience peace that can only come from GOD! Your Kayleigh is a beautiful blessing that has touched many lives in her short time on earth. May you feel God's arms around you during this difficult time.
I'm so sorry. Your precious girl has touched the lives of many, many people.
We are thinking about and praying for you this morning. Many blessings to you and may the Lord give you His peace.
RIP Kayleigh.. You have touched so many hearts!
Our hearts are broken. We have you in our prayers.
Kayleigh changed many lives in 11 months - more than some people do in a whole lifetime.
She was a little fighter, and she was so loved by her parents.
I know that I'm sorry cant even begin to comfort you, I can't imagine what you are feeling right now, but God is at your side, He is holding your hand, and now the Great Physician is embracing Kayliegh for you. Your family is an inspiration to many, and I for one am amazed at your strength, courage, and your complete faith in our Savior. I'm praying for your comfort, and your continued strength thought this difficult time.
My heart is broken. I am so sorry. I will miss Kayleigh dearly, as will so many others. She was a sweet little angel on earth, now a precious beautiful angel in heaven. Praying for y'all.
Love,
Erin Crista
God Bless you, sweet Freeman family. May God comfort and nurture you in the coming days/weeks/years, as you deal with your earthly loss of Kayleigh. But, PRAISE JESUS that she is happy and whole and healthy in heaven!! Rest in knowing that, I pray that it brings you peace. I have known of you but for a short time, yet tiny Kayleigh has left a HUGE footprint on my heart as well as thousands!!
What a beautiful tribute to your daughter....your angel! I'm praying for your family! Kayleigh has already touched so many lives, and God has brought good and will continue to do so out of your heartbreak! I pray for peace for your family and for adapting to the "new normal" without Kayleigh here!
I am so sorry for your loss. Your and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
My heart absolutely breaks for your loss. I cannot wait to meet Kayleigh in Heaven! She is such a blessing to us all. Prayers continue to come from my family for all of you. I hope to make the memorial service, God Bless you all! Love, Marie
I pray that God gives you strength that is beyond your own power on days where it seems unbearable to go on, I know the love you have for Kayleigh has and forever will be a part of who you are, and because of this love she will live on through you, may you all be comforted, may the aching in your heart be replaced in time with a joy, may you know that God never gives you what you cannot bear...your in my thoughts, my prayers and I personally have been changed and my faith deepened in the act of prayer because of your family and beautiful Kayleigh!
I am so sorry for your loss. I can't even imagine the pain you both must be in this moment. Prayers the Lord will sustain you and lift you up. Hugs!

Your family is in my prayers. May God bless you in your time of need.
Im so very sorry for your loss. God bless you guys.
I'm so sorry. Your love and strength has touched me in a way you will never know. I hope you find peace in knowing that Kayleigh is no longer suffering here on earth but is perfect now in Heaven. I know how painful it is to lose a child, my son Calvin died at six days old from complications to open heart surgery. I'm betting he was waiting for her at the gates of heaven to lead her to play with all of our lost children in God's playground. From one bereaved parent to you both, Kayleigh's life has made such a difference, and in her pain she realized her purpose. Her work is done now, yours is just beginning. Hold close to each other in love, God will carry you both through this sad time. Hugging you from BC, Canada...God Bless you Kayleigh!!!
I have been following Kayleigh's story for months--such a sweet baby girl. Tears stream down my face as I write this....just know that people whom you have never met are thinking of you and praying for you in this difficult time.

I am so sorry. kayleigh is amazing and she will be in heaven looking over you. i am praying for you. god bless
Wishing you comfort that only God can give right now. Let him wrap his arms around you and allow you to KNOW that your sweet baby is at home with him.
I am so very sorry. Thank you for sharing your story with the world. Kayleigh's ministry will continue from Heaven. May the Lord comfort you in this time of grief and carry you through the darkness.
My heart just BREAKS for you both. What a beautiful little girl your daughter was. I truly believe you will see her again in heaven. Hold on to your memories, and hold on to each other. May God give you strength to follow the journey to parenthood again.
No more words only sweet prayers for your family and ^^Kayleigh^^. Your precious baby has touched my heart. god bless
The Freeman Family,
I am so sorry for you loss here on earth- Kayleigh has touched so many and today she wakes whole, in no pain, and is able to be the little girl that God intended for her all along.
I know you are hurting and her brother and sister are hurting for her and that will never go away- until one day you are reunited as a whole family.
Much love, hugs, and prayers for your family.
My prayers are with you. This breaks my heart. I have been following Kayleigh's story since August.
My heart broke when I heard the news that sweet Kayleigh has went to Heaven. Everyone night when my niece stays with me we would always say..."Angels on your pillow" We have a beautiful new angel on our pillow at night now. We love you and will be praying for strength during this most difficult time.
My condolences to you and your family. Your story and your daughters journey has been such an inspiration. My heart is broken for you. May your beautiful daughter rest in peace.
I can not imagine how your family must be feeling right now, I am very sorry for your loss. I will continue to pray for your family. The stregnth you guys have shown is amazing.
God Bless You!!!
I have no words, except that I'm so sorry and I will be praying for all of you.
My thoughts and prayers are with you both and your whole family. So very sorry for your loss.
When I look and hold my 11 month old, I will pray for your family! My heart is aching for you! May God give you peace during this time.
shedding many tears on behalf of Kayleigh. . .
You will remain in my prayers as always. I pray that you continue to have the strength to get through this with the support of eachother. Kayleigh will be watching down on her family with love until you all get to meet again. My heart breaks for you.
Sending love & prayers from Tampa
Only know you through your blog as mentioned by MckMama. You are in my prayers. My heart(and eyes) are crying for you. May God have little Kayleigh wrapped tightly in His arms right now. God bless you!
Susan Havens
I am so sad, sitting here crying for your family. Kayleigh has definitely changed my life, and has made me appreciate what I have even more. All of the pictures of her are simply precious - thank you for sharing her life with all of us. I am so glad that her little body is finally at peace, but very sad that she is not here with your family. Many hugs and prayers to you.
i sat a with tears in my eyes, your preciuos little 1 ound miracle has touched my life in more ways then anyone will ever know. i just recently jumped on board your family's story and spend hours reading about how your daughter fought for her life overcoming what the doctors report said, instead lived her life as the Great Doctor said!! she will live!! i know it hurts, i know there is anger, sadness, tears, and questions. this is a time when you as your daughters mommy, daddy, sister and brother, just need to be yourself....let Jesus collect the tears that fall, let him hold you tight, our earthly father never says, "stop crying" when he knows we are REALLY hurting, instead he says, it's going to be okay. but first we have to go THROUGH the pain. The Lord is saying to you, it's going to be okay, but cry....ask questions, be yourself. he understands what you are going through. i know it deosn't make your situation any easy, but the hope we have is that Kayleigh is now walking the streets of Gold with the one who has been carrying through her entire life! and who will continue to carry you through these next days, weeks, months and years. if you only listen ever so clearly...you will hear our Master's heartbeat!
i love you guys and will be praying for you.
Our Father In Heaven will keep your little angel in his care until one day when he will allow you to raise your precious daughter. Your strength is amazing, I pray for peace and happiness for your family.
My heart goes out to you. I've followed your blog since the beginning and logged in daily to see what Kaleigh was up to. I rejoiced in cheering her on in the good times and praying for her when things were looking down. We will keep your family in our prayers. Please take care of each other. Thank you for sharing Kaleigh's story.
Kayleigh,
I MISS YOU SO MUCH!
As tears flow down my face I pray for you and your entire family and your guardian angel who is in heaven watching over all of you and finally at peace. God Bless your family and Kayleigh! Hugs
Oh sweet baby Kayleigh, your life here on earth was so short but you touched so many lives especially mine. I hold you forever in my prayers, along with your mommy and your daddy and brother and sister. Rest in peace sweet sweet baby Kayleigh...
God Bless you Adam and Aimee, my heart and prayers are with you today.
Kristin
Just think of stepping on shore
And finding it heaven...
Of touching a hand
And finding it God's...
Of breathing new air
And finding it celestial...
Of waking up in glory
And finding it home.....
My prayers are with you. I am so happy you got to hold her but wish it had turned out differently. Till you see her again...
Stephanie
I was so sad after hearing about Kayleigh. I will be praying for your whole family. Kayleigh was such a sweet little baby and she was lucky to have you as her family. She is now resting peacefully in Heaven. God bless you and your family.
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I am truly saddened to hear this news I have been praying that God would still perform a miracle. Even though I never met your your sweet little girl she has touched me so much.I am praying that God gives your family a peace. The picture are so beautiful you both have a beautiful peace on your faces and you can tell God is right beside you.
Again I am so sorry to hear of your loss and athough it is so hard to hear right now she is much more blessed than we are she does not have to suffer on this earth anymore.
Rest In Peace sweet Kayleigh Anne
With all of our prayer
Jaimy Stevens
Even if I had the words to express my condolences to you, I couldn't possibly imagine what you are going through. May God give you comfort in the days ahead. I am sure that Kayleigh is looking down on you with love and is excitedly waiting to see you again in Heaven.
Sarah in St. Louis, Missouri
my thoughts and prayers with you and your family. know that your family and your angel have touched more lives than you could imagine.
may God hold you in the palm of His hand...may you rest in His peace and know that your daughter is now dancing at his feet! may you be comforted knowing that she is now truly free and in a place we can only dream of. may God give you strength in the days and years to come and may your story continue to minister to this broken world. amen.

I just discovered your family last month, but have been amazingly touched to see your strengh through Kayleigh's journey. How beautiful that God allowed her to celebrate Mothers' Day before He took her home. I will be praying for your beautiful family.
I haven't followed you for very long but your family will be in our prayers.
Our prayers and thoughts are with your family. Kayleigh is a beautiful little angel. She was one lucky little girl to have great parents like you guy's.
I'll light a candle for you tonight and keep you in my prayers.
I am so sorry, Kayleigh was a wonderful little girl who touched my heart .... I will be thinking of you guys.
Ellen
I was so sorry for your loss. I do know she was very loved and she is with her Heavenly Father where she will watch over you and your family. You lost a daughter, we gained an angel. You will meet her again. My continued prayers for your family as there are no words I can offer to take away any of the pain.
You are in my prayers. I am sorry for your lose. Your lil girl was and is very beautiful.
I'm so sorry for you loss. I will continue to keep your family and kayleigh in my prayers...
I am heartbroken for your family. Your honest blog and the sharing of your lives have made Kayleighs loss tremendous for thousands. I will never forget the impact she has had on my life as a parent. Her short time was a blessing, but to wish her still here in that little body would be cruel. She touched everyone in so many ways,her legacy and memory will live forever. She hung on to celebrate her first Mother's Day with Aimee. Much love and prayer for your family at this time, your loss is felt here as well.
the Lockhart Family, Desiree, Andrew, Cole, and Karalena (a September 08 baby from Babycenter)
I prayed so hard along with many others that this day would not come ... that saying goodbye to your precious angel would not be part of God's plan ... but it was not to be. My heart aches for you and for the emptiness I know you are feeling.
I will continue to uplift you in the days and weeks to come.
My thoughts and prayers are with you. What a beautiful angel! She will truly be missed.
I prayed this day would never have to come for you and your family. I am so very sorry. She is a sweetie and will forever be missed by many people who never even had the chance to meet her, but who feel like we know her so well and your whole family. My heart is broken.
Love to you all,
Shana, Chris and Little Miss Lily
1 John 5:12
"Whoever has God's Son has life. Whoever does not have His Son does not have life."
This is a letter to a young girl who's "life" has been cut short to an unknown traumatic event,and on her way home to Jesus.
Dear Kayleigh,
We may have never "taught" the lessons of Christ to you...you may have never attended Sunday school with other little children, but you already know all about Him. You, though only so small, have a life so big. You, in all of this, have struggled. Yet, you, in all of this, was never alone. Your parents, bless their hearts, have swaddled you close and whispered sweet nothings in your ear. Your parents, have shared your miracle with the world, reminding all that anything is possible and that they are human, just like the rest of us, wanting so much, for that one prayer to be answered.
God's Son has always been there, holding your small fingers between His. God's Son has always been there, whispering in your ear, sweet tidings and lullabies of old. You know of Him without our teachings, without the ability to read from the Good Book. While, you are meeting Him all too soon for our comfort, you still have life, and will always be a living miracle to many.
While we fight with the unanswered prayer, we miss out on the answer--that you do have Life through Christ. You will be the teacher, we shall be your students. You will teach us, and most of all your parents, that God, through toils and earthly woes, will always be there for them, for us, and most of all for you.
We pray for your family that they will be able to heal from this journey. And that your short-life, will provide them memories that surpass the 10 months you've lived here on Earth. We pray that while we do not have the ability to match their sufferings, that we'll be able to surround them with the Love of Christ...and that you'll look down from above and whisper sweet nothings into their ears.
Kayleigh, there will be a day when we all see Jesus face to face. May He guide you through the Heavens, your hand in His, with the many other children amongst the clouds.
She is so precious. Kayleigh was blessed to have such a wonderful and loving family. We will be praying for your family. Thank you for sharing your story and pictures of your beautiful baby girl.
Big hugs to you all,
Tracy in MI
my heart breaks for your family! i have been praying for kayleigh every day for the past few months..ever since i heard her story. i'm so glad to know that she is in heaven with our amazing father! you will see her someday! i will keep your family in my prayers!
ansley
There are no better words than you have already said. My heart is breaking for you. I pray for peace and comfort now through this most difficult time.
God Bless You.
I am praying for your family. May our Lord and Comforter comfort your hearts during this difficult time. He loves you and knows what it feels like to lose a child.
I can't even imagine what you are going through. Our hearts are with you. We will keep you in our prayers.
I am just so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers will be with you. I have been following your blog for many months now.
Right now I am feeling your pain. The pain of losing a child. The pain of having to leave the hospital without your child.
I did it almost 4 years ago. It's something no parent should do. Even though I didn't know you or kayleigh, she will always be remembered.
May 27 will be 4 years since my son passed away. We always release balloons for him. We will also release a pink one for Kayleigh
Many continued prayers for your family and of course for yiur sweet, beautiful inspirational Kayleigh.
We have been following your story finding our way here from Riggs family. We haven't posted here yet, but felt compelled to do so today.
We will continue to pray for you & for HIS strength to help your family during this difficult time.
God Bless you....
SS
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Grief over a child is not an easy road. But you are not alone. Many of us walk this path with you with sympathy, empathy, and sometimes personal experience. And of course, God never leaves us alone, which I think you already know. May God's peace hold you both.
You are in my prayers. May God's peace surround you now and may you be reminded of HIS arms weighed with Kayleigh. Our darling angels are together with the King.
♥ and hugs,
Heather
May God hold you all tight, may your hearts know peace and comfort.
Praying for all of you.
Kayleigh has made an impact on so so many and her sweet life will continue to give hope to others.
Our families prayers are with yours and we hope you will find peace with everyday that goes by.
Freeman family -
Thank you for sharing your story with all of us. You are in our thoughts and prayers and we join you in praise that Kayleigh is in Heaven!
God bless you and your family.

I have followed your blog through the Compton blog. My heart is broken. You will forever be in my prayers.
So Sorry you guys have to go through this. We've been praying for you all since we came across your blog a month ago. We're still praying for you and your family.
My heart is aching for all of you! Please know I am praying for you and will continue to do so! You are amazing parents! I know you were deeply loved by her.

Adam and Aimee,
My heart aches for you. I cannot imagine your pain. I will continue to pray for peace, comfort and strength for you and your family. I will offer prayers of thanksgiving, too, that Kayleigh is now healed and held in the arms of our Lord.
I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. My thoughts and prayers are continually with you and your family.
Sweet girl Kayleigh.. a little Angel.
I am so sorry for your loss. I will continue to pray for your family as you go through this trying time.
Phyllis & Kristen
I'm so sorry you have gone through this. It breaks my heart and has me weeping to read Kayleigh's story. My daughter was born at 26 weeks and weighted 1lb. 5oz. It felt too familiar to look at the pictures and read about her. My love is going out to you all and I'm so glad that she is not struggling anymore.
Love, Courtney
I am so so sorry for your terrible loss.
-Samantha
My prayers are with you, your family and your beautiful angel in Heaven.
So, so sorry about little Kayleigh. She has touched so many lives - and now she's touching Jesus's face. I'll be praying for your family - I can't imagine how hard this must be.
God bless...
Rosanne
Adam and Aimee,
Holding your family close in my heart today...I am so heartbroken and tears are flowing freely. Kayleigh has taught so many people about strength, faith, love, perseverance, and God's grace. I know that doesn't lift the pain of living without her.
I wrote last week about how Kayleigh's story touched my husband as he edited her piece on "The Doctors." I find everywhere I look, Kayleigh is reaching out to others and her legacy will live on.
I wish I lived closer (we live in Los Angeles) because I would be there for her memorial service in a second if I could.
There are no words...I am glad she is with our Heavenly Father, but heartbroken for her parents and grandparents and siblings here on Earth. I hope she meets my two sweet girls up in Heaven and they play together on God's perfect playground.
Much love,
Erika

Freeman family,
My heart is broken and I have been grieving along side you upon hearing about the news of the loss of a very precious child I have gotten to know a short time named Kaliegh.
Kaleigh's sweet and soft angelic love brought togather many world wide strangers and changed them into becoming united as one. As friends in a chain of prayer.
Adam,Amiee,and family may you find comfort in their words to help guide you and protect you during these difficult days as you lay your beautiful daughter/sisters beautiful soul to rest.
God Bless,

Kayleigh is laughing and playing in a beautiful place now. Someday you will be playing with her. You and your family are in my prayers. So sorry for the loss of your precious girl.
May God keep you tight in his arms.

Dear Freemans,
Words cannot express how sorry I am for your loss. You are wonderful parents who did everything for their beautiful daughter.
My husband and I lost our quadruplets in February, and I know that the four of them have welcomed sweet Kayleigh with open arms up in heaven. I'm sure they will be good friends.
You will remain in our prayers.
Love,
Lauren

May the peace that passes all understanding be yours. May Kayleigh rest sweetly in Jesus' arms.
I am so so sorry. I am crying so hard I can hardly type.
I will be praying for all of you.
Love,
Denise in CA
I am so sorry. She was a precious child whose impact will be felt LONG after she is gone. I like to think God has a special playground just for these little angel babies. Thank you for sharing the journey with us. Will pray for your family.
i just emailed you a beautiful poem at the address you had in your contact button. it is a favorite of mine and was given to my Mother when my baby brother died.
Jill
I have followed this blog for many months, but have never posted. I amn so sorry that this day had to come so soon. I didn't think that this is how things would turn out. I am so sad, and can't stop crying. I can't even imagine how your family feels. It is comforting to know that you will all be together again someday, but it is so hard to think about that when she is no longer here on earth. May your faith help you get through this devestating time.
Adam and Aimee...thank you for sharing the story of your beautiful daughter Kayleigh. I am so sorry for your loss, but I hope you have some peace knowing she is in a better place. Your strenght throughout this whole rollercoaster has been amazing. I will continure pray for your and your family. Thank you again for allowing us all to "know" Kayleigh and see what a true fighter really looks like.
