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 1401 – 1600 of 2264 Newer› Newest»I just finished planting a pink rose bush in memory of sweet Kayliegh. Her story has truly touched the hearts of my family. May God grant you the peace to see you through.
My heart is broken. There are no words...
I can only say how inspired I am by your and Aimee's faith in our Creator. You have truly opened my eyes wider to knowing Christ and letting him live in me each day. Know that Kayleigh lived for this very purpose in so many. I cannot wait to see her beautiful face in Heaven and wrap my arms around her. Thank you, Jesus, for Kayleigh.
My heart aches for you. Your angel has touched and changed so many lives. I know you are so proud of the amazing baby girl that she is and will be for all eternity. You are loved and prayed over. May God grant you His peace beyond all understanding.
Big Hugs,
Lurenda Avery
I am crying BIG tears for you right now and my heart aches for that piece of you that is now missing! But, I am grateful for Kayleigh's peace and pain free life with Jesus! May you cling to Christ with all you have and lean on Him with all your heart, mind and soul! Praying for you today and each day forward!
"A breeze caressed your cheek last night,
As a brand new angel took her flight."
I feel so deeply saddened that this chapter in your amazing little girl's story has ended so soon. Please know that tears are being shed and prayers are being said in so many corners of this world that is so much richer for having been graced with your darling Kayleigh's miraculous, loving life.
With love,
Christena
My heart is breaking for you.
I pray that you find comfort in the King of Peace and in the knowledge that you will be with your sweet Kayleigh one day for eternity.
I am so sorry that you didnt get to take Kayleigh home as planned. I am praying for your family. She was a beautiful little girl and will forever be in our hearts.
I am so sorry. I will pray for your family.
I just posted a few moments ago, but wanted to give you one more hug. Sending you so much love...

I am a better person for knowing Kayleigh's story. How can I love a little girl that I've never even met? Kayleigh is truly amazing, and so is your faith. Thank you for sharing it with the world. Please know that Kayleigh knew how much you loved her and will always love you, too. I am praying for strength, peace, and love for you during this most difficult time.
Peace be with you!
One Precious angel in Jesus's arms! Sweet Kayleigh is watching over each one of you every minute!
Praying for you....we lost our little Seth 3 weeks ago due to anencephaly....He only lived 11 hours after birth...Praying you find comfort and peace....

May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you. May the Lord lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace.
God bless the Freeman family
I'm so sorry. I never thought, a few months ago when I began reading Kayleigh's story, that I'd feel so close to her, and to you Adam and Aimee. That little one pound miracle has performed miracles of her own in ways we may never know.
God bless you and little Kayleigh too.
Your family is in my prayers. My heart is just breaking for you guys. I can't even see the computer I'm crying so much. Kayleigh was a true miracle, and you will have eternity with her.
My heart is truely broken for your family, I'm so sorry for your loss. We will be praying for ya'll!

kayleigh we love you your a sweet angel now gb and i am so sorry for your loss
I am so sorry for your loss! I remember when my brother died after a battle with cancer leaving the hospital after spending months there was the hardest part for my dad. Thinking of your family.
At this time in your lives you will become closer to each other and live life a little fuller each day because you have been touched by an angel. She will always watch over you both and guide you thru all the struggles in your life. Her body may not be here with you but her soul will remain in each breath you take and every tear you cry. You both are in my prayers. Give thanks for being blessed and good luck in all future endeavors in this crazy thing we call life.
rest in peace, sweet baby girl. watch over mommy and daddy like the angel you have always been.
My heart aches today, with tears streaming down my cheeks and yet a slight smile across my face. The smile for all of the good things I have learned and received from Kayleigh's story. Thank You for sharing her with us. Sending prayers for your strength and comfort. Much love from Texas.
I just learned about your little girl Kayleigh and I just wanted to let you know that your family are in my thoughts today and may you find comfort in the Lord. God Bless
My heart hurts for you. My heart is broken. I know only God can comfort you. I am so very sorry.
My hearts breaks for you and I am so sad that your time together on earth has come to an end. Praise the Lord for the Hope of Heaven and the joy of knowing that you will spend eternity together. This is your last goodbye to sweet Kayleigh. May the grace of God sustain you through the loss of your beautiful girl.
My heart broke this morning when I saw Adam's link on Facebook. I knew before even going to the blog she was gone. There are no words to comfort you in this time. Just the knowledge that her heavenly Father welcomed her home with open arms and has healed her. You will see her again one day and be reunited as a family. Thank you for sharing your blessing with us and please continue to share in the lives of Allyson and Brandon. God bless you.
What a special little girl. I look forward to meeting her one day and telling her how she helped to change my life for the better. She truly is beautful.
You have never met me, yet I feel like I know you guys as many here do. Your daughter is such a blessing to me. I couldn't wait to read daily updates and I just knew that she had one more fight left in her, but God thought different. And he is in control. She taught me so much in such a short amount of time. I can only imagine what she has done for you and what her memories will continue to do for you. I thank God for the chance to be brought closer to him thru her. May the peace that surpasses all understanding bring you comfort and bring you thru this difficult time. I can't wait to meet Kayleigh in heaven!
I will be praying for peace and strength for your family. Kayleigh is such a beautiful girl and a wonderful addition to Heaven. I know that she and my Emily will be fast friends and waiting for us to some day join them.
God Bless your family during this trying time. My hearts breaks for your loss but I am uplifted by your faith and strength. Hold each other tight and know how much Kayleigh and your family has touched the lives of so many.
Pure pure sadness. I am so sorry.....Rest in peace beautiful angel.
I am so sorry! I will be praying that God grants you the peace to be able to remember the good times. May God hold you in the palm og his hand.
I send prayers for your strength and praise for the miracle of Kayleigh. May you find comfort in His arms and love.
Tracy in VA
I am so sorry! I was really hoping and praying for one more miracle. I am glad however that you were able to have 10 months with Kayleigh even though the doctors didn't expect her to be born alive. I have followed your story since Aimee was pregnant and on Baby Center. Thank you for sharing your lives with us. I will pray for you during this most difficult time.
I'm so sorry. Prayers for your family.
My continued prayers are with you. I'm 19 and just lost my father a couple months ago. Not the same thing but the pain is still so real. Know that there are plenty of people praying for you and if ever you feel a very soft and ever so slight touch, remember that is sweet Kayleigh lovingly touching you with her angel wings letting you know she loves you! My love goes out to the two of you and your family!
I am so sorry for the loss of your precious Kayleigh. She was such a delightful girl. I feel so blessed to have prayed for her and followed her story. I want to thank you both for your tremendous testimony of caring for your precious girl. It was such a blessing to behold your deep love and how you focused on what was most important. May the Lord comfort your grieving hearts.Praying for you.
I am so sorry. So very sorry. Peace.
I lost my firstborn daughter Shelby but she only lived for 30 minutes. I have no idea what you are going through but I am praying and my heart aches for you so bad!!!
I am crying hysterically reading your blog, watching the videos & looking at the pictures. I have two children & cannot even comprehend the pain you are going through right now. My worst fear in life is to lose a child. My heart goes out to you & your family. Just remember that you will see her again one day. This isn't the end. I'm so sorry for your loss...
This is the first time that I've ever posted a comment to your blog, but I've been reading for months. I go on to your website at least once, sometimes twice a day to read updates. When I clicked on the link in my favorites today, the last thing I expected to see was the word goodbye written at the top of the entry. My heart broke for you and your children a little more with every word that I read. I don't know you, but in ways, I feel as if I do. Your story has touched my life, and you have made many of us, including myself, better people because of your strength.
The Lord has brought you to my mind over and over today. I'm praying! There are no words to express what's in my heart! Just know that I'm praying.
My heart is braking for your family. Thank you so much for letting me be part of this speacil baby's life. If you would please post a PO BOX I would like to get some moeny to you. May God be with you in your time of need. Love to you all.
As I watched the video of your precious Kayleigh it reminded me of my own little miracle. My son Ryan was born 9 weeks early at 2# 5.5 oz and 15 inches long because of preeclampsia and was not breathing and didn't have a heart beat. He was resuscitated and is now a healthy 6 year old boy.
As the tears streamed from my face as I looked at the photos of you holding her and reading of her passing I couldn't help but hug Ryan a little tighter.
I can't imagine the pain you must be feeling during this difficult time and will pray for your family. Take comfort in knowing that God is now holding your sweet Kayleigh and you will one day soon see her again.
Kim
I know there is nothing I can say to take your pain away, but I do know a mighty God that loves Kayleigh even more than anyone on earth. May He comfort you and continually speak to your souls and give you joy and peace in the midst of extreme sadness. Thank you for sharing your beautiful daughter with all of us.
What a comfort to know that because you cannot, the Lord of Heaven will hold your daughter in His loving arms until you join them. While this was not the outcome you were praying for, your steadfast faith has encouraged many, and has done what few have done - glorified the Lord in all things!
Peace be with you.
My heart is broken and the tears can't stop falling. I am know Kayleigh is in a better place and made whole and even more perfect (then she already is) again. My thoughts and prayers are with you, Amiee and your family. I know this is the hardest thing in the world to have to endure and I will be praying for you all. I have grown to love your family and Kayleigh so much. PLease post a PO box where others maybe able to send donations.
You and Amiee have been amazing and so faithful through it all.
My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family.
Much Love!
Becki Simonsen
My heart breaks and my tears flow endlessly for your loss. But we are comforted by the fact that your sweet Kayleigh is embraced by our Lords loving arms, where she will wait patiently to be reunited with you. Kayleigh got her wings too early, but I am incredibly jealous.
Words cannot express how much Kayleigh has changed my life, but I will live my life in memory of her and through the strength of you both. I've never "met" her or your family, but you will always have a family out here in California who will pray and love on you all as if our own.
Her memory WILL live on, her legacy WILL continue, her strength and inspiration lives in YOU ALL.
Please let us know what we can do to help. I wish I could fly out there to hug you and Aimee, but for now don't hesitate to ask us anything for help.
We will say a special prayer for Kayleigh this Sunday at church.
Kayleigh lives on in all of us who have been touched so deeply by her miraculous journey.
My heart is broken. I am so sorry for your loss.
you have really changed many of our lives,
i cant Imagen how much i appreciate your sight, so i hope you a have a very nice life, from Mrs.Carpenters student
Adam and Aimee,
Thank you for sharing the journey with all of us. I am so sad for you today yet rejoicing that Kayleigh is running and playing today without pain.
Kayleigh send your mommy and daddy a sign that you are ok and having fun somewhere over that rainbow.
Debbie
May God comfort you in this time. I'll be crying with you as I pray that you are all strengthened during this time.
My heart is so heavy and aching for you both! Kayleigh was such a strong, amazing little girl--she held on for Mother's day..she is a stunning bright Angel at the side of God right now! I have so much admiration for your strength through all of this. You both are AMAZING parents. We will continue to pray for your family.
Love,
The Turner Family
Weeping and mourning with you, yet rejoicing she is no pain and with our Lord.

There aren't any words that can take the pain away. I am truly sorry for your loss. Kayleigh's whole family will be in my thoughts and, most importantly, my prayers in the coming days, weeks, months and years!

She is now with the angels and our heavenly Lord. May the Lord comfort you during these times until you meet again. Praying for you family so that you may have peace. Kayleigh has inspired so many and her spirit lives on.
there are no words to say to you that will take away the pain that you are going through....just know that you will see your little angel again one day and that she will indeed be whole and perfect. I'm so sorry for your loss and I thank you for sharing your sad, but in the same time hopeful and happy story with me and the rest of the world....with my deepest thoughts and many tears shed for your loss.....jennifer rogers

My heart is breaking for you. Please know that I will keep your family in my prayers. I feel like I know Kaleigh, because of your blog. God is your strength, and he knows and feels your pain. I know he has great things in store for your family.
Love, Amy
I am so sorry for your loss. I will continue to pray for you and your family. Pray for strength to get through this difficult time and pray for never ending memories of you and your precious little girl. God Bless.
Kristen Wolfe
I have only been following your blog for a little while, but it has changed my life completely and I have prayed for Kayleigh and your family since I "met" all of you. I am so very sorry for your loss and like everyone else never thought this day would come...I prayed every night for a miracle for Kayleigh as I said my usual nightly prayer for my little guy. Your family's and Kayleigh's profound strength and faith is an inspiration to all of us. I will continue to pray for your family through the rest of this journey.
I am so so very sorry! I am just absolutely heartbroken. I can't stop these tears as I am trying to find words - words of comfort, words of wisdome but my mind is blank and my heart is aching.
May God be with you - always and forever.
All our love
My prayers go out to you all as you mourn the loss of one of the sweetest babies put on this earth! Amazing grace...she feels no more pain and is in HEAVEN with our HEAVENLY FATHER!
Love and prayers coming to you!
~Elyse
I can't even begin to explain the heartbreak I am feeling for you..I have been praying...all day. Constantly. I'm so sorry...I've been following since Kayleigh was born...my heart is with you...I'm so sorry again. I know that no words can ease the pain.
you & your family are in my thoughts. sweet kayleigh rests in the Lord now. may you find strength in Him.

I am so terribly sorry to hear the news of the loss of your precious baby, Kayleigh. My heart goes out to you and my prayers are with you.
Kayleigh and your family have been apart of my life everyday since the Babycenter days before she was born. My son was also originally due in September. Know that as your heart breaks...our hearts break with you. I pray that you continue to share your life through your blog because I have a feeling sweet Kayleigh is going to see you through all the troubles and so many good things are in your future. Her story is not over I can guarantee that. She has touched so many lives. God bless Kayleigh...
May God be with you in your coming days. You will all be in my prayers and thoughts. It's so heartbreaking knowing she isn't here anymore but warming to know she is in a better place with our Lord. Words don't make the hurt go away but I am truely sorry that you didn't get to bring your precious little girl home with you.
She will be remembered on May 11 every year of her life's journey and sweet smile.
The Lord is with you and your family!

Big hugs to all of you and your precious Kayleigh.(as you said it's just goodbye "for now") :)
I am sure she enjoyed every bit of her time with you. You are strong loving people and it shows.
She has brought many people together, strangers at first but now we all have a common bond we all sit here in tears. Mine are happy, happy she is safe and healthy now and forever. Kayleigh will always be in my heart.
I know she enjoyed her fresh air and nothing attached.
Many many prayers.
Thank you for sharing your sweet baby girl with us. Bless you and know that the arms of Jesus are wrapped around your family.
Love Verna
Oh, I'm so sorry.
I am crying and praying with you and for you now. I am so very sorry, Aimee and Adam. I would be there for the memorial if I could, but I am unable to travel. I am heartbroken. My thoughts and prayers are with you and I will pass Kayleigh's story on to all who will say a prayer on your behalf. Many hugs, tears, and blessings for you and your children right now. Thank you for sharing Kayleigh's journey with us and being a beautiful example of faith, hope, and love through our Lord Jesus Christ. You have touched more lives than you will ever know.

I am sooo sorry to hear of your loss. I will be praying for your family even more now!
We love you Kayleigh. Rest in peace sweet baby.
No words can be said to take away your pain. May she look down upon you and protect you, send you a sign to you to let you know she made it ok, and that she loves you!
Look for those signs and let them bring you peace.

I'm so sorry for your loss. You are in my prayers. God Bless!
I pray for you everynight and will continue to. I am so very sorry. My heart is just absolutely broken by this news.
Brittany<3
I am so sorry. My heart is broken for you. You are in my thoughts & prayers...
Only God knows the whys, my heart breaks for all of you. I thank you for sharing her with all of us and I have learned so much from her and you. God bless!
My heart is breaking for you. I will keep you in my prayers.
You will be in my prayers.
Although I have only read your blog a few months, my cheeks are wet with tears that will not stop falling.
She is beautiful. That will never change. She is no longer here, but her beauty remains in the hearts of those who were blessed to know her.
Her heart of courage was given to her by God and by you both. She was a reflection of both her heavenly Father and her earthly parents. Her life will not be forgotten because it is seen in you. Those who never knew Kayleigh or her story will know you and know that there is something wonderful and special and different about you. You will walk with extra grace. You will show extra kindness to those who are faltering. You will see past differences and find commonalities because you were touched by a precious daughter who is with you no more.
My heart rejoices in her healing. My heart grieves in her death.
Words are inadequate at a time like this. So I just want to say, you are loved. You are lifted to the Father over and over again from this humble home in the midwest. Praying He will hide you in the shadow of His wings. That He will lift you to a safe place. That He will lead you on solid ground.
Peace be with you,
Bethany
I am sitting here crying that you can no longer hold her in your arms. Kayleigh's story has helped me so much in realizing how lucky I am to have my kids and to has brought me so much closer to God then I was a few weeks ago when I started to follow your familys journey! I know that she is in God's arms right now and I am praying that you have the strength that you need!
God Bless!!
My heart is breaking for you. I will be praying for your family, an may you find peace.
I am in tears as I read your post. Kayleigh fought hard and we all prayed hard but God has another plan. She is whole and perfect now, no more discomforts. I pray that your family will seek His comfort at this difficult time of missing her. God Bless!
Rest in peace sweet Kayleigh Anne.
As I've silently followed your journey I kept wishing for a miracle. The miracle that God would let you go home to your family. I guess the miracle is that you are in your eternal home, resting with the Lord.
I am happy that you will now be pain free, but my heart is breaking for the pain that your family must feel right now.
I am praying that HE gives you peace, strength, and comfort.
God Bless you all.
IOWA
I am so sorry for your loss but now she is as healthy as can be waiting and watching over you guys. I have only known your story for a short time but it feels so personal. May God Bless your family for the journey you have taken and will continue to walk.
Sending you hugs and praying for comfort and peace right now. Praying that you have strength and peace as we await the day we are reunited in heaven with our Heavenly Father and our angels
xoxo,
Natalie and family
My heart and soul break for you and your family.
I only wish I could have known your story better.
I truly believe in everything you say; You will be reunited one day and that that day will be one to remember forever.
She was brought to you for some reason whether it have been a life lesson needing to be learned or just the joy in having that little girl.
Now you have learned all you could, she has gone onto her next mission in life.
I will be sending all the love and energies I can to you.
May she be happy and healthy and smiling down upon everything you do =]
Love and Energies.
Kayla
My heart is broken for you folks! I don't have the right words, but I know I can continue praying for you during this time! Much love to you.
My heart is broken for you! It isn't fair! I am so so so very sorry! I hope it brings you comfort to know how MANY of us (who do not even know you) are thinking, praying, and hurting for you! Although I wish I could make all of this go away and trade all of us caring strangers for your sweet baby girl! SO SORRY!
Jennifer from Kentucky
Praying for peace and comfort to you and your family.....

Wow....judging by the amount of posts you've received in just a short period of time proves how much your sweet Kayleigh has impacted so many people's lives. She truly is a special gift from God, as all children are, but especially her! My heart goes out to you and your family and I only hope one day to have as much faith and strength as you guys. We'll continue to keep praying for your entire family as this difficult journey is far from over just yet..........take care and God Bless =)

May the Lord bless your sweet family at this difficult time. Your little angel sure touched many, many lives and will be remembered. How great that we know that she is with Jesus now and that you will one day be with her again.
Hugs!
Oh I am just so heart broken and saddened for you guys. Thank you for telling her story and bringing many many readers closer to our savior. I know you will not question Him on why he did not heal her, you will continue to have faith becasue he could have.
Love you guys and praying for peace in your world.

I am very sorry for what happen. Kayleigh had touch me alot.
R.I.P. Kayleigh
You make heaven shine brighter.
I am so sorry for your loss.
I will pray for you tonight as your post requests. Be lifted up.
I have just been introduced to your family today and I am so sorry. As a mom of an angel myself I still struggle to find words to say that may provide comfort. I can promise you that it will get gentler, the pain that is...life will go on, but you will never forget any moments and she will be kept alive in your memories. Hold onto them, write them down, cherish them...God Bless from one angel mommy to another.

Praying for you and your family. So terribly sorry for your loss this side of heaven, yet rejoicing that she is whole in her Father's arms.
Your faith, strength, and love is amazing and inspiring. You are a true testament to what it means to be parents. You make me want to be a better person.
You and Kayleigh will forever be in my thoughts as my husband and I raise my son, who was born shortly after Kayleigh's original due date (11/1/08).
Rely on the strength of others at this unimaginably difficult time.
Best wishes and hugs from Colorado.
So sorry for your beautiful family. Praying for you in Ontario, Canada.

I am So Sorry For Your Family's Loss!! My Angel Anna for sure greeted Kayleigh at the doors of heaven with loving and open arms ^!^ You are all in our thoughts and we send you strength and love to you all!!
I really don't know what to say other than I'm so sad that this day has come. I'm thankful to you both for sharing Kayleigh's story. I pray that the Lord will comfort and protect your family during this very very difficult time. God Bless.
i'm in mrs. carpenter's class and and it was pure tiers, i felt like kinda tiering up but i didn't. but just think, little kayleigh is out of pain. she is in the most glorious place of all. but i'll still continue to tell her story. you can email back if you want to because i'v been informing my family as mrs.carpenter has been informing me. the email is erik_swearingen@yahoo.com
My heart is breaking for you but rejoicing for your precious angel because she is now in the arms of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! You will probably never know the lives that she has impacted! I know there are people who have come to know Christ because of Kayleigh and her short journey here on earth! My love to you all as you prepare for life without your beautiful little angel!!
May god help you throu this hard time and help ease the pain for you. She is in a much better place now, no pain, no tube, no needles. My little girl is sick and in and out of the hospital so much so I understand the pain she was in. She can rest, and be with the angels in heaven now.
I am so sorry for the loss of your beautiful baby girl. I saw your tweet and it took me all day to steel myself to come over. You have amazing love and strength to share your story.
I am so sorry for your loss. Kayleigh touched my heart. While I know she is in a far better place, no longer in pain, my heart breaks for you. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
My heart's been so heavy for your family today. I know I can't bring any words of comfort, but I know prayer can ... so I continue to prayer along with countless others. I haven't followed your story long, but it's apparent God did incredible things with your baby girl!!
Hello there. You don't know me or I you. And I must admit that I have seen your blog's button on many blogs I have come across but couldn't bring myself to read your story. Maybe I was too weak in the heart to face that things like that can happen to precious children. I am so utterly and completely sorry for your loss. There are never words that can describe my sorrow for the pain you and your family must be enduring. I have a daughter myself and never knew the wonders of how beautiful life is with children in it, or how my heart beats to see her smile. And I just cannot imagine how you feel right now. But I must say that you are so incredibly strong and brave. I don't know how you are standing. I'm glad that you have faith in god like you do because without that some people can not make it through something as despairing as this. You and your daughters story will give strength to others going through what you have, and her presence on this earth was meant for something so big that we cannot even grasp it yet. God cannot be so selfish as to take away something so beautiful for no reason, and I really commend you for being able to see that. Kayleigh will truly live on forever and I know her story has touched me. I will never again take for granted the miracle that lay sleeping in her bed right now in the room next to me. And sometimes I don't even think I deserve her, or that I am a good mom at all. And then here is a good set of parents like yourselves and you have had something so special taken away. Life isn't fair, and we will never understand it i guess. I will pray and pray (although I don't believe in god) that your family has strength and grace throughout this process. I will always remember you and your little princess. thank you for sharing her life with the world.
I don't know you or your family personally but I have been reading the blog and praying for Kayleigh and your family and have even sent money. I was praying for another miracle but God had other plans. My kids were following your blog too so we all stopped and hugged and said a prayer for you when we saw the news. I'm so sorry. I want you to know that she has touched our family here in Taylor Michigan.
I only starting following your story last week but Kayleigh touched my heart in a way it has never been touched before. As the mom of 2 daughters, I cannot imagine your pain. I had prayed for a miracle...prayed this day would not come and I was heartbroken to read the news.
Kayleigh is no longer in pain and she is now at peace. You have gained a beautiful angel who will watch over family until you meet again. She touched many lives and I feel she made and others better people. Maybe that was what she was sent here to do.
I am so, so sorry for your loss.
Erin in Florida
Tears are streaming down by face, I can't imagine what you must be feeling. I'm so sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing her precious life with us strangers! It has been a blessing! Praying for you all!
Aimee and Adam-
Words can not express the deep sadness I feel for you today. I spent my lunch hour driving around in my car, and crying... trying to imagine the pain you feel for the loss of your SWEET baby girl.
I've been with you since BabyCenter and have been praying for you ever since....and that will continue. Kayleigh will live in my heart forever. I can't believe how attached so many feel to you and Sweet Kayleigh. I hope it brings you some comfort in knowing that people all over the world love you and care so much for you...and that your Sweet Kayleigh has enhanced the lives of SO MANY people...in so many different ways. I'm a better person because of Kayleigh...and you, her LOVING and COURAGEOUS parents.
The picture of Adam cradling Kayleigh... when I look at your hand....I can almost feel my own hand on Kayleigh... you can just FEEL and SEE the LOVE in that embrace... And Aimee... the picture of you with Kayleigh's sweet little head resting perfectly between your shoulder and face... I hope it's a feeling you can hold on to forever.
Adam- In the introduction to the blog you say "get ready to fall in love with this one pound miracle from God..." and it's evident that so many have.
Thank you so much for sharing your story.
My daughter just told me about your little girl. I went and read your blog and I'm very sorry for your loss. She was precious, and I will be saying prayers for your family. God Bless You!
Speechless-- I am so sorry for yalls loss!! I will continue to pray for your family and I am so thankful that Kayleigh is playing in Heaven!!
I am so sorry to hear about sweet Kayleigh. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.
God Bless you and your family. Kayleigh will forever be your guardian Angel and will always be watching over you! You are in our thoughts and prayers!
Adam and Aimee,
As the tears stream down my face, I am taking you to the feet of our Savior and pleading with Him to comfort you as only He can. There are no words I can say that will take away your hurt. I will continue to pray for your family. THANK YOU for sharing Kayleigh with all of us. She truly is beautiful!

My heart is breaking for your family. This is not how it was supposed to end. Kayleigh was supposed to go home with you so you could spend time as a family. I am so sorry for your loss. You now have a beautiful angel watching over you. She will be so very missed by thousands of people but we know she is no longer suffering and is whole again. We pray for your family for strength at this time. Kayleigh has touched my heart in so many ways and it is sad that we wont be able to see her grow up. We will miss you Kayleigh.
Adam and Aimee:
I have followed your story since Babycenter and have checked daily on Kayleigh - sometimes MANY times a day looking for updates through the tough periods. So I truly love your little girl and feel such sadness for your family.
I was so sad to read that she has passed. Thank you for sharing your daughter with all of us strangers out here -- we are all sisters and brothers in Christ and I don't feel like a stranger to you all.
I will truly miss your little angel and she has changed my life - I will always cherish my children more than I ever felt possible. By knowing Kayleigh, she has made me a better parent, a better person, a better Christian. Thank you Kayleigh.
Adam and Aimee: Her spirit will ALWAYS be real - you will always be her mom and dad and you have been wonderful parents to her -- she was very very blessed.
**May God continue to surround you with all the love and comfort he has promised you through the valleys of life --
please listen to the song by Natalie Grant entitled "Held" -- as I hear this song from now on and I hear it often, I promise to say a prayer for your family every time I hear it.

We are so sad for your loss, but rejoicing that Kayleigh has no more tubes, procedures, tests, surgeries, or needles to endure. She is walking and laughing with Jesus right now. He is holding her little miracle hand and kissing her sweet face. Isn't it wonderful to know a savior who heals and loves and knows us more than we know ourselves? Nothing will take away the pain of Kayleigh's passing, but hopefully you can feel the prayers of thousands on your behalf.
I am crying as I read this post. However, I am so filled with joy that, because of Jesus, we will see Kayleigh again!! Please know that I am praying for you and your family and that you are loved.

we love u kayleigh R.I.P
God saw you were getting tired,
And a cure was not to be,
So he put his arms around you
And whispered, "Come to me"
With tearful eyes we watched you,
And saw you pass away,
Although we loved you dearly,
We could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
Hard working hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us,
HE ONLY TAKES THE BEST!
God be with you and your family, Kayleigh will be remembered for a lifetime! My heart and prayers go out to you! And today, Heaven is beaming with all the love Kayleigh took with her!
What a precious blessing Beautiful Kayleigh is!
Our family will be praying for you as you go through the days, weeks & months ahead.It hurts so very badly. Hold tightly to each other and those precious children. God IS holding you all in the palm of His hand.
I don't know how theologicly correct it is but when my darling Abby Grace left my arms to rest in the arms of Jesus my sister told me that God had a big rocking chair waiting where I would someday rock her forever in the presence of Christ my savior.
Loving you before the throne of grace,
Christy

I know that in days and weeks ahead you will read everyone of the comments that have been left and some how it will bring you great comfort.
Thank you God for strangers who have followed Kayleigh's story with such love and daily prayers.
I have followed Kayleigh for sometime but have never commented. I don't have the words to say but know that your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I'm glad you got to hold her. I'm so sorry.
Hugs and prayers....
My heart aches for you...so sorry that you lost your sweet angel. I'm praying for you.

My heart was just broken this morning to read about Kaleigh. You have been in my prayers constantly. Thank you for sharing her story. Thank you for showing your faith, its been inspirational.
My heart and prayers go out to you. I had my baby Harrison at 21 weeks but he was too little to survive, its beem six months. I can't imagine the pain you must feel but how amazing that you finally got to hold her like you said without anything. What a sweet girl and you are amazing parents. May you always feel her around you. What a sweet baby. I am so sorry for you loss. THank you for your faith. You are such a inspiration.
I've been only following your blog for a couple of weeks now, but have been so touched by the story of your precious little girl. My heart is breaking for you all and the loss of your sweet Kayleigh. I can't even imagine. May the Lord grant you the peace that passes all understanding as you deal with this grief. Please know that Kayleigh's story has touched my heart and I'm sure many other's. Thank you for opening up your lives to others, so that Kayleigh's short life could make a difference for Christ! All my love and prayers,
Lanelle in Seattle, WA
May the Lord Jesus surround you with His love and care. Thank you Lord for letting me see your miracle baby today. You are in my prayers. B
i am commenting for the first time...wanted to let you know how deeply sorry i am for your loss. my tears are overflowing as i have praying for you and your family. Kayleigh is dancing, healed in heaven. may God bless you richly and hold you steadily.
much love from Illinois!
What beautiful pictures of your sweet baby - I am so glad that you were able to hold her close while letting her go. God bless you all. You have allowed us all to share in Kayleigh's life and for that, we are grateful. Continuing to pray for you up the road in Winston!
May the God of all comfort wrap His arms around your family.
My prayers are with you.
Kathleen
My heart is full and my prayers are with you. May you find comfort and strength in the presence of our GOD.
I never, ever thought that my heart would ache so much and I would cry a river of tears for a family that I never met and a little girl that I never held, but I was quite mistaken. My heart breaks for you. Kayleigh's little body is now whole again and she is your guardian angel. She will always be with you in spirit. Thank you, Adam and Amy, for sharing her story with all of us. I know that my life is better because of it. I will go home tonight and hug my son a little tighter and longer because of your sweet Kayleigh. I wish that there was something I could do for you to take away your pain. It will hopefully diminish with time. I wish I could go to the memorial and actually meet you in person and hug both of you. I am not going to be able to make it, but will be thinking of you and praying for you from Connecticut! Take care and peace be with you.
Michele from CT
Bye baby Kayleigh...we love you!
I can't get you out of my thoughts today. Just know I, like so many people are praying for you.
I just saw the preview for The Doctors show tomorrow and I just want to hug the both of you. I am praying they helped to alleviate some of your financial burden so you can focus on your walk with God right now. He is carrying you. Wrap yourself in His arms.
I am excited for Kayleigh's story to reach many many more people. Your little girl has already touched countless hearts and tomorrow she will forever imprint her beauty on many many more hearts as you share her story on tv. You both are amazing parents. My prayers are with you and your children today and always.
Tamara
I am so, so sorry for your loss.
Prayers being said for you here in Michigan.
To Kayleigh's daddy..my husband says a man never really knows true love until he has a daughter. It is so true looking at the picture of you two.
To Kayleighs mommy...I never saw a woman look more beautiful than I did with the picture of you holding your little girl.
God Bless
We are praying for your family! May the Lord continue to show you love and hope during these hard days! We will forever remember Kayleigh with you! Her journey has taught us so much as well!
Our love and prayers,

I am so sorry! My heart is broken for you! Kaleigh is beautiful!
There are no words to express the heartbreak I feel for your family. I am happy for Kayleigh that she is not hurting anymore, and she gets to rejoice with our Lord and Saviour! I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
Our hearts are breaking with you. May God hold you in His arms and love you like no one else can!
My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.May God hold you in the palm of his hand -
My heart breaks for you. I was praying so hard for you to receive a miracle. Please accept my deepest sympathies.
May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again,
may God hold you in the palm of His hand.
My heart breaks for you. I am so sorry for your loss. I have been following your journey for some time and I am so amazed by your strength and faith. I pray for you and your children that your memories of Kayleigh even though there are just 10 months of them, will fill your lives for a lifetime.

Kayleigh is truly an angel.

You & Kayleigh are in my prayers.
I am so sorry for the loss of your beautiful baby girl. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, and I KNOW you will see her again.
I am so sorry to hear this... I found this blog today. One moment ago. I am now crying, broken hearted for you! I am praying for your family! I cannot imagine the pain and loss you feel, I've never experienced it, however I know that our Savior has!! God is good, and although we don't know his ways, in Jeremiah 29 he promises us good, and not harm... My heart goes out to you, and please find comfort in the knowledge that God's only Son died, and so HE can relate to your pain!! Also find comfort in what little way you can, knowing that there are brothers and sister's in Christ out there lifting up your family in prayer! I'm so so sorry...
i am so, so sorry...my heart is just breaking for you. i was so hoping you would get to bring kayleigh home. she looks so peaceful in the pictures you posted; i'm glad she got to feel the breeze in her hair. lifting you all up in prayer
I am sooo sorry, so sad and will continue to pray for your family.

I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. I will dearly miss all of Kayleigh's stories. God bless you all.
My heart is broken for you all. She truly is a miracle and will always be in my heart and mind. She taught us all so much in her short life and I am truly grateful that you had the courage to share her story with all of us. She has made me a better person and strengthened my faith.
Love and hugs always,
Beth (Houston)
This morning was the first time I clicked onto your blog. I am so incredibly sorry for your loss, she is such a beautiful angel and now she will have the life you always dreamed for her to have. I will pray daily for you and your family for strength, healing and to be uplifted in the days,weeks, years to come. I have lossed 4 babies myself during the pregnancy and I know that all of God's little miracles are up there laughing and playing together. My daughter's name is Caileigh and she is also praying for your family. I brought my son back from the hospital this morning (he's 5 months) and I thank God that what we are going through with him is nothing compared to some. Many blessings and prayers,
Christy
We loved little Kayleigh and will never EVER forget her beautiful face. I'm so sorry you had to let her go for now, I can't imagine how hard this must be.
I am heartbroken to read this today. My thoughts are with your family. I pray for strength for you all. There is no doubt Kayleigh is an angel. I will certainly hug my kids tighter today.
I am so heartbroken for your family. But rejoicing in the knowledge that sweet Kayleigh is feeling peace, joy, and love in a better place. I can only imagine how your arms ache to hold her. There aren't any words to say. I will be praying for your family. I have followed your blog faithfully and was so hoping for a different ending. If it comforts you in any small way, I was so touched by your story and amazed by your faith. God reached so many people through your little angel.
My heart aches for you. . .prayers.
Kayleigh is whole now...if only your hearts could feel the same.
Prayers.
I can't imagine losing a child, but I know the pain of losing loved ones. I am thankful for the time you all had with her and how much you shared with us all. She is at peace now and in the distant future know you will all be together again. Love and prayers
To the Freeman Family - I am so sorry for the pain you must be feeling. My thoughts and prayers go out to you all.
You and your family will be in my heart and in my prayers.
I'm so sorry. Praying for you all.
