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



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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Love,

Mommy and Daddy


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





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





Rest in peace our sweet Angel!

We love you so very much!

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

There are no words that I can voice right now to let you know how sad I am that beautiful Kayleigh has left her earthly home. While all of us who have been praying for her are heartbroken by this news, it is true...she is now in her heavenly home. She is the newest angel in God's heavenly flock.

My prayers are with you all now as you move forward in life.

I am so sorry for you loss. Kayleigh was an amazing little girl and her story touched so many people around the world. I felt a special connection with Kayleigh from the begining becuase I share the same birthday with her. I want to thank you for sharing her story, I learned so much from not only Kayleigh but you as well. I just finished my nursing program and I can truly say that I learned alot of medical information from your story and it also helped me to focus on why I became a nurse and it made me strive to become a better one. As I write my nurses exam next week I will be thinking of kayleigh and all that she taught me. Continue sharing your story of Kayleigh becuase she will continue to touch so many peoples lives and go on living life knowing that you will be together one day again. Kayleigh is in a better place now and she will be watching over you until you meet again.

May God's peace that passes all understanding surround you now. Kayleigh was so blessed by having you as parents and we have been so blessed by her time her on earth. She is truly an angel and has been a gift to all of us!

I woke up this morning to this news, and have spent all day trying to find the words to say. My heart is heavy and aches for you. For your family. But I find comfort knowing that Kayleigh is in Heaven with her creator, our Saviour. Knowing that Kayleigh is happy, free...God bless you all. May He bring you strength in those places that you never thought you had it. If you all ever need anything, Facebook me...

I have silently followed Kayleigh's story for months. I am so sorry that your dreams of bring Kayleigh home did not come true but as you have said before, God must have had a different plan for your little angel. Know that your story and faith have touched so many lives and we are all better people for "knowing" your 1lb miracle. You are all in my prayers. God Bless you.

Dear Freeman Family,

As tears roll down my cheeks, I type this. We, the Sutherland family are praying and have been praying for you since we found your story, Kayleigh's story, about a month ago. A time of release, renlinquishment, of giving it over to the Lord is here in a new and fresh way. I know you have been on this journey of relinquishment daily since Kayleigh's diagnosis and birth about a year ago, but I lift you up even more so in this new leg of release! May you release it ALL to HIM! May He in turn send a healing balm to your aching hearts!

Peace and Blessings,
Psalm 23!

I read your very sad blog this morning with tears pouring down my face..
I cried for Kayleigh and your family and for the loss of this beautiful life that was here so fleetingly.

I am so sorry, words can not begin to express how much I feel for you all.
I pray that beautiful Kayleigh is now in a happy place, warm in the Lords embrace.

She fought so long and so hard and she gave you as much time as she could manage, hold her memory close in those dark hours.

Dearest Kayleigh sweet sweet girl, your mommy and daddy and family love you very, very much and they are going to miss you more than you will ever know but please don't worry about them Kayleigh because we will be here for them and we will help them walk this road of sorrow as they say goodbye to you for now.

Take care sweet one, we wish you nothing but peace.

It's changed me, and for that I thank you for sharing Kayleigh with us. God bless.

May God watch over you and may you know peace once again. For you both I have a poem created for those who have lost sweet angels before their time. Being a preemie mom and almost losing my daughter - it has shown me all too much how fragile life really is.


Happy mother's day mommy
I know you miss me much
The smell of my sweet skin
And my gentle touch

Don't cry for me today mommy
I am with you smiling down
Watching you enjoy your day
In my angelic gown

Remember me my mommy
For I remember you
I'll always be your baby
And I'll forever love you too

I have been following your story for a long time, but I'm not sure if I've ever commented.

I found you when I was hospitalized for six weeks because of severe preeclampsia and IUGR.

Your story and unwavering faith gave me strength and courage when I was so scared I couldn't even see, and every time I read about Kayleigh's progress I was filled with such hope. And heartbreak for you.

Our stories began the same, but they ended so achingly different, and my heart truly breaks for you. We brought our daughter home when she weighed three and a half pounds. Every night I slept in a hospital bed and every night since I've been home with my tiny Ella I have prayed and prayed that you would eventually take that same walk out of the hospital. I'm so sorry that things didn't happen that way.

It is so frustrating, heartbreaking, even infuriating when God's plans do not match up with our earthly ideals. It is a comfort to know that His plan is perfect, but it isn't always easy to see WHY. I don't know that we always get to see why this side of Heaven.

But I, and obviously thousands of others, are inspired by your faith and by your story. Your daughter made more of an impact on the world and was able to spread the Word and love of God to more people in her short time on Earth than most people do in a lifetime.

Your family is amazing. You are lifted up. I hold you in my heart and in my prayers.

Love,
Stephanie Delger, mom of Josh - a mere three weeks early, and Ella, a miraculous IUGR baby born at 34 weeks weighing barely three pounds. "Knowing" you through this blog has touched our lives and our hearts. Thank you for sharing your story.

Aimee and Adam,
I posted earlier this morning, but I wanted to add to what I (attempted) to say. I know that at some point, you will go back and read each and every one of these comments, because that is the purpose of your blog. You set out to teach others about Kayleigh's journey. How she time and time again overcame each and every obstacle that was put in her path. How your faith, and the faith of everybody following along with you, helped Kayleigh on her journey.

I know that I am a better person, a better NICU nurse because of Kayleigh.

Please continue to share her story, because it will never be over. Kayleigh will continue to join people together for the greater good.

Robin said...

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.

Praise God for his mercy.

May He give you peace and joy every time you think of Kayleigh.

In His love,
Robin

As I noted in my Twitter comments to you, I am so sorry, Freeman Family, for your immense loss and for the sadness that you all must be feeling.
Your photos, coupled with the background music, break my heart, but also touch it... deeply and sincerely!

I take comfort in the knowledge that beautiful ^Kayleigh^ is no longer struggling, suffering, or in pain. I've come to her story by way of my friend, Marie S., and I am so glad that I have.

^Kayleigh^ Sweetheart, thank you for touching my heart and my life, and the lives of SO MANY others. You are so brave, and a miracle, DEFINITELY. I am proud of you and though saddened by your departure from earth, one day, in Heaven, I hope that, perhaps we will meet!

"Fly High and Dream Big," beautiful ^Kayleigh Anne^. I love you.

My heart, my prayers, and my deepest condolences are with you, your mommy, daddy, siblings, and all of your family, friends, and loved ones. God Bless You, Tiny Angel ^Kayleigh^...

I am praying for you all and asking the Lord to wrap you in his arms. May you always find comfort in your memories of Kayleigh. She truly is unforgetable and has touched so many. Thank you for allowing us to be part of Kayleigh's journey. It has (and will continue) to be a honor. My heart goes out to your family.

I have been following your blog for a while now and have been so touched by your beautiful little girl. I have rejoiced with you in times of happiness and cried in times of sadness. Kayleigh has touched the lives of so many people and will always be remembered. She has taught me how precious life is and to enjoy every moment I spend with my daughter. Still praying for you and your family to find the strength to get through this very difficult time. Stay strong and know that Kayleigh is looking down on the two of you and smiling because you are such great parents.

I am so sorry. I can't even imagine the pain you are going through. I haven't been a very Godly person in the past & Kayleigh's story has made me a believer. I have to be for my three small children. God Bless you, I am beyond heartbroken for your family.

God does not take children from their parents. God would not be so cruel.

God created the human body to function in a very complex way, and when it ceases to operate as designed, due to illness, accident or significant physical complications, it does not sustain life.

I believe that at the same time God welcomes Kayleigh into heavenly life with him with love and joy, he is crying and grieving deeply along with Aimee and Adam. God gives life, he doesn't take it.

bonniebelle said...

Freeman Family,

You are all truly in our thoughts! May you find joy in the memories and the peace to grieve. Know that no two people grieve the same way. There are no timelines or formulas. But know that life goes on, although sometimes that's the hardest part of losing someone.

Jeremy and Bonnie Stafford

p.s. If anyone from the church sees this... is there a food schedule or anything being put together. I know the family has a lot of support, but I'd love to contribute if there is anything I can do to help.

My thoughts and prayers are with you. I pray from deep within that the Lord will give you extra peace and comfort in the next coming days and the same forever and forever. Thank you for sharing your story, my faith has grown a little stronger. Squeeze each other tight and the kids too. You all need lots of love right now. I don't know you personally, but I do know that you have a lot of love and strength. I have seen the love and dedication you gave to Kayleigh as well as your other 2 kids and wish I had that same amount for my daughter. Don't get me wrong, I have a lot of love for my daughter, but you are just so positive in everything and I can feel the love you have through reading your blogs. Stay strong and God Bless you and your family. I am so sorry that God decided it was time to take his little girl home. She isn't in anymore pain, she is dancing on the streets of Gold and she probably has the largest crown of jewels up there. I can also tell you she was greeted by millions in heaven and my father-in-law had to be one of them as he just loved babies and went to be with Jesus July 20, 2007. Again so sorry and sad that Kayleigh's journey has come to an end here on earth. I look forward to meeting her some day

Words cannot express how very sorry I am for the loss of sweet Keleigh from this life. Tears are streaming down my face on your behalf right now, and selfishly, on my own. I've looked forward to seeing Kaleigh each day. She is so beautiful! I will miss her. Thank you for sharing her with all of us. She has touched my life and I will never look at my own children in the same way again. As a mother I cannot fathom losing a child and my heart breaks for your family. Know that our family, here in UT, will continue to pray for you all for a long time to come...

plaidspolitics said...

When Bridget was dying, we reminded her siblings what we had already had to tell them when Dominic died. We were going to have to say goodbye, and we were going to miss her very much. But goodbye is short for "God Be With Ye". Really, that is where the word came from. It was a way we could say to someone parting that we would look forward to seeing them again, and that we knew that our God was watching over us, and we wished for His Spirit to watch over our good friend or loved one until that day came. Well, when we have these separations, it is hard to say goodbye. But it is also a sweet thing to think "God be with ye, my little one." God surely will watch over Kayleigh. And I hope, he watches over those of us who are here waiting for that reunion day as well. I am sorry for all that you looked forward to having, the hopes that will have to rest with Kayleigh for now, until the Hope of our Resurrection, of our Reunion, restores it all to us again.

Oh how my heart is breaking, praying so hard for you guys. Smiling through the tears thinking of Kayleigh looking down from heaven. Fly high sweet, precious Kayleigh-you are healed and perfect. You are in my prayers Freeman family.

Dear Freeman family,

It was with great sadness that I read this morning about your having lost sweet Kayleigh. Sadness for your lost time with her, for the lost future. And yet, I also rejoice in the hope for her future and for the great expanse of time that you will spend with her after this life. Our lives are just a blink in light of eternity (Psalm 39:5 - You have made my days a mere handbreadth; the span of my years is as nothing before you. Each man's life is but a breath). What a joy that as Christians we can rejoice in that future when we know Jesus!

Thank you Freemans for the ways that you have brought glory to Jesus through this difficult circumstance. Your faith has been an encouragement to us all. Thank you Kayleigh for being a means by which the Gospel could go out to the nations. Many people live much longer lives with much less impact.

Thank you Jesus for your victory over death. We long for heaven that we would know our new bodies, our new life with you Jesus, and for perfect relationship with each other and with you.

1 Corinthians 15: 20But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.... 25For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. 26The last enemy to be destroyed is death.... 36How foolish! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies. 37When you sow, you do not plant the body that will be, but just a seed, perhaps of wheat or of something else. 38But God gives it a body as he has determined, and to each kind of seed he gives its own body.... 42So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable; 43it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; 44it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body. 45So it is written: "The first man Adam became a living being"; the last Adam, a life-giving spirit. 46The spiritual did not come first, but the natural, and after that the spiritual. 47The first man was of the dust of the earth, the second man from heaven. 48As was the earthly man, so are those who are of the earth; and as is the man from heaven, so also are those who are of heaven. 49And just as we have borne the likeness of the earthly man, so shall we bear the likeness of the man from heaven. 50I declare to you, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. 51Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed— 52in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. 53For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality. 54When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: "Death has been swallowed up in victory." 55"Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?" 56The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. 57But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”

Dear Freemans,
I've never lived what you've been through, but I've been told by those who have that there is no greater pain than to lose a child. My heart cries for you. I prayed last week that God would prove Himself through Kayleigh, and that He would do His will in His time. I also prayed for His mercy for you.
As I've aged my belief about Heaven has changed. It's a lot more real, more life-like. My Daddy's there, and nobody loved to bounce a baby on his knee more than my daddy. Three of my tiny grandchildren are there, and I believe they are laughing with him. I know that he was there to welcome Kayleigh and love on her in the same way. She's perfect, she's happy, and she's NOT ALONE. God bless you.

I am left without words. I have come back to this site 4 times now and still nothing comes. Know that her life has touched so many. Because of Kayleigh I hug my kids tighter, pray harder and most of all love fuller than ever before. As you know she is in a better place without pain and waiting till the day her mommy and daddy come to see her in heaven. For her it will be a brief moment without you, for you it will feel like an eternity. Take things day by day. The hole in you heart from this loss will never heal, but as time goes you will remember the happy times with her, the peaceful times in her life instead of the pain your feeling now. {{HUGS}}

I am so sorry for your loss. I've been following Kayleigh for several months now, and I have been praying for her. My heart breaks for you, and I've cried many tears for her. She is an amazing person, probably the most amazing person I'll ever know. I don't know you both personally, but I feel close by following her story. I LOVE the pictures of you holding your precious baby. You all look at peace. The way Aimee is just looking at her, appreciating her for the person she is, and Adam, in my by, you both are PARENTS OF THE YEAR!

I didn't want to believe it. Waves of grief have been hitting me all day. I finally got home and got my tissue box and read the post. How beautiful. I feel broken I loved Kayleigh as much as I love my own children. I felt as though she was a part of my family and I can honestly say I have never felt so sad in my life. The only thing getting me through now is knowing she is no longer in pain and is with the Lord. What a wondeful place to be. After her surgery and the awful news I wanted to delete the blog from my favorites and remember her as she was but I just couldn't. I wanted a miracle. I wanted to see her perfect face and big brown eyes I just could not stay away she has a part of my heart and there was no way I could turn that away. Adam and Aimee you are amazing people and God has truly blesssed you. You will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers and know Kayleigh will have a piece of my heart forver and has truly changed me as a mother and a person for teh better. I love her so much and that will never change. God Bless you all!

I am so sorry for your loss. You will be kept in my prayers. God will definitely get your family through this. It's just an absolutely beautiful thing that your family will be able to see her again. Once again, my heart is breaking for you. I lost my niece in 2007 from a heart problem and we were in the hospital for three straight months. God has shown me so much from this experience, and I can see He is showing you very much as well! So sorry that this had to happen.

I've been following your blog and praying since the day i found it. I was praying to never have to read this post! You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. My heart is crying for you guys, I can't even begin to imagine the pain that you are feeling. I hope that God's love is giving you peace, and that your faith will stay strong through this tough time. Don't ever turn away from him because he has your baby girl! You will be in my thoughts and prayers.
