5/13/09 - Update on Memorial

With Kayleigh's memorial coming up, preparations are being made and things are starting to come together.

Many of you asked if there were something you could do to help and we came up with an idea. On Sunday (May 17th), at 4:00PM(EST) after the memorial, we will be letting off pink balloons in Kayleigh's name. Tied to each balloon will be a card that reads:

Kayleigh Anne Freeman
Our One Pound Miracle from God
(6/23/08 - 5/11/09)
www.KayleighAnneFreeman.blogspot.com


God has used Kayleigh in many ways and just because she is in Heaven with our Lord, that doesn't mean our work is done. Let's continue to spread faith, hope and love to those who need to receive it. God will lead those balloons to the right hands.

Also, many of you asked if there is an address to send flowers and what we are doing in lieu of flowers, are donations to Levine Children's Hospital NICU at Carolina's Medical Center - 1000 Blythe Blvd. Charlotte, NC 28203. In the remarks, we are all putting "From Kayleigh"

Thank you all so much for your kind comments and support through this. Aimee and I are hanging in there. We will cry, laugh and then cry some more, but we are being strong for each other no matter what. That is what is important right now. God has blessed Aimee and I so much to be upset with Him or angry at anything. Kayleigh is a special person and we can all agree that what she has done in her short life is beyond amazing. However, we do miss her so very much and it feels as if a piece of us is missing.

She may not be in my arms, but she will remain in my heart.

God Bless,

Keyleigh will always be in my heart as well. I never though that a little baby, that I never met would inspire me in so many ways. I will never forget Keyleigh or Adam and Aimee.

You guys are 7 hours away from me, but I'm trying to find a way there! If I take the Greyhound, my daughter won't get a chance to sleep for hours and hours and hours because the greyhound usually takes twice as long and it's a 14 hour round trip already! If the schedule doesn't look too bad I will try to be there and hope my baby sleeps on the bus!

elteescat said...

Oh, I just checked the Greyhound schedule and it will take over 24 hours of ride time, plus the hours in town! :( I could do it alone, but not with a baby and I don't have money for a hotel! :(

Nicole said...

I am sooo sorry for your loss. What a sweet little girl Kayleigh is. God has truly blessed you with a precious daughter. Thank you for sharing her with the world. I know her life was not lived in vain. God is using her and will continue to do so!!!!

Prayers for strength and wisdom as you make decisions regarding the memorial service. Godspeed my new friends!

In His Love,

♥ I've been having a hard time dealing with the news of our baby Kayleigh passing. I'm sure it's nothing compared to your pain but I can honestly say that I fell in love with your baby & her story. It's just so hard to believe she's gone, I truly prayed & believed somehow a miracle would occur & she would pull through but only God knows why he took her so soon. I will miss her dearly even though I never met her but I see her through my baby girl. We will most definitely be releasing pink balloons (while her music plays) on Sunday & I will take that time to write baby Kayleigh a personal note as that will be very therapeutic for me. She has changed my life FOREVER! Some things in life are just not fair & we find ourselves asking 'why?' but there is a purpose for everything even though we can't seem to accept it or understand it and this is something I've learned from your family. Sweet baby Kayleigh has made me realize how short life is and that I need to change some things in my life because we truly never know when God will decide to take our loved ones to join him. I have some peace knowing that someday I will meet her in heaven and join other loved ones I miss but not till I'm done here on Earth which I pray will be a very long time from here but in the meantime I will share her story with anyone who needs it. Love Always! -Texas ♥

Mama J said...

My daughter is one day younger than Kayleigh, and I can't imagine what you're going through. God has truly blessed you both with the strength and faith you need right now. I'll be praying for Kayleigh and your family. We can't make it down to the memorial, but and my daugher and I will be releasing our balloons with you on Sunday.

All of our love,
Jocelyn and Sydney

I saw your segment on "the doctors'" yesterday. You could tell everyone was so moved by your experience and Kayleigh's struggle. I'm so happy to see that they were able to help financially!

I wanted to thank you for staying true to your Faith in Christ during the interview. Your testimony will stand strong before a watching world, especially now as you grieve.

I'm sure you just wish you could have Kayleigh back again.
Praying for you all.

Miranda said...

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your famlies at this time. Take peace in knowing she is suffering no more. Not to mention the FUN she must be having. What we wouldnt give to get to be in that glorious place with her.
I also wanted to mention that I saw the episode of The Doctors yesterday. Thank you for being so public about your and Kayleighs journey. The struggles she made some people will not ever see in a life time.She was put here for a reason and I believe it was to show each and everyone of us that miracles truly are possible.
Take care of yourselves

Lana said...

Once again- not thinking of yourselves, but others! I have been following your story just the last couple months. My older 5 children would want me to read the update each night. The night I told them Kayleigh passed away, they were sad. We were all sad! Our prayers are with you. I admire you so much, you are great examples of love and faith to all of us. Thank you for sharing Kayleigh with my family. We learned just how precious life is.

Jenney said...

We will continue to pray for your family. I watched and cried with you through The Doctors. Know that you are loved.

Boatloads of Prayers coming your way. We will definitely release balloons here in California. May Jesus be GLORIFIED in this amazing beautiful girl.

It's AMAZING how one can fall in love with a little girl they've never met....but through your AMAZING posts & pictures, Adam & Aimee, I fell so in love with your sweet Kayleigh! Maybe it was her strong, brave fighting spirit, or maybe it was just her beautiful little face, but she's had a hold on me since I first started reading your blog a few months ago. And like so many others, I prayed soooo hard for a different outcome...I was anxiously waiting to see pictures of y'all carrying her home to her room. When I watched The Doctors yesterday (in between the tears), it was kinda bittersweet, because I knew that she had already gone onto Heaven. But, I'm so thankful that the Lord led you to do this show...I'm sure it touched so many people (even the people on the show)!

Our GOD is AMAZING...His ways are not our ways. And I know He is going to do some amazing things in your lives! He sent you a wonderful gift with Kayleigh, and I know He will continue to work through you & Kayleigh to spread His message of "faith, hope & love!" Our world desperately needs to hear His message, especially now.

My heart is broken, but I'm looking forward to the day when I finally get to meet that precious little Kayleigh (& a few other "angel babies" I've read about on CB), and we can all dance with the angels!

Thank you for sharing your AMAZING KAYLEIGH ANNE FREEMAN with us...we are all better people because of her! She will remain forever in all our hearts! Isn't it AMAZING....one little baby can impact sooo many all around the world! Isn't our God AMAZING????

May you find some comfort in knowing that Kayleigh is in Jesus' arms, no longer in pain, and may the Lord continue to hold you up and carry you through this difficult time.

We just wanted to say that we're so very very sorry to hear about the passing of your beautiful baby girl. We found your website about a month ago and had been praying for Kayleigh. Our children (Seth, 4 and Hadassah, 2) have frequently stopped what they were doing in the past weeks to say, "We should pray for baby Kayleigh." Thank you for sharing your story with so many people. Your faith is an inspiration. We pray that in this very difficult time you will feel God holding you and that he will be your comfort. Again, we're so sorry. We can't imagine your sadness, and there are no words to give to make everything better. We do rejoice that Kayleigh is with Jesus and that she is free from the pains of this world. We look forward to meeting her some day.
Your family will continue to be in our prayers.
With much love,
Natalie and family

Kassey said...

Aimee and Adam,
I recorded yesterday's episode of the Doctor's and was able to watch it yesterday when I got home. Needless to say I cried the whole way through it. I love and hug on my kids everyday, but it seemed like yesterday I did it just a little bit more. My youngest is just a few months younger than Kayliegh and everytime I look at him I think of her and what she is now doing up in Heaven (laughing and smiling and getting into everything). She will always be in my heart as your story has hit me in many different ways. I will be letting off pink ballons on Sunday in honer of Kaleigh.

Hello Adam!

In preparing for my trip down, I had the need for hotel and wasn't sure where to go. I did some digging, called McEwen and wanted to pass along some info in case any others need this info. If you would like to share, please feel free. May save you from answering this question... this is copied from Baby Center where I left this since many girls are planning on coming...

If anyone is coming from out of town, I wanted to pass along some hotel info should you need to stay the night before heading back.
Holiday Inn Express was wonderful! Their regular room rate is $109 but because I told them I was coming in for a funeral at McEwen they gave me a bereivement rate of $79. They are also giving me early checkin so that I can get cleaned up after making the 9 hour drive prior to the service. The man I spoke to was so kind and helpful. If anyone is in need of a room, I recommend them. Of course, I haven't stayed there yet but the planning was great! From the hotel to the funeral home, it is just over a mile and only a few minute drive.
Hopefully I will see more of you down there. Let me know if you have any questions.

I've probably cried a thousand tears as I've followed your story. I'm so sad that she's gone but I know she's at peace and resting in the arms of our Father in Heaven.

I doubt I'll ever meet you all, but I look forward to the day that I can meet your precious family in heaven.

You all have touched my heart in ways you'll never know. Our family in Arizona will be releasing 5 pink balloons honoring Kayleigh (one from each of us) on Sunday. God bless you always.

You never said I'm leaving
You never said goodbye
You were gone before I knew it
And only God knew why
A million times I needed you
A million times I cried
If Love alone could have save you
You never would have died
In life I loved you dearly
In death I love you still
In my heart you hold a place
That no one will ever fill
It broke my heart to lose you
But you didn't go alone
For part of me went with you
The day God took you home.

Rochelle said...

Saw you guys on The Doctors episode. Thanks for letting us know it was coming up so we could DVR it. It was amazing. I absolutely wept watching it; saw you trying so hard to hold it together and I lost it. Such an inspiration and so great for them to help you out like that... it was so special.

Praying for you guys. Hugs and love from afar; wishing I could be there even though I don't really know you. Blessings!

Please know that my prayers are with your family during this difficult time. Kayleigh certainly has touched so many people. And what a beautiful family that God blessed her with before bringing her home to be with Him. And I know that she was a blessing to you all. May God be with you all.

I have no words... On Sunday, my family will release 11 pink balloons to honor Kayleigh's courage, life and legacy. May the knowledge that so many of us hold you in our hearts and minds allow you to release a little of your pain and sadness as the skies across the country (and beyond) are graced by this tribute to your beautiful angel and her family.

I just recently came upon your blog and story. I am so sorry for your loss. How sweet it is, though, to imagine Kaleigh in Heaven with Jesus! Prayers are being said for your family here in Ohio.

From my 9-year-old daughter:

I'm sorry for what happened.

From her 37-year-old mama:

I'm so sorry too. Your family is in my thoughts.

I've been sharing stuff with my daughters and husband from your blog. Katy was very sad to hear of Kayleigh's passing and asked that I send you a 'tweet'. I explained to her that you might not get it so she asked that I leave a message on your blog instead. I know you are probably so busy and unable to respond but please know that our family is thinking of you.

Greetings to you dear people!

You do not know me, and I have never commented on your site before, but I have been following Kayleigh's story for a couple weeks now. I am so sorry for your incredible loss, but I want to affirm your trust in God and refusal to be bitter against His will. May God comfort your hearts as only He can!!! May He continue to be glorified through Kayleigh's life--on earth and in Heaven!

P.S. You would be blessed to hear/read the words to the song, "Come, Ye Disconsolate". You can find the hymn in some hymnbooks, or you can find it by a google search.

That little piece of you is NOT missing. She is with you every minute of the day, in the way you & Aimee treat each other and your 2 other children. Hang in there and take each day one at a time.

What a wonderful post. I'm so glad to hear from you guys. I am praying for your family several times every single day. I loved seeing you guys on The Doctors and felt a huge weight being lifted as the donations were made. I hope so much that you guys will be able to stay in your home. Much love and continued prayers~

Julie said...

That is a beautiful idea you had for the balloons. Since we can't be there with you all. My family and I will let off balloons right here in Bakersfield CA with that same wording on it to be found. I know Kayleighs inspiration will continue even though she is not on this earth anymore. God bless you. On another note: When you get yourselves together, I hope you will continue the Thoughtful Thursdays. I think what you do for humanity through that alone is wonderful. I will make a point to do it everyweek. Love to you all Adam and Aimee. Big Hugs

Prayers for your family.
Thank you for sharing your story with us all. As a mom who had 2 kids go through the nicu at cmc and one who nearly lost his fight for life whet you are doing a great thing by sharing.
Things like what you went through with Kayleigh could happen to any of us.
My Heart breaks with your family's and I pray for a bigger blessings to come. Please take care.
Another suggestion would be for people to pray for the families and the babies in the NICU. They are on a Very difficult ROAD, even on their babies best days. Pray for the Nurses who just took care of Kayleigh...Their heart's were invested also as the nurses treat these babies as their own. I know this because I still send pictures to the nurse who took care of my son in the NICU (more than 3 years ago)

I have tried time and time again to write. To give some words other than I am sorry for the loss of Kayleigh's life. Words other than I hope your pain will ease up and to be strong. Because while I truly pray for your hearts in these dark days, I just can't put into words what I want to say.

How proud I am for your little girl and her fight. How strong she was. How sorry I am she fought sooo hard and didn't make it here on earth. How as parents the two of you were living any parents worst nightmare. To be raising two other children, trying to make a living and caring for a baby you didn't know if or when she would come home. You are AMAZING! Thank you for sharing your story! I saw the Dr's and just sobbed. To hear Adam talk so openly and honestly about his love for his daughter and His love for us. It's so refreshing to hear God's word on tv. I was SOOOO proud of you! Who knows how many lives your baby girl has touched. I know she is proud of you too..

Hang in there! Your family will continue to be in my prayers.

Dear Adam & Aimee,



I just got my Kayleigh bracelet in the mail today. Thank you. It blessed me & broke my heart, at the same time. It is an honor to wear something in support of Kayleigh and your family, and now, in beautiful memory of her.

With love & prayers,

I just wanted to let you know that not only has Kayleigh blessed others so much, but you and Aimee, as husband and wife, have also blessed so many. What a great couple God put together, what a great blessing your whole family has been. You have really shown the world so much when it comes to love for both your daughter and family. We love you and continue to pray.

I hope the help you got from the people on The Drs has lifted some weight off you shoulder for a while. I will prayer for you and Kayleigh each and everyday. I wish I could be with you at the Memorial just to give you a hug for Kayleigh and for all you have brought to my life but I will be with you in spirit. I cant even think how hard it is to bury your baby. She is with our Lord he is holding her and keeping her safe as she watches over you. My (((((((hugs)))))))))) to you.

Dina said...

I know I already posted ( a million times maybe?) but I am so drawn to this blog. I've checked on it everyday for over 11 months - and although I know there won't be anymore reports on Kayleigh's progression...I still come here, and will come here until this site no longer exists.

I've cried too many tears and I am so broken over your loss. I hope you guys are hanging in there.

And as sad and painful as it will be for us - if you find the courage to tell us about your last beautiful moments with Kayleigh, I would love to hear it.

Thinking of you always!

Kayleigh was beautiful. I am so sorry for your loss, and my heart hurts for you and what you're going through right now. Although I only held my daughter, London, for 2 days before she died (HLHS), I still know the feeling of losing my child, going home with an empty carseat, empty room, and dealing with the grief day to day. Kayleigh is, indeed, in a much better place - never to hurt again - and you will see her again. However, we just want our children here with us...I know. I will be praying for your comfort and peace as you begin your journey of grief and healing. God bless you.

I have followed your story for just about a yr now and I will continue to follow as long as you continue to share.

Please know, from sharing your Kayleigh's journey, you opened up my heart to love each one of you.
I also must tell you....
Kayleigh has lifted my love for Our God to heights I have never known.

With every inch of my being these words will always be true.

Kayleigh I so love you.

I saw you on the Dr's the other day and one thing struck me about you ... Adam is that you are a very strong individual ... especially inside. You are a rock and you lean on the Rock which is our Lord and Savior. I continue to pray for you both ... please lean on one another. I think that your statement of Kayleigh touching so many people is very pointed!
God knows why ... sometimes we only see a glimpse ... I know I don't know everything about my life - but after 27 years some little puzzle pieces are put together just recently - HE WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU! Just you mind that!
I pray for your continued success in this life - with your family and business ...

I just only recently learned about you angel Kayleigh. My heart aches and my families prayers are with you that you may have the strength to make it thru this hard time. Your daughter is beautiful, I am so sorry she was called to the lord so early. I too understand the pain of the NICU experience. I am the proud mother of a 1 lb. 11 oz, 24 weeker that spent the first 9 months of his life in the hospital with surgery every month. And still continues to thrive with many complications. I know all too well the fears that come with your tiny little angel being wheeled into the operating room, and the outcome being so unknown. I was never very religious prior to my child being born, but am now a strong believer that GOD has a plan for everyone, and he makes everything happen for a reason, weither we understand it or not. Your little girl has touched the lives of so many people around the world, she and you are beacons of GODs love and strength, your story is one of many that goes apon deaf ears, the struggles that so many families must endure with the birth of a premature child. Your patience and perserverance in God will get you thru this. Many prayers are with you!
Love and Prayers, Kim, Brian and Cole.

Dear friends,

I've never met you but ran across your blog randomly through friends we met during my son's time in the NICU....I was so touched by your hearts and how the Lord has touched so many lives through Kayleigh's little life. What a BEAUTIFUL little girl and a beautiful family. I know you have so many people praying for you and you may not ever see this, but just know that you have encouraged me and refreshed my soul with your faith in God's goodness. He is so glorified through Kayleigh and your lives. Thank you for touching yet another heart. :) Much love and prayers. :) Melissa

Praying for you today, for peace and comfort, I know as time gets closer things become more real. It will be a year in July when I lost my sister and her baby due to a car accident. I remember talking to my mom and her telling me they were taking the baby, I told her about Kayleigh, that she was born at 25 weeks...that there was hope...unfortunately the baby passed from the accident, and my sister passed a few hours later. I am thinking of you and praying for you. We are going as a family today to buy the balloons to realease tomorrow. We love you and God bless you.

I don't know if Liz and/or I will be able to let off balloons from here in Massachusetts, but if we can, we will, even if not at 4:00 PM.

Our hearts and prayers are with all of you!

And your appearance on "The Doctors" was so inspiring - heartbreaking too, for sure - but definitely inspiring!

Love,
Becky Warren

I have been praying for your family many times throughout this past week and will continue to do so in the weeks and months ahead. Kayleigh and you all have touched my life. More the Lord wrap His arms around you.

Today around 4:15 my family released 15 pink ballons for Kayleigh. One for every month she was with us and 4 for her family. Thanks you for sharing your story. When buying the balloons I got to share your story and it touched other lives as well. We will continue to pray for your family. God Bless -Toni

I've said this often but I'll say it again...thank you for sharing Kayleigh with us. She's such a beautiful person and I am so very thankful to have known her. Can't wait to meet her on the other side. That will be a glorious day!

I can't help but cry and smile at the same time. I cry for your loss and smile because you, Kayleigh and your family are a gift to the world. Your family has changed lives in such a positive way because you have such praise for God even through your great heartache. Kayleigh is so blessed to have you and Aimee as her parents. God bless you each day!

I am so sorry for the grief you are walking through. I am lifting you up in prayer tonight. Kayleigh was a beautiful little girl and seeing her pictures and looking into those beautiful eyes was truly a treasure. God has truly been honored in the way that you carried and parented her through every day of her earthly life. I will look forward to meeting her in our heavenly home. Until that day I will be praying for God's continued strength for your family.

My son and I participated in the balloon release for Kayleigh. I have emailed the 2 photos and short video to the e-mail stated on your contact page. It has been returned several times with reason as the host server thinks its a virus or spam. Is there an alternate way to send them.

Thanks, Sienna

I am so sorry for the loss of your sweet baby girl. But I am grateful that you had these precious months to share with her.

Today our family celebrated what would have been our first baby's 6th birthday. He left us at only 20days. I remember clearly the pain that came, but also the peace and comfort. And as time has passed, the peace has made a bigger presence.

My prayers are with you and your family. And may the peace be with you.
