Being a preemie too (2lbs 7 oz - 28wks) he was so very small when the surgery happened and he just couldn't bounce back. It was the hardest thing that my hubby and I have ever had to do in our lives - hand Moses back to our Father. I felt like my heart was being ripped out -- it was ONLY because of our faith in Jesus and holding on to the truth that even though I didn't understand, HE was working things out for Moses' best and for my best. The peace and grace of God took a hold of our hearts and comforted us like no one else could.<br /><br />This is what I pray for you and your family tonight. I pray that you will be able to hold her in a rocking chair in her room at home. I pray that God will grant you HIS peace in the coming times.<br /><br />God Bless<br />Erinn<br />www.moses-mackay-ragan.memory-of.comTheRagan3https://www.blogger.com/profile/17003816630255905785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3511754798290820361.post-46101654274913567622009-05-07T22:17:00.001-04:002009-05-07T22:17:00.001-04:00While I have never walked in your shoes...

The pain will lessen but not go away. Believe it or not, there will come a time when you will get through a day without tears. <br />Just hold on tight to your children and each other until then.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00957776297304002900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3511754798290820361.post-68182897854703285452009-05-06T17:38:00.000-04:002009-05-06T17:38:00.000-04:00Aimee I'm also "new" to your blog.

I really don't know if "loss" is a sufficient word to describe beautiful Kayleigh. We ALL have GAINED so much following her journey, that "loss" doesn't seem right. <br /><br />Aimee, take many pictures, get a sculpture of her hands/feet. I have read where parent's who's ANGELS who have gained their wings was glad that they had this memory with them. "Forgetting" was each one personal fear and this "physical" memory of their angels soothes their heart. <br /><br />This is a path NO PARENT wish to travel, or a "club" no parents wants to join. God has chosen You and Adam to take care of HIS most precious gift. I found this poem befitting, I hope and pray it brings you comfort.<br /><br />I'll Lend You A Child<br />by Edgar Guest <br /><br />"I'll lend you for a little time a child of mine," He said. <br />For you to love - while she lives <br />And mourn for when she's dead. <br /><br />It may be six or seven years <br />Or twenty-two or three, <br />But will you, till I call her back, <br />Take care or her for Me? <br /><br />She'll bring her smiles to gladden you, <br />And should this stay be brief <br />You'll have her lovely memories as solace for your grief. <br /><br />I cannot promise she will stay, <br />Since all from earth return, <br />But there are lessons taught down there <br />I want this child to learn. <br /><br />I've looked this world over <br />In search for teachers true, <br />And from the throngs that crowd <br />Life's lanes, I have selected you. <br /><br />Now will you give her all your love, <br />Nor count the labor vain, <br />Nor hate Me when I come to call to <br />Take her back again?" <br /><br />I fancied that I heard them say, <br />"Dear Lord, Thy will be done, <br />For all the joy Thy child shall bring, the risk of grief we'll run. <br /><br />We'll shelter her with tenderness, <br />We'll love her while we may, <br />And for the happiness we've known <br />Forever grateful stay. <br /><br />But should the angels call for her <br />Much sooner than we've planned, <br />We'll brave the bitter grief that come <br />And try to understand."<br /><br /><br />Lifting you in prayersnekciphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10686413749838968519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3511754798290820361.post-27123749133420021122009-05-06T02:55:00.000-04:002009-05-06T02:55:00.000-04:00I was just wondering after all the struggles with ...I was just wondering after all the struggles with Kayleigh, are you guys going to try again?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3511754798290820361.post-4520630201461714822009-05-05T23:29:00.000-04:002009-05-05T23:29:00.000-04:00What a miracle little Kayleigh is and will always ...What a miracle little Kayleigh is and will always be.

Can I remind you that our medical system is really good at understanding what happens with the physical body but has no clue about the spirit and what goes on at a spiritual level - just because Kayleigh's physical brain no longer processes emotions does not mean her spirit doesn't - keep loving her up because it matters. Kayleigh still exists and you matter to her.

There is not a day that goes by as I watch him crawling and learning that I am not reminded of Kayleigh. <br /><br />Last night after reading this post, I held my sleeping son for an hour, crying for joy that he is now healthy and home with us and also crying for the unfairness that Kayleigh is not home with her family. I want you to know that I can't imagine a day going by in the future as I watch Isaac grow, that I will not be reminded of the milestones that Kayleigh should be making too. <br /><br />Always praying for a miracle. I also pray that Kayleigh will get to be welcomed home to her family very soon. That will be a joyous day and the world will celebrate with you.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15069654430006013946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3511754798290820361.post-51479238550034988202009-05-02T20:12:00.000-04:002009-05-02T20:12:00.000-04:00Thank you for sharing your story about such a prec...Thank you for sharing your story about such a precious amazing little girl.
