Brrr.. We wanted to tell you that Kayleigh's memorial was beautiful. The slide show was so touching.... the pictures...the music...everything that has touched or been touched by Kayleigh has been indeed AMAZING. The words from both you and her grandparents were so open and raw with emotion and love. The minister, in his youth and inexperience was perfect. No rehearsed phrases, but openness and gentleness. Thank you for sharing all of that with us. We love you. You are so strong. Oh, Yes you are, you can't wear the mask you've had on for all of this time without having a great inner strength yourself. We applaud you. And we give praise to our God.

I truly believe this dream was a gift from God. <br />Years later, I shared that dream & poem with my sister-in-law & she put into pastels what I had described in words. Perhaps it will minister you...maybe not now, but sometime. Meanwhile, you remain in my prayers. <br /><br />As I can't insert a picture here, if you'd like to see it, I've posted it on my blog: http://musingsfromauntiem.blogspot.com/ <br /><br /> <br />Vision—Rubble<br /><br />A pile of rubble<br /> Shards of broken pottery<br />Discards<br /> Rejects<br /> Garbage<br /><br />A Man comes—walks through<br /> the place.<br />Eyes piercing, searching,<br />Looking intensely…<br /><br />He bends, drops to His knees.<br />Scarred hands pry through<br />the rubble.<br />He digs—carefully…<br /> not because of His <br /> hands, which crack<br /> and bleed—opened<br /> again at some ancient<br /> scarred wound.<br /><br />No—the care He takes<br />is for the shards.<br />These He holds carefully—<br />Mindless of the pain they bring to Him.<br />Rather, with gentle care<br /> —as a caress—<br />He lifts each piece <br />from the rubble, <br />piecing together a vessel.<br />Searching for each lost piece,<br />bringing it back,<br />that the vessel might be whole.<br /><br /> No piece is overlooked.<br />Each fragment is valuable—<br />priceless.<br /> The pieces found,<br />He turns back to His house,<br />cradling the broken vessel<br />in His arms.<br /><br />Once home, the pieces<br />are laid out before Him.<br />He picks each one up<br /> Remembering.<br />As He remembers,<br />He washes the piece…<br />with water & tears.<br />Washing away the grime<br />so that each piece<br />—though broken from the whole—<br />is beautiful again.<br /> <br />Then, painstakingly,<br />He begins to put this vessel<br />—cracked, damaged, discarded—<br />Back together again.<br />Each piece telling a portion <br />of the story of His vessel’s<br />life.<br /><br />Time has lost meaning<br />as He works on.<br />On—through the evening,<br />and on, into the darkest part<br />of the night.<br />On—<br />never stopping,<br />except, perhaps, to admire<br />His work.<br /><br />As dawn breaks,<br />the vessel stands<br /> Complete:<br />each piece in place…<br />nothing missing.<br /><br />Whole—whole, but cracked.<br />He fingers the vessel lovingly.<br />Running worn hands over<br />the cracks.<br /><br />A beautiful vessel…<br />and yet…<br /><br />The Potter gently kneads<br />His clay.<br />As He does,<br />Blood from His injured hands<br />is mixed in and through.<br /><br />Then He gently applies<br />this new mixture to His<br />precious vessel.<br />Smoothing over the cracks;<br />filling them in until—finally—<br />they disappear.<br /><br />Refined,<br />the vessel is placed in the <br />furnace.<br />The heat seems unbearable.<br />How is it the cracks do not loosen?<br />Perhaps by some power,<br />the vessel is held together in<br />this furnace of affliction.<br />Ah, yes: ‘tis the Potter’s <br />own blood which keeps the <br />vessel whole. <br /><br />When, at long last,<br />the vessel is pulled from<br />the fire, the Potter’s <br />joy cannot be contained.<br /><br />There!<br />There is His creation:<br /> Beautiful<br />as before any damage<br />took place…<br />Only…more so.<br /><br />The Potter’s joy radiates out…<br />and by some miracle, pours<br />into this vessel.<br />Filling<br /> Filling<br /> Overflowing.<br /><br />The miracle of the Potter’s<br />Hands: transforming<br />that which was destroyed<br />into the perfect container<br />for His unspeakable joy.<br /><br />~M.

Her husband has been found to be responsible. Your copy of it has been saved for you for this very day,the day after you had the memorial for your precious Kayleigh Anne. (I will mail a hard, pretty copy to the address Aimee gave us the other day.)<br /><br />My 17 year old grandson was looking at some of your pictures and he expressed his opinion that she was one of the prettiest babies he had ever seen. I had to agree with him, at least this time. Not only was she precious, she performed a precious ministry. <br /><br />May God give you the peace that only he can, the understanding that only he knows, the love that only he feels, the strength that only he is capable of and the ability to forgive which is the one thing that we have in common with Him. We may not be able to forget and wipe the slate clean, but we can forgive. From reading your posts, I'm afraid the time will come when you need to forgive yourselves. If that is true, remember this statement. God gives you the power to forgive, He doesn't hold it for himself.<br /><br />God Bless you and you will continue to be in my prayers and that of my family.<br /><br />Mimmy aka Joyce Smith<br /><br /><br />Shared Tears<br /><br />Our Father says we are to weep<br />With others when they cry,<br />And that we are to laugh with those<br />Who are happy by and by.<br /><br />News came to me that you have lost<br />Someone much too young to go.<br />She was beautiful and loving;<br />I’ve heard from those who know.<br /><br />So please do know that as I sit<br />And pen these words to you<br />The tears are flowing freely<br />And my heart is breaking too.<br /><br />I’ll keep you in my nearest thought<br />And in my earnest prayers<br />That God will hold you strongly<br />And you’ll feel him ever there.<br /><br />Just know I’m one of many<br />Who will share this pain today,<br />As you’ve shared pain and laughter<br />With others along life’s way.<br /><br />Joyce K.

I have been praying for your family, especially today as you say goodbye to your little miracle. Your Faith, Hope and Trust in God is truly an inspiration to me - even in what must be the most difficult days of your life. My 1lb 9 oz little boy has had his share of ups and downs since his birth and I wish I could say that I have the faith that you have.
