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)

May God bless your darling girl in Heaven and give your strength to accept His will for her. May you and your other beautiful children find love and joy with each other every day of your lives.

I've been following your story from Australia and in about a week, my own daughter will deliver her own first child (also a daughter) may she have grace like your blessed baby now gone, but never forgotten.

She has touched so many around the world.

Much love, God bless,

There isn't anything anyone can say to take away the pain of losing a child. Just know that there are people who Kayleigh will have touched. Those people share your pain. I'm truly sorry.

The Bretl Girls - Germany said...

God has another beautiful angel with him now and Kayleigh will never ever have pain again. Kayleigh's pain is gone and yours has increased and I am so sorry for that. My heart goes out to your family. I pray that God gives you the strength to get through this awful time. I wish we bloggers could give you some comfort but know that you have friends out here that you don't even know that pray for your families comfort and strength to get through this terrible time.

Sarah Benedict said...

Dear Adam and Aimee, I can't even imagine what you and your other children are feeling right now. My heart breaks for you and aches knowing that we won't get to see her sweet face anymore. So much that I want to say but I just can't put it into words. I'm a fellow believer and yet your story has touched me soo much. The faith you two have even through hard times is awesome. I continue to pray that Kayleigh's story will continue to touch other's lives. Are you still planning on finishing that book? I'm thinking and praying for all of you guys right now during this difficult day and the days to follow. May God bless your family! Please keep in touch! I'm so attached to your family even though we have never met personally. I feel like if you leave us I will have twice the empty hole. Love you guys!

Our hearts ache for all of you ... we know, all too well, the pain & sadness that you are feeling right now. Like Kayleigh, our precious son Logan was born on June 1, 2008 at 26 weeks gestation, weighing only 1 lb. 4.8 oz. Like Kayleigh, Logan overcame many obstacles and surprised all of his doctors & nurses. Sadly, Logan lost his valiant fight on July 27, 2008 ... he was just 8 weeks old. We will be thinking of all of you, and especially of sweet Kayleigh.

Perfect peace and healing for Kayleigh in the blink of an eye! But Healing will come for you guys too, slowly....but it will come.

No words can express how saddened I am to have learned of Kayleighs passing. I have followed her journey like so many others and felt like i knew her. She has touched more hearts in her short stay here than she may have realised. I was chatting to friends just today about little kayleigh and she was on my mind a lot of today, without realising she had already passed.
May her funeral be full of friends, family & followers remembering what a true miracle she was..... and still is.
Rest is peace sweet Kayleigh, Fly free little angel.

I'm so sorry! There are no words of comfort as I know all to well the loss of my precious daughter, Kailen. But be rest assured that you will again see your daughter!

You don't know me, but you have touched my life in a way that you'll never know. I am so so sorry for your loss. God, please be with this family in their time of need. Lay your healing hand upon their hearts and give them comfort in knowing that you are carrying them as you are carrying Kayleigh Anne. May their faith stay strong. Lord, we may not always understand your ways but we trust in them. In your name I pray, Amen.

I'm so sorry for the hurt your hearts are feeling. You both gave life to a miracle that touched thousands and soon to be millions of souls. I will forever hold my children tighter because of your story and I will forever keep you all and Kayleigh in my prayers. I have followed your story from the beginning and I am truly devastated by the loss of Kayleigh. May all the tears that fall over the next several days/weeks/ years by your followers, friends, and family somehow lessen your pain. God is blessed to have such an angel in his arms.

My prayers to you and your family. My husband and I had to say goodbye to our baby after his 4 month struggle to survive. It was the hardest time we ever went through, but he taught us so much about life. God will hold you tight, make your family stronger and your memories of your time with your precious baby girl will never be forgotten.

I will cry with both sad and joyous tears with you. Sad that you will never get to experience with Kaleigh here on Earth the things you wanted to. Joyous because she is made whole and well in the arms of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Dear Freeman Family,

I can not say how much it hurts in my heart to hear from Kayleighs death. I was on your site every day hoping and praying that she will make it and that you can take her home.
I cry the hole time and want to share something with you that I found one day.
It is a german poem. I try to translate it as good as I can.
Please appologize mistakes but my english is not the best anymore.


Still, seid leise,
es war ein Engel auf der Reise.
Er wollte ganz kurz bei euch sein,
warum er ging, weiß Gott allein.
Er kam von Gott, dort ist er wieder.
Er sollte nicht auf unsre Erde nieder.
Ein Hauch nur bleibt von ihm zurück.
in eurem Herz ein großes Stück.
Er wird für immer bei euch sein
vergesst ihn nicht, er war so klein.
Geht nun ein Wind an mildem Tag,
so denkt: Es war sein Flügelschlag.
Und wenn ihr fragt: Wo mag er sein?
So wisst: Engel sind niemals allein.
Er kann jetzt alle Farben sehn,
und barfuss durch die Wolken geh'n
Bestimmt lässt er sich hin und wieder
bei anderen Engelkindern nieder.
Und wenn ihr ihn auch sehr vermisst
und weint, weil er nicht mehr bei Euch ist,
so denkt: Im Himmel, wo es ihn nun gibt
erzählt er stolz: Ich werde geliebt

it means:

Be quiet, there is an angel on its journey.
She wanted to stay a while with you.
Why she´s gone now only god knows.
She came from god and now went back.
She was not supposed to stay on earth.
A whiff of her stays on earth
But a big piece of her stays in your hearts.
She always will be with you, don´t forget she was so small.
If you now feel the wind on your skin be sure it was the touch of her wings.
If you ask where is she now?
You can be sure, angels are never alone.
Now seeing all the bright colours
Walking barefoot over clouds
And when you miss her so much and cry because she is gone
Be sure:
In heaven where she is now, she proudly says:
I am beloved !!

I will pray for you and for Kayleigh and god will give you the strength to get through this difficult time.

In deep sorrow

Bianca and family

Thank you Adam and Aimee for sharing your daughter with everyone to love.

adam and aimee,
my heart is heavy this morning as i read your post. kayleigh is a true angel now, her photographs prove it. but we always knew that!!! this was NOT how things were supposed to end. kayleigh was a fighter, a gift, an angel, and an inspiration. my life will be better because of her. i promise to do what you say: when i tuck reece in at night, i'll kiss him and squeeze him tight and thank HIM for the miracle that he is. Thank you so much for sharing your story with the world. You have taught me how to love and live in every moment. Your sweet Kayleigh will ALWAYS be remembered.

I'm not sure what else to say other than your faith is SO amazing. I can not even pretend to be able to imagine what it feels like to send your child home to God after such a brief lifetime here on Earth with them. Thanks for being such testaments to God and for reminding each of us to hold our children just a little tighter each day and to cherish EVERY minute we have with them.

God Bless you and your entire family.

God bless your family during this rough time. Know that you are all srounded by your Christian brother's and sister's around the world at this time. A college professor who was dying from cancer once told my class during his last time there this and it has always stuck with me: "God never promised a perfect life, but He did promise perfect love." Tons of prayers and hugs are going your way. Kayleighs life was short but the memories and beauty she gave you all will last a long long time.

Christie said...

I am so sorry for your lose. Kayleigh and your family have touched so many lives. Thank you for sharing this journey with everyone! Your family now has a precious sweet angel watching over you! I had a niece pass away at 16mths old and I cared for her as my own child. At the time my daughter was 4 so I told her that everytime she saw all the wonderful colors in the sky, it was Kayla (my niece) coloring pictures for her. God Bless and you and we will continue to pray!

Thank you for sharing your sweet little girl with us. She became OUR little girl . I just want you to know that both you and Aimee have shown such Grace and Faith this past year. God picked wonderful parents when he decided who would take care of sweet Kayleigh here on earth. Now he will take care of her for you until you are back with your daugther.
Our family is praying for you today and everyday.

This is so sad to here. This has brought tears to my eyes. I could only emagine the hurt your family is going through. God Bless and you will be in my prayers. Rest in Heavenly Peace Kayleigh!

Jen Leuchters said...

I am so sorry....I am sitting at my desk with cold chills and tears rolling down my face thinking of the pain that you are going through. I too have lost a child, my son was born at 22 weeks and lived for only 96 minutes. It is a pain that cannot be described and it does take time to DEAL. I was always told that "Time will heal all wounds", well I don't believe that. I believe that Time will TEACH you how to deal with the pain and it will be more comforting for you because of your faith and KnOWING where Kayleigh is.
I live in Gastonia, if there is anything I can do for you all, please let me know....

I stumbled onto this blog a few weeks ago and have found myself checking it daily, praying for a miracle. I usually don't write anything. Especially because I don't know your family and I don't want to seem as if I know what you are going through. Kayleigh's story has touched me so deeply though and my heart just breaks for your family. You all are in my prayers and I hope that you are able to find peace in your faith. What a blessing Kayleigh was and it's so awesome that she is in such a better place where you will be able to see her again someday. God Bless!

Please know your precious Kayleigh has made a great impact on my life. Please know I am praying for your family and I know Kayleigh is up in heaven looking down on all of us and not wanting us to be sad. I believe she would want us to be happy to know that she is no longer in pain and struggling. I am glad that you both had a chance to hold her without the tubes and wires.

Footprints

One night I had a dream--
I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord and across the sky flashed scenes from my life.
For each scene I noticed two sets of footprints,
one belonged to me and the other to the Lord.
When the last scene of my life flashed before me,
I looked back at the footprints in the sand.
I noticed that many times along the path of my life,
there was only one set of footprints.
I also noticed that it happened at the very lowest
and saddest times in my life.
This really bothered me and I questioned the Lord about it.
"Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you,
you would walk with me all the way,
but I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life
there is only one set of footprints.
"I don't understand why in times when I needed you most,
you should leave me."
The Lord replied, "My precious, precious child,
I love you and I would never, never leave you
during your times of trial and suffering.
"When you saw only one set of footprints,
it was then that I carried you."


I know you are very aware of this beautiful poem. Each time I have read about Kayleigh I have thought of this.

I have wanted to post it for some time - it seems more appropriate than ever right now.

Please know that we are continuing to pray for you and your family. Despite the pain and sadness you are all feeling - how wonderful it is to know that Kayleigh is finally in the arms of the Lord!

Praying,

Michelle

Wendy Glosser said...

In the next few weeks, you are going to be told a lot of cliches, none which are true. But people will mean well and will want to do anything to take away your pain. No, time does not heal all wounds. You will always miss her. You will always love her. And you will never be the same because of her. What is not a cliche and is true is the Truth...every word in the Word to bring you comfort. Crawl up into our Abba Father's lap and just let Him hold you through this painful time. We prayed for His will to be done and I take comfort in that for you. I had only started praying for her a few weeks ago and you have already become such a blessing. Crying isnt wrong or a sign of weakness, crying means you loved and have lost. The Lord created those tears but He also created arms to hug and to hold and to comfort one another. Trust Him for ALL His promises through this valley. Still praying.

I can't imagine the pain you both must be going through. The tears are rolling down my cheeks. You both are wonderful parents and Kayleigh is so blessed to have you both.

I'm so so sorry for the loss of sweet Kayleigh. I can't stop crying for her; for you. I know she is whole and without pain now. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for sharing her precious and miraculous life with me. I will always treasure her. She has touched my heart in so many ways.

I am so sorry, Kayleigh fought the good fight, she also wanted to come home with you. She knew you all loved her, children know this and feel it. Have comfort in knowing Kayleigh has no more pain and suffering, the Lord has made her whole and there is rejoicing in Heaven today, welcoming your sweet baby girl. I am praying for you and your loved ones, there is comfort in the Lords words, he will also lay his hands on you in your time of sorrow, stay the path and you will one day hold your baby girl in your arms. There is comfort in knowing that you have other children and they will be a comfort also. God bless you all.

Staci said...

Adam and Aimee,
I am crying for you as I type this. I am so sorry for the loss of your sweet Kayleigh. I was praying, as many others were that she would be given another miracle. Then when I read your post, I realized she was, just not here on earth. Her miracle is that she is now being held in God's arms and she is completely healed and free from all the pain and troubles she had here on earth. She is a beautiful precious child of God and has done so much in her short life to bring others closer to Him. You were both so lucky to have been chosen to be her parents and your determination to get her story out there to help others was a blessing. Thank you so much for sharing your story, Kayleigh's story. I will be thinking of you and praying for God's peace and love to surround you all and for you to always feel God's and Kayleigh's presence with you.

My prayer today is one of thanksgiving and assurance that God is holding you all in His hands right now. Although I don't know you, our bonds through Jesus make me feel like I do. I have followed your journey these last few weeks as I have recovered from cancer treatments. A song that has been especially meaningful to me is 'Gratitude' by Nichole Nordeman (Found on You Tube) . We are grateful for the lessons on leaning on The Lord for His perfect wisdom despite our desires which you have taught us through Kayleigh's life struggle. Thank you for that! God Bless your family as you grieve your loss. We grieve with you.

May god welcome her with open arms into His Kingdom. May your family peace and celebrate the miracle life that Kayleigh lived.

Sending you love and continued prayers.

Words cannot express what I am feeling / thinking right now. I have been following Kayleigh's journey for these past months, and never in a million years did I think that one amazing little girl, whom I've never met, could change my life for the better. As soon as I saw the blog title posted on twitter, I knew. I couldn't sleep last night, knowing in my heart that Kayleigh's last day here on this earth was coming. She is in a better place right now. No more vents, IVs - no more pain. In my locker at work in the NICU, I keep a few pictures of some of my former primary babies. Tomorrow, a picture of Kayleigh will join them. She will forever be in my heart, my thoughts, and my prayers. If I lived any closer, I would be there this weekend to celebrate her life with you.

I don't know what else to say...

Tears flow as I read through your beautiful post of your beloved dauther. My heart aches for your loss, yet rejoices as pituring Kayleigh cradled in Jesus' arms just melts and comforts my aching heart. What a true blessing and miracle she is and always will be...She didnt die because she was weak or broken, but because God had a short shorybook for her to live, and how she lived it out was so unbelieveable and touching, I just wish it didnt have to go the way it did. Some things are so hard to understand or comprehend, but we certainly do serve a Almighty God who doesnt make mistakes and loves us so much. We know saying goodbye to a beloved daughter has to just rip your soul apart... oh, how my heart longs to hug you both. You are a beautiful couple, and your marriage is a beautiful thing to witness. Kayleigh will always be thought of and remembered when people see one of you.
You both did such a beautiful job of raising your daughter, and Im sorry you never got to bring her home. May God comfort your aching hearts and breath sweet peace to your souls and give you the grace to get through each day until the day you will have your daughter back in your arms. Until then, we will be praying...remembering..and always loving you guys!
Rest in Peace sweet Kayleigh, cuddle Jesus arms.
Adam and Aimee, we are prayign for you...and thank you from the very bottom of our hearts for sharing your 1 pound miracle with us. What a precious gift you shared with us and one we will always keep... in our hearts, forever!

A Light For Her
by Unknown

Pain and suffering is to its end in this child's life
We shall not weep for this child, for she is now in a place of beauty
Where there is no war, no hate, and no death
Eternal life is to be brought forth through God by a soft glowing flame:
Strong enough to hold all his children
Containing a prayer that which all prayers are made,
A life, that which all lives are created.
You can't see this flame, yet you always know it is there.
You can't touch this flame, yet you can always feel its presence
This child has now seen God, and God has a need for her.
So, you see, this child did not die, she is reborn.

I am so sorry for your lost. We checked your page daily for updates. You all are in our thoughts and prayers today and in the coming weeks and months.

Till then, and as always she will be your angel watching over you.

Wendy, what beautifully honest words. So true.
Adam and Aimee have not "lost" Kayleigh. They've gained an incredibly adorable angel. They've gained a sense of understanding that God is God. They've gained respect for each other as parents. They've gained appreciation for prayer. They've gained love and devotion from complete strangers. They've gained unlimited blessings in the form of baby smiles and touches. They've GAINED. And we have, too.
Adam, Aimee, Allyson, and Brandon...my heart hurts a mere fraction of yours I'm sure, but it's breaking nonetheless. May we, as your 'followers'/prayer warriors/brothers and sisters in Christ, not forget YOU. You will need prayers, too, and may we continue to lift YOU up daily.
I am so glad that I have a guardian angel to watch over my kids. I can't be happier that it's Kayleigh.

I was really hoping this day never came! I can't seem to stop crying and aching for your family. YOu have such strength and amazing hearts. I wish I were half as strong. I know you are at peace knowing that Kayleigh is with her Heavenly Father. She is made new looking down at a VERY amazing family. God be with you and comfort you in this time. Prayers are still coming your way!

Love,
Gemma in Maryland

I am a better person for following Katleigh's story. The faith shown by your family during these trying times amazes me. May God bless each of you today and every day that follows.

I cry. Actually, I weep. Our family is lifting yours up in prayer right now. We have been praying for y'all. We have been lifting you up to the Father. You are a strong couple, and this trial has shown us that.
I have never experienced a death like this, but I KNOW the joy of salvation in Christ and I KNOW y'all have such a wonderful reunion day to look forward too!!!!

God Bless You,
Jennifer in Louisiana

I don't know you personally and yet we are connected through Christ. I've followed Kayleigh's story for quite some time, constantly amazed at her spirit and determination. My heart broke when I read your news this morning. I have not walked in your shoes and to say I understand your pain would not be true. I can only say that I will pray for you and your family.
Peace,
Karen in TX
