Sweet Kayleigh...

I recently ran across the blog, Kayleigh's Story, and began following little Kayleigh's progress. Today I heard some terrible news and I wanted to post it so that all of you could keep the Freeman family in your prayers. I am absolutely heartbroken today...

We should give thanks daily for all of the blessings in our lives, even those hidden amongst the thorns.

The following poem has been translated from German and was left in a comment to Kayleigh's parents and I thought it was beautiful and wanted to share it with you...

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 colors
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 !!
