Serious Life Magazine - Featuring Mckmama

Is this not a beautiful photo of Jennifer...(aka Mckmama) and her precious peanut??? I am so happy to read this edition of Serious Life Magazine! I am a rookie when it comes to taking photos and I feel like a professional after reading these tips and tricks in this months edition.

Before, I would take a hundred photos a day when we went to visit Kayleigh in the hospital just praying that one would be the perfect shot. After reading this edition, I can save a lot more battery by taking tons of perfect shots in half the time.

Honestly, there are some things I could never figure out with my camera that make perfect sense to me now! It is so worth reading the article.

Go check it out and prepare to take some awesome photos of your family this Christmas season!!!

Missing you Sweet Girl!

I remember last Christmas like it was yesterday. I remember the heroic turn of events that allowed the doctors to figure out pneumonia was trying to take Kayleigh from us. I remember Christmas being an exciting day, not like most would normally celebrate it, but that we were lucky to celebrate the Lord's birthday in the small confinements of the NICU bedside.

It was quiet, more than usual, as nurses covered extra so other nurses could be at home with their family's. You felt an extra sense of emotions even though it was emotional enough just being there to begin with. It was a sense of pride for the nurses who stayed and worked the evening hours on Christmas Eve in to the morning hours of Christmas Day. Nurses have that caring, protecting, selfless personality that allows them to be so wonderful at their jobs. It is so much more when you see those nurses care not only for the children, but sacrifice their time for others they work with.

I remember seeing the stuffed animal hanging from the connection poles which were given to all the children for Christmas. Unfortunately all the bells in the NICU were not ringing to a lovely Christmas tune. Waldo seemed to be the joke of the day as Kayleigh wore her red and white beanie. The image of her lying face down with that beanie on is an image I will never forget.

Christmas is a time to give, a time to celebrate the Lord for all that He did for us and like all birthdays, to celebrate life. I know that Kayleigh had an amazing Christmas in Heaven and I am sure she had the opportunity to make snow angels in her first White Christmas. I just wish I could have experienced that with her here and so many other things I will have to wait to share.

Mommy and I miss you so much sweet Angel! We love you with all our hearts.

Merry Christmas Kayleigh!

God Bless,

You all know my good friend, Brent Riggs. Please read his post below and visit his blog for updates (www.riggsfamilyblog.com)

EMERGENCY!!! Please pray...

Dear Christian family,

Wow… if all the stuff about Abby wasn’t enough…

We just got a phone call from a hospital. Our 17 year old, Garrett, Michelle’s brother Mike, and her sister Micalah were in a serious car accident and are all critical

We are dropping the kids off with our friends, and going to the hospital now.

Micalah is here with her Dad (Michelle’s father) visiting for Christmas from San Antonio. He is VERY shaken and is fresh in the middle of a cancer battle himself.

We covet your prayers….

Brent & Michelle...

One Long Hour - One Great Talk

To contact us Click HERE
I came in to work today knowing that I had a busy day and I dreaded the fact that I couldn't sleep well at all last night, but the Lord had better things planned for me. He wanted me to take a day and think about Kayleigh.
Besides training Bo first thing early this morning, my first fitness assessment today was with Andrea (On-dray-uh). Yes, I got it wrong two times but because of humility, I won't pronounce it wrong again. LOL. Andrea is a new member and all new members get a free fitness assessment. When I first start the appointment, I typically ask people a little bit about their fitness history and that is when the whole conversation turned to Noah and Kayleigh.
Out of all the people God wanted to put in my life today, it was the perfect person because we both were just so busy, stressed and full of anxiety that we just needed that time to talk about our children and take our minds off of exercise and work for once.
It was crazy how it all started out because within the first couple minutes, she mentions that when she was pregnant, she had high blood pressure and had to deliver Noah early, I just knew that this was not going to be an hour filled with goal talking. But beyond mentioning preeclampsia, she mentions that she had a Molar Pregnancy and my jaw hit the floor.
Little Noah went to Heaven during the pregnancy term and that was due to this Molar pregnancy. If you have never heard of this type of pregnancy, you must educate yourself because it is not that common for those to have a Molar pregnancy and actually have a little peanut develop in the egg. Normally the egg is empty.
When one of our maternal fetal medicine doctors came up with the research and thought Kayleigh's situation could be a Molar pregnancy, we did our own research to see how many mothers delivered their children from this tragic condition and we came up with three cases. However, one passed away shortly after birth, another lived quite a few years before passing away and the last was not conclusive. I am not really positive of any other cases, but I am sure they are out there somewhere.
Out of every person I speak to about their child who went to Heaven, some say they know exactly what we are going through even when the experiences are completely different, but some with also make a point to say their situation is not the same and they have no idea. I honestly think that everyone's feelings are the same, even though I would "think" to say that people have no idea what we are going through...but actually they do.
Whether or not a child went to Heaven before delivery, after delivery, squeezed your finger, cooed for the first time, spoke their first words, walked them to their very first classroom or walked them down the isle, having a child who's so precious and dear to our hearts go to Heaven before we do is painfully sad and leaves a missing part of your heart that will never be replaced. Everyone feels that same loss, just not everyone has the same memories. Even though I may not know what people are feeling, I do know exactly how they feel and thankfully with God's grace, we can only rely on Him to heal that pain.
So we sat and shared our stories and talked quite a bit. I showed her the blog and we actually watched Kayleigh's three videos that a special friend created for Kayleigh's memorial and the blog. It was time spent well, but the funny thing is, I had to schedule her for another session soon to redo the assessment we initially set out to do.
Not to mention that I told Andrea that I have not posted in a while and someone answered that prayer real quick by cancelling my next two assessments which opened up the following two hours. So...here I am :)
Thank you Andrea tons for the talk and please know there are millions out there who are here for you too.
Please keep Andrea's husband in your prayers as he is in the military and will be deployed next month.
Thanks and God Bless!

Your Amazing!!

Imagine you are walking by yourself through the fields of a horse pasture that is over 200 acres in size. It is a cool and breezy day, but spring is in the air and the warm weather is peaking through just around the corner. You find yourself in a peaceful state as you soak in all the beauty around you. As you climb and descend the rolling hills of the Fredon, NJ country side, your attention is distracted by a ribbon that is gracefully blowing in the wind. As you change course and approach this dancing ribbon, you notice half of it is buried deep in the muddy terrain. Grasping tightly, but gently pulling it out of the undisturbed earth only to find a beautifully handwritten note attached to the other end.

On May 11, 2009, Kayleigh Anne Freeman went home to Heaven and nearly a year has gone by since balloons, with beautifully written notes were set free on May 17th, 2009 to roam this world in hopes to touch more lives the same way Kayleigh had touched all of ours.


I received an email early this evening from Kathy whose life was touched by Kayleigh as she walked through this beautiful pasture today and pulled a buried "You've Been Touched by Kayleigh" note out of the mud. It showed signs of wear and tear as Kathy described this firmly attached note to the end of this ribbon, which was once carried to its destination by a beautiful pink balloon. I nearly broke in to tears when this email came through. I was enjoying my gracious invite for dinner over at Andy's (The American Hero) house for dinner and a little Guitar Hero with his wife, sister and children. I happily shared this blessing of a story with them as goose bumps covered my whole body. I was so excited and anxious to come home and share such awesome news with you all.

"Kayleigh, you continue to amaze us everyday with your strength and love. There is not a day that goes by where I am not reminded of the love you shared with all of us. I am forever changed by your miraculous journey. Just when I think I have been amazed beyond all measure, you prove once and again why, "Your Amazing" by Janelle is the song that describes you perfectly. I am comforted daily by your photos, your first teeny weeny outfit, your stuffed animal puppy (Brittany), and the stories that continue to come in of how you touched and blessed their lives. Every time I'm shown how much of a blessing you have been and will continue to be, I quickly smile and am reminded of how very proud I am of you!

Kayleigh, you will forever live in my heart. By seeing how you have changed this world, without speaking a word, it just amplifies the fact of knowing that your really not that far away. As the warm weather is approaching, I am sure we will all see your love through the joyful dancing of a beautiful butterfly.

We ALL love you so much sweet Kayleigh"

God Bless,

My Kayleigh Tattoo

Now I have a piece of Kayleigh etched in to my skin forever. I always knew this is what I wanted, but finally found an artist out here in Wilmington (Robbie Kass) who does a really good job compared to the guys I trusted out in Charlotte.
Anyhow, I thought I would share my new piece of artwork with you all. Believe it or not, it only took 25 minutes but it hurt more than the whole 16 hours (2 - 8hr sessions) that is took to do my arm sleeve tattoo. Go figure!
I would love to hear some stories of your artwork. Do you have a tattoo? What is the meaning behind yours?
God Bless,

Celebrating Kayleigh - Balloon Release for May 11th

To contact us Click HERE

I can't believe we are approaching one year since Kayleigh went to Heaven. Time has flown by so fast as it feels just yesterday when we set off those pink balloons in to the air to remember our sweet little Kayleigh.
Thanks to Bo Dean, he has put together a special evening for me at 6:30pm next Tuesday over at O2 Fitness in Mayfaire. He has gathered many of my clients and friends to celebrate Kayleigh's miraculous journey by letting off pink balloons again with notes attached to touch more people.
We would love for all of those who joined in last year to do the same and send in your photos so I can post them for all to see. I still have tons of photos from last year that I would like to have put into a video montage with some songs. I will probably incorporate both years, so if you want to have your photo in the video, email it to me at: AdamFreemanPT@yahoo.com Niecey if your out there and want to help again, I would love your assistance in making this video.
If you live in the Wilmington or surrounding area, please come and join us. The address to O2 Fitness is: 980 Town Centre Drive - Wilmington, NC 28405.
I want to really thank you all for your support and never ending prayers over the past couple years. It has been a blessing to have such a wonderful group of prayer warriors through the ups and downs of this journey. I can't thank you all enough on how much it means to me.
I am forever grateful!
God Bless you all so very much!!!

Negativity or Strength

To contact us Click HERE
Some people have asked me lately how I can be so strong after losing my daughter only a short year ago and after replying to a Facebook message today, it dawned on me as to why that is the case.

I feel like the time that I would spend crying out to the world to comfort my sorrows is wasted time to share God's love, strength and beauty. When you think of God's image, do you see Him crying, complaining, angry or anything negative, or do you see Him as strong, filled with love and filled with all the right words to say to anyone with a question?

Do I miss Kayleigh? YES!!! Do I long to hold her one more time? YES!!! Do I ever cry when I think about her? YES!!! BUT, something I have always kept in the forefront of my mind is a guy that I used to work with back at Frito Lay nearly 14 years ago. Every time I saw him, he had a smile on his face. Everytime I asked him how he was doing, he would say.."I am truly blessed." There was no way this guy could be in a good mood every single day, let alone any single day because I know exactly how I and everyone else felt working the same exact job he was doing.

When I finally got the nerve to ask him why he was always in a good mood. He said because I have Jesus in my life. This was long before I ever became a Christian, but it stuck with me from then on. I always told myself, I wanted to be like that guy because I view him as a strong and happy person. Honestly, no matter what the sad/depressing/angry story is, it only is going to bring someone else sorrow or anger or pain. Not to mention, who really cares if you are in a bad mood when the universal question of asking how someone's day is going is as common as changing your underwear. Well, maybe it is...for some of you. lol

Look at these two differences....How do you think it will affect you if someone continued to cry out all there problems to the world. You may listen for a while, but then it actually wears you out and then before too long, you are ignoring or hiding from that person because all they do is whine. Now...how would you react to someone who knows that only God is the one who can fix their problems or atleast lead them to a specialist who can fix their problems (In which you still don't hear about it). You would see this person as positive, strong, uplifting and maybe you would want to be more like that person because isn't anything negative in this world considered sin??? Fear not and trust the Lord. Isn't that what God tells us.

Now in no way am I perfect at this, but I have learned through experience that you don't have to be perfect at anything...just try your best. I have and always will try to live a life without negativity as it gets you nowhere and it prevents you from doing the great works of God. Now don't get me wrong, I am not saying Kayleigh is a negative one tiny bit...but I am not going to let my selfishness of wanting her back in my life so bad that it ruins my day or causes me to harm my body or others through depression when I could be touching other lives with God's word. A day wasted crying over the fact that she is no longer here is a day wasted to lift another soul up to see the great things our Lord is made of. What if someone watching you, reading your words, or seeing your actions was on the fence of giving their life to Christ. Am I going to be a drama queen and show that person any kind of weakness when I need to be acting in the image of our Lord? NEGATIVE GHOST RIDER!!!! (For all you Top Gun fans)

I keep in mind that the life we live on earth is but a grain of sand compared to the life we will have in eternity. Waiting 60 more years (hopefully) to save so many more lives here on earth seems like there is actually not a lot of time left, but eternity allows me to spend every waking moment for the rest of my life with Kayleigh and my family who has gone before me. I can wait as it will just make the homecoming filled with much more anticipation than it already is....and when I get to Heaven, then I will let the tears "of joy" flow.

Last but not least...Kayleigh touched more lives with God's word without speaking a single word of her own. Aimee and I may have written this blog, but without Kayleigh's strong heart and determination, you wouldn't have been touched by her story. I give Kayleigh all the credit, but then it tells me I have a voice of my own and I have ways to reach others, so what am I going to do that amounts to the blessing my daughter did for so many others? You might say it's not a competition, but if God made me an athlete and a competitor, then Kayleigh certainly set the bar high for me to achieve such an ounce of a blessing she has been to others.

So, my first step has been to release things that hold me back from being the best Christian that God created me to be. Negativity was certainly one of them and I hope it is for you too because this is about Kayleigh...and nothing else.

"Kayleigh, I am so proud of you for the life you lived and the lives you touched. You have given me a newfound strength and I am beyond blessed that God gave you to me. I know times are tough down here, but just know that I love you so much and I will not allow any negativity change the way I share your beautiful story. You are a gift to all of us and it is all about you on this blog. Because of you, we have been able to touch more and more people's lives. Your story has helped me be more selfless and change people's lives through fitness and Mommy has been able to touch people's lives through her blog and on Facebook. We will never let your story subside sweetheart as your strength and determination will touch more and more lives until the day that I see you in Heaven. But even then, I know there will be others who will carry on your story. You are just that special my sweet butterfly. We ALL love you so much!"

God Bless,

When times are great, friends are there to rejoice with you. When times are tough, friends are there to help you get through it. When you have great friends in your life, it makes hours, days, weeks, months and years become fulfilled with great memories.

I remember when Kayleigh came in to this world and all of you, friends, would rejoice in the miracle that Kayleigh survived what the doctors felt was impossible. I remember when Kayleigh was sick, friends put their hands together and prayed for another miracle. I remember when Kayleigh went to Heaven, friends reached their arms out for comfort. I also remember when friends helped lift a financial burden when this crazy world came crashing down on us.

One friend in particular who put his words on the line to help start a chain reaction to bring friends and family to send donations, is now in need of a financial assistance. However, Brent Riggs may have been the one to lend a helping hand to me as a friend, but it is Abby who is requesting this financial wish.

I have come to know the Riggs family very well and they are the most amazing family I have ever met. It is a blessing what Brent does everyday to witness to the world and what he has done to be such a strong leader for his family of 7 while caring for his little girl who was stricken with cancer. It is Abby who wishes to gain this financial blessing as they are all raising money for another adopted brother or sister. After seeing how amazing this family has been to me, to others and to their children, they are so deserving of this blessing.

So, I am going to give what little I have in order to start the same chain reaction blessing that the Riggs Family has done for others.

Brent...here is a $100! May you be blessed with what you need to bring home another beautiful child who will be even more blessed to be called a "Riggs"

Everyone who wants to help donate, please click here: Abby's Wish

God Bless My Friend!!!

Gratitude Rock

To contact us Click HERE

I was in a deep conversation yesterday with a close friend and we were chatting about both of our daughter's situations and it brought me back to the post that I wrote the other day about being positive and not allowing the negatives in life hold you back to doing what is good in this world.
After sharing this information with him, I could see his attitude completely turn around. He had been dwelling on the negatives of his situation and not focusing on what blessings he should be grateful for having. I told him that I found a rock that sits in my Jeep that whenever I look at it, it reminds me to thank God for all the amazing things that I am grateful for. My rock allows me to start my day off on a good note instead of waking up and dreading all the negative issues at hand.
I am not really thinking of much when I first get up and go through my normal routine of taking vitamins, eating breakfast, getting dressed and getting in my Jeep to head to work. It is funny how that works as we have trained our minds to do a simple day in day out routine. However, as soon as the car door shuts, the thoughts of life start and I am sure it does for most of you as you head off on your normal work day. But, now that I have my rock in my cup holder, I pick it up and start thanking God for all that I am grateful for. If a negative thought comes in to my mind, I quickly shut it out with more positive thoughts by saying, "Thank you for... Thank you for... Thank you for...." Blaring some uplifting music also puts on a smile. There is no better way to start off the day with some uplifting music and shouting to the Lord what your grateful for. Everything is positive on my way to work and it has completely changed my days around so much. Normally, we all dwell on the one thing that we want to change in our lives and it causes us to be in a bad mood. That one thing causes so much pain, that we can't get it out of our minds. Even if we have to face the negative issue at hand, it doesn't have to control our attitudes or get in the way of helping others by being positive.
So, look at it this way...If there is one issue causing you pain, there must be a million other things in your life that don't, so smile and be thankful for those things and your new attitude it will completely change your mood and your life.
God Bless,
Adam

Kayleigh's Birthday

To contact us Click HERE

I am so excited because next weekend, my Mom and Dad will be venturing out to Wilmington to spend the weekend with me and all my great friends. It will be their first time coming out here and we have some exciting events planned.
A good handful of us are all gonna go out to eat at a beautiful restaurant downtown on the waterway to enjoy the beautiful sunset and then dive in to a delicous "Healthy" home made cake made with love by my mom to celebrate Kayleigh's birthday. It is going to be wonderful and I am so looking forward to having my friends and family there with me.
Other events for the weekend are not yet set in stone, but here are some of the options we may be doing: Airlie Gardens, Battleship North Carolina, Fort Fisher Aquarium, Exercising at O2 Fitness, Walking the Loop and the beach in Wrightsville Beach, and other exciting times. We only have the weekend, so we will have to pick the best of the best this time around.
It will be a great weekend to celebrate Kayleigh's birthday with those who are close to my heart. I couldn't ask for better friends who have supported me through everything and are there on a daily basis to put a smile on my face and remind me how truly blessed I am. Kayleigh has touched so many hearts and is the reason for so many blessings in my life. If it weren't for Kayleigh and the awesome people she brought in to my life, I wouldn't be as incredibly happy where I am in my life. She is such an amazing girl who continues to do wonderful things for so many on a daily basis.
Thanks to all and God Bless!
Adam

Shout it to the World!!!

First of all, thank you all so much for all the Happy Father's Day wishes. It was a tough day, but thanks to my good friend Joseph for getting me out of the house. We took a long bike ride down to the south end of the beach, back up around the loop in Wrightsville Beach, and then some. I would say all together, we traveled a good 15-20 miles and I was certainly in a much better state of mind when I was done. Exercise certainly uplifts your soul.

As you all know Wednesday June 23rd is Kayleigh's birthday and what I feel would be a good gift for Kayleigh up in Heaven is that every single one of you share her story with someone you know, don't know or needs to know so that they too can be touched by an Angel.
One thing that I know for sure, and I am sure Aimee would agree with me, is that we will never stop sharing Kayleigh's story with the world. We will continue to carry on her legacy and touch as many lives as we possibly can. She was and continues to be such an inspiration to so many people. Emails come in daily of people who came across her story and their lives have been touched by Kayleigh. Just a month ago, an email came in from an amazing guy in Afghanistan who was sending his prayers. Praise God and thanks to Kayleigh for such an amazing and heartfelt surprise like that.
I recently had the pleasure of speaking in our Rotary Club last week and sharing Kayleigh's story to everyone and even though I fear speaking in front of groups of people, I miss sharing her story like that whether it be a March of Dimes event, on the radio or on national television. After I start talking, my fears disappear and my heart just pours out. It is emotionally draining, not because I talk about her no longer physically being with us on earth, but because every single spectator's eyes are filled with tears and I know they will be forever changed.
Share her story for me, for Aimee and especially for Kayleigh. I told Aimee what I am doing and we plan to do this cool thing and you all can follow suit as well. I plan to post a big Happy Birthday Kayleigh several times a day (with her link attached) on Facebook, Twitter and all the blogs for every single person that we know to see Happy Birthday Kayleigh posted EVERYWHERE. Everyone is going to be curious who this Kayleigh is and with God's work, they will find out. You were a witness to her miracles and blessings for a reason. Your lives have been blessed for knowing her and following her journey. So, SHOUT IT to the world and help bless someone else's life too.
Thank you very very much and God Bless!

"Happy Birthday Kayleigh"

In this world we live in, experiencing the birth of a child is beyond any emotional understanding. We crave the excitement and milestones that are set from each passing day for nearly ten months until that child graces our presence away from the womb. Envisioning a perfect world with a perfect pregnancy is what many people live for, sharing their love and building a life that will once touch the lives of others. No one is ever prepared for trouble, no one is ever prepared for fear and no one is ever prepared for what God's plan is. We are prepared only to take what God has given to us and make it better through faith, hope and love.

In December 2007, Aimee and Adam Freeman brought a souvenir home from Disney World. Her name was to be Kayleigh Anne Freeman and little did the Freemans know, this precious girl was going to touch the world. Several months in to their pregnancy, a routine check up at CMC's Maternal Fetal Medicine downtown, was given to determine the sex of their baby, but only grim news was given that their precious little one was not going to survive much longer.
Fear of losing Kayleigh was at the tip of everyone's mind. There was zero expectancy of survival as Kayleigh had too long to go and too much to grow before she could grace our presence in this world. The Freemans bought a fetal doppler so they could listen to the heart beat morning, day and night. They wanted to know when her heart had taken it's last beat. Days turned into weeks and into months as Kayleigh kept fighting. Every doctors visit was exciting because they made it to another milestone, but left saddened as the unfortunate diagnosis of severe IUGR (Intrauterine Growth Restriction) determined Kayleigh's growth was still falling behind.

Ten weeks later, Aimee was stricken with severe preeclampsia and was rushed to the CMC-Main in Charlotte, NC. Fear of losing Aimee, Kayleigh or both was torture to the family, but keeping faith through it all was strengthening their hearts. Time was not on their side as they feared Kayleigh would not reach a viable weight to live outside the womb. She would have had to grow over 150 grams in the past two weeks to reach that viable weight and she had only grown 300 grams in the past 28 weeks. Kayleigh's survival was looking very doubtful at this point in time because only God could bless Kayleigh with that kind of growth. And you know what? He certainly did. The test showed that Kayleigh had grown an unbelievable 170 grams since the last measurement two weeks prior.

That early morning on June 23rd 2008, Aimee's symptoms began to worsen and at 3:00 AM, she was rushed in to the delivery room where this one pound miracle from God was delivered. Kayleigh weighed an astonishing one pound, one ounce and was only ten and a half inches long. After five of the longest minutes, the neonatal team was able to insert a breathing tube into Kayleigh's lungs to allow her to breath. She was quickly rushed up to the NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit) where she would continue to fight the battle to survive for the next ten months.

Kayleigh's fight would soon be heard across the world through the internet, on major news stations and the television daytime show, "The Doctors." Families across the globe would stand fast and pray for this beautiful little girl who faced battle after battle, and would continue to defy the odds of survival to show that anything is possible. Kayleigh faced seven major surgeries and was one of the smallest children to ever undergo open heart surgery at three pounds. Her surgeries included ROP eye surgery, bowel exploratory surgery, open heart surgery for VSD repair, tracheotomy, bilateral hernia repair, nissen fundoplication, and PEG placement.
As Kayleigh endured her final surgery that would soon bring her home to the beautiful pink and brown room her parents prepared for her, she lost functioning of her brain and her health deteriorated soon after causing her to go to Heaven on May 11th, 2009.

Kayleigh will never be forgotten at CMC or in the hearts of all of those who followed her miraculous journey. She was given a purpose to touch many lives through faith, hope and love. Kayleigh's parents are blessed that God gave them ten months with Kayleigh and they know this will not be goodbye forever.
Kayleigh is made new and is healthy in Heaven, waiting for her parents to hold her, kiss her and rejoice in the wonderful life they shared together. Time on earth is but a grain of sand on the largest beach compared to the time the Freemans will spend eternity with Kayleigh in Heaven. All of Kayleigh's family, doctors, nurses and prayer warriors are beyond proud of their one pound miracle and they all pray your life will be touched by her amazing journey.
You can view "Kayleigh's Story" right here on this blog and follow the ups and downs of her miraculous journey and how her strength touched the world. On the right tool bar is the "Archives" and you can follow it all the way back from the beginning. All we ask is that you grab some tissues and get ready to be touched by this "One Pound Blessing from God" To see 15+ of the most precious Kayleigh photos, click on the link at the top of the page, "Kayleigh's Videos" and enjoy in the beauty of an Angel.

Sweet Corol Saeger

Say a prayer for the Saeger family. Their little Corol (from Florida) was born a month after Kayleigh. As Corol fought her own battles in the NICU, the family looked to Kayleigh's journey for inspiration and once Corol was a little older, she would enjoy listening and dancing to Kayleigh's music the her blog.
Unfortunately, this past week as the family took their first vacation together in NC, not to far from me here in Wilmington, they were in a severe car accident and sweet little Corol (2 yrs old) didn't survive.
Jade (Corol's mom) and I spoke on the phone this morning and I just felt the need to share it with you all on FB and to tell you all to take a moment and stop what your doing, just long enough to give thanks to everything and everyone you have in your life. You never know when you will be faced with such tragedy, so never let a day pass without showing the people who are close to you how much you love them.
God bless the Saeger family and all the other families out there who have lost someone dear to their heart. Life is very short when you lose someone you love and life is too long while you miss them and have to wait to see them again. ~Adam Freeman

Heart Ball 2011 - American Heart Association

To contact us Click HERE

Hello Everyone! Long time no talk! Tonight was a night where Kayleigh was lifted up and her legacy continues to touch lives throughout this world we live in.

It was a blessing to be able to share her amazing journey with many people throughout the Wilmington area. Tonight was the American Heart Association's Heart Ball event. It is by far one of the largest and most prestigious events here in Wilmington, NC.

I was honored to be the guest speaker tonight at the Heart Ball and even though I was more nervous than ever, here is the speech I gave along with the YouTube link of my speech.

"Good Evening Everyone

Some of you may know me as the guy with the wild tattoo up his arm who changed Bo Dean’s life by helping him lose over 110lbs this past year.

But what most of you may not know is that just before Bo and I started our journey, there was someone who helped change my life.

My Daughter, Kayleigh Anne Freeman

The very first time I heard Kayleigh’s heart beat, it filled my heart with so much love. But, when the doctors told us she would not survive the pregnancy, it broke my heart in to pieces.

Kayleigh didn’t stop fighting though. For ten-long-weeks…every morning, afternoon and night…I would listened to her heart beat through a fetal Doppler, praying it would NOT be the last time I’d ever here it again.

Three months shy of her due date, on June 23, 2008…Kayleigh was delivered through emergency c-section. At 10.5 inches long, she only weighed 1 pound and 1 oz.

She continued to fight for her life, overcoming the impossible.

She underwent 7 major surgeries over a ten 1/2 month period, with one of those procedures landing her as one of the smallest children to ever undergo…open heart surgery…at only 3 pounds.

During Kayleigh’s final surgery…which was to insert a feeding tube so she could finally come home…Kayleigh’s little heart…had enough.

I fell in love the first time I heard that precious heart beat…and my heart broke into pieces when I sat by her side and listened to it beat…one last time.

On May 11^th, 2009, Kayleigh went to Heaven.

At the beginning of her journey, a blog was created to share updates with family and friends, but her story ended up touching hundreds and thousands of people all across the world through the radio, national news and on the daytime show - The Dr’s.

Kayleigh’s story strengthened families through faith, hope and love. Her precious heart gave to more people in 10 ½ months than most people give in a lifetime.

If you’ve ever read the story about the dash, it is not about how a life begins or how a life ends, but how you lived your life in between.

So…I want to THANK every-single-one of you for EVERY donation you’ve given to the American Heart Association….because without the research and the technology of today, I would not have been able to spend an amazing 10 ½ months with my sweet daughter.

Please continue to give…and to help…and to support this wonderful organization.

Thank you from the bottom of my Heart!"

A Weekend Never to Forget

To contact us Click HERE

Yesterday was a day that I will never forget. I had the opportunity to share Kayleigh with one of my best friends who never got to physically meet Kayleigh, never got to physically hold Kayleigh, but has now truly gotten the chance to feel Kayleigh in his heart more than he ever has before.

Bo Dean is just one phenomenal guy who took the time to travel to Charlotte with me to walk in the March of Dimes walk with my family and then visit some of the Dr's and Nurses who took special care of Kayleigh at the hospital. He was able to see first hand the lives that Kayleigh had and continues to touch.

As I read his post this morning, I couldn't recreate in words what a special day yesterday was any better than the amazing words expressed from his heart. I have re-posted below what Bo had written, but you can visit his blog here:www.BoWilmington.blogspot.com

Here is what Bo had written:

If you have been reading this blog you know the story of Adam's gift to me and through his meeting Ashley and Kristi and how their love conspired to change my life and how all of us pray to pay it forward each and everyday. However, the root of Adam's inspiration to give, as you might recall, was the life of his and his former wife's child, Kayleigh Anne Freeman.

Adam and Aimee are the parents of a 1 pound miracle birth who overcame all odds to enter into this world. Kayleigh was, from all reports, recollections and stories, a force of nature...defying amazing odds and breathing into that tiny body a soul that, while not with us in body, is still very present to this day. Since Adam became my trainer, then my friend, I heard and listened to stories and I read the blog about Kayleigh. I understood that what had so changed Adam as a person, what had changed his priorities, set him on the path that he now walks, created the desire to give the gift of life that he gave to me; all of that was from Kayleigh's life.

However, the connection became more real today as we traveled to Charlotte to walk in the March of Dimes walk and then go to visit a place that I am still processing as I write. here is a link to the video we did from the walk: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nePD8sAsZGs




Here are some photos from the walk and from Frazier Park where a brick was donated by Kayleigh's nurses in her honor.







The walk was great, but I want to talk about the visit that Adam took me to the Hospital where Kayleigh was born. When we got to the Levine Children's Hospital, I was not sure what to expect. It was breathtaking. Thousands of crystals strung from stories high in front of colored panels bringing in light and love from the moment we entered. There was a sense of peace and calm as we entered..but it was that light..that warmth...that sense of comfort that comes from feeling secure and 'held' that I now know is what I was feeling entering in that place.


We went to the 7th floor and when we got off the elevator, Adam knew, even with some changes that were going on, exactly what to do and where to go. He had walked this path with Aimee so many times before. We entered the Neonatal intensive care unit and faces lit up as soon as they saw Adam. It was as if those behind the desk saw a family member, someone who made them remember something very familiar and loving. That was the moment that I began seeing love in the room...God...it was so very powerful.

A woman named Marsha walked in. I had been told about her. She had been Kayleigh's primary nurse..and from the moment she stepped in, you could see not a face of someone silly with love and affection, but someone who was possessed of that kind of care and genuine love that is on the face and disposition of those who have seen death up close and personally, but believe in life more than most of us will ever know. She possessd a true gift. She was not alone.


She took us around the units. That is when it began to connect: the reality of what had happened here with the stories and the true miracles at work in this place. When the magnitude that is hitting me right now as I write( of all that I was seeing and saw today) really started to come together.


In the unit there were all these precious pods...in each was life. Some 2 lbs, some 3, some 1.4 lb..some with light warming them, some with respirators so technical a nasa engineer would be hard pressed to understand it. Each pod had a nurse giving nurture, care, and love. Each pod had a handmade quilt covering it so there was something loving and warming....but there were monitors and equipment..and each life..each soul was looking out for someone to help...to sustain. It is so overwhelming that image. And I thought of Adam and Aimee going each and everyday to the that unit with that precious child...and all of that....and the waiting..the procedures...the waiting...it all hit me....and I just swallowed hard trying hard to just be there for Adam as he experienced seeing everyone. I asked how many were there and was told that they could have and usually have 55 babies at a time, but right now they only had 30. I just could not get my head around 30! much less 55....and all those parents, and grandparents..all that prayers

But on the drive back today and then this evening, where I have literally done nothing but try and process the trip, It hit me: While I just could not understand or really even comprehend all those premature births..all that life struggling.....I could get my soul around all that Love.

See, all the stories I have heard about Kayleigh...It has all be about LOVE...Courage..Compassion. All those proceedures...all that waiting....all that nurture...all that time...it brought to focus what is and was important...LOVE! Above all things! LOVE! if for no other reason..those children in that unit bring the world to a stop for a moment...if just for a moment..someone..somebodys...a few souls...and they think about something other than...fill in the blank...and they send out love. For Kayleigh's blog..there were literally 1000's who prayed, sent messages, sent hope. 1000's who still do....and they stop whatever in their lives and think about LOVE...they think about this precious life.

It is so overwhelming. So very powerful!

I know for a fact from today, that i witnessed this love. As we walked through the unit, one of Kayleigh's very special nurses came out to hug Adam. When she saw our shirts, she commented on the ribbon that Mrs. Freeman had placed on each of them. Adam went to tell her that that was the ribbon of hope they had used when Kayleigh was alive. The nurse stopped him and said, "I know"..and as she pulled down her nametag...there on the back of it was one of Kayleigh's ribbons that had been there for the last two years. It had been there and remained there everyday that she worked.


It was also amazing to meet some of the Dr's who took special care of Kayleigh.




This was a short amount of what transpired here, but I hope I have been able to share what a powerful experience it was. Aside from the best husband in the world, I have been blessed with the best friend God could have granted me in Adam. But seeing this today and walking in this experience had brought me closer to the inspiration behind so much of the best of him and so much of now what has given me a new life: Kayleigh. I am eternally grateful to he and Aimee for being such good parents and being so loving to this beautiful child, but for sharing her with the world and letting her light shine so brightly!

I have learned over the last 22 years that it is not the amount of time that one lives that can be so significant, it is the quality of each day you live. This life...this little girl clearly lived each and everyday with courage, love, and conviction and a will that is not known by most of us...and we are all better because of her.

Like I said...Bo is an phenomenal guy and I am so appreciative of our friendship. Thank you Bo for all that you do for me, for our community and for every single life that you touch.

Just like Kayleigh....You're Amazing!

I Love you Brother!
