At 10:05 this morning our precious girl slipped from earth to eternity. Oh how our hearts are broken. There are no words for the hurt. The void. Yet even now, at our darkest, our God is good.
God granted Kayleigh perfect, beautiful peace. She was not in pain. She was wrapped tightly in my arms with her Daddy by her side as she gently drew her last breath. God was so good to spare us from watching her struggle. And is she is in heaven. Dancing. Twirling. Laughing. Beautiful. Whole. Healthy.
I don’t know how we are going to continue on, I just know that we will. That God is going to continue to meet us where we are. He’s going to continue to carry our burden. And for now, I am going to continue to write. I don’t know what else to do. But not tonight. This will be you update from me today.
Psalm 34:18
18 The Lord is close to the brokenhearted; he rescues those whose spirits are crushed.
Until tomorrow,
‘Carrow 💜
Isaiah 26:3
You will keep in perfect peace
those whose minds are steadfast,
because they trust in you.
A Parting Blessing is a choral piece my husband wrote. The last line seems appropriate right now.
And until we meet again may God hold you in the palm of His hand.
JOHN 14:2 IN MY FATHER’S HOUSE ARE MANY MANSIONS…I GO TO PREPARE A PLACE FOR YOU.
GOD BLESS YOU & KEEP YOU
Carrow,
You have been such an inspiration to me. I am so sorry for you and your family in the loss of Kayleigh. You are such a strong family and I continue to pray for you. I have compiled all the Bible verses you used each day in your post to have and read over and over. You, Carrow have been amazing thru all of this and I have been so touched by your strength and love as a Mother caring for your child. May God bless you and take care of you now and forever. You have touched me in a way that you will never know.
Love to all
Djoiner
Hi there,
A Facebook friend of mine follows Prayers for Kayleigh and I saw the post announcing that your sweet little one went to be with the Lord. I’m so very sorry for your loss.
About 14 years ago, an acquaintance wrote this song and it came to mind as I read about your dear daughter.

I know you only had me
For just a little while
You all took such good care of me
You had to go the extra mile
But today is so much different
You know how I was blind?
Now I can see!
So if you don’t mind me asking
Can I stay for eternity?
You see I’m kicking up gold dust
Playing like it was sand,
Mama don’t be frightened,
I’m holding Jesus hand.
We’re running to my castle
That He built with his own hand
And I’ll be playing in the gold dust
Waiting on you, and dad.
Jesus loves me,
This I know
Just now,
He told me so.
Oh dear mama,
Please don’t cry
I’m with Him
In Paradise.
As much as I know what you are going through, only God can give you the comfort and peace you so desperately need…and He will!
Just this morning my prayer was…”Heavenly Father if you want Kayleigh home, please come swiftly” I prayed this prayer for my boy too…I did not want his suffering prolonged…and I thanked God that He had taken my son to Glory and I thank Him now that He has taken Kayleigh.
For a long time you will have an ache in your heart…probably untill you get to heaven too, but I sense…like me…you are experiencing that peace that passes all understanding. And that peace changes everything! May the God of all comfort give you all a deep reassurance in your heart that He is taking care of you!
