April Rose.... a fake... my heart did not want to believe.....
It has taken me awhile to update my blog. Life has happened as I say, but I do want to address the whole "April Rose" issue. I followed this blog daily. I rejoiced in the positive updates, I cried at the setbacks, they had me all the way until.... the truth came out. The truth hurt. How could someone fake a sick baby? Was it for money? Did they truly have this happen in their life and this was their way of dealing with it now? Anyone who has read my blog has seen how much I wished for this baby to be born alive if even for a few moments. And it saddens me that it was never true. That technically it mimcked someone else's own true story of pain and heartache. I cannot be angry with the person who did this because they seriously need help to overcome whatever made them do this. I do hope that everyone can say a prayers for the true victims in this situation. Not the bloggers who stood steadfas with "B", Beccah, whatever her true name is, but the woman who lost her own child to Trisomy only one year ago. Her name is Raechel and although I do not have the specifics on her site, I have read excerpts of her own heartbreak only a year ago and I can't imagine what she is going through now basically reliving it in a fake scenario of her own heartbreak. So please everyone pray for Raechel to get through this. Pray that Beccah, "B" is delivered from her wrongdoing and is given the strength to overcome whatever brought her to do this. Only two know of why she did, herself and the Lord.

Hoping In Pink For April Rose
As most of you know, I follow some blogs religiously! April Rose happens to be one of them (see link to her page on this page).
Today is April's mommy's due date! 40 weeks... a milestone she didn't think she would make! Well, her friend (Raechel) proposed an idea that anyone that can possibly participate on this day do this for April's mom. Wear something pink, anything pink, because afterall we are "Hoping In Pink" and email it to hopinginpink@gmail.com . She is posting all pictures for April's mommy to look at. She has quite a few so far. And don't worry if you can't wear pink or don't have pink. Take a picture of something pink and the title of the day, "Hoping In Pink". That is what I did.
Dear little April Rose:
I hope you are born screaming your little heart out. Your mommy needs to hear your cries. She has wanted to see your face for so long, hold you in her arms, and love you. May God continue to let you grow (even though you are only a lil' peanut) until it is time for you to be born. You have overcome so many milestones with your mommy already, and people are truly amazed you made it this far. Stay strong, grow stronger, and come out to your mommy and daddy the lil' fighter that you are. They can't wait for you to be here and those who have been praying for you can't wait for you to be here either. You are loved in so many ways! God Bless!!!!

Sometimes I Think I Am Crazy, but I See Something In These Photos
I was looking through the different photos posted on Adam Freeman's Facebook by people all around the country (possibly world, not everyone gave their location) posted of their balloon launch in memory of Kayleigh.
The first one I saw that actually had a description of after the balloon was launched and I took the picture, a cloud resembled an angel. Well, I didn't see the "angel" they were referring to, but I distinctly saw what looked to me like a face. Yes, eyes, nose, and mouth. Judge for yourself:
In the next three, it almost looks as if the balloons are floating into Heaven's light (they are gorgeous photos)
In this photo in particular, it looks as though there are "angel's wings" on the right side of the photo (they are faint in the clouds)
And finally in the last photo, it looks as if there is an angel's silouette in the clouds. if you look under the last three balloons on the right hand side you can see it.
As I said, I may be crazy, but I see something here. I think lil' Kayleigh made her presence known to all who supported her and her family in one form or another. In my case I believe it was the mysterious purple balloon and the "stuck" balloon unsticking itself, flying higher than anyone could imagine, and whisking itself south. The ONLY balloon that went south.
The Lord works in mysterious ways and our loved ones (or those we have prayed for) let us know they are watching in mysterious ways.
Have you ever seen a butterfly and thought of a loved one passed? Have you ever heard a special song and felt the prescence of someone gone to soon? Have you ever felt a cool breeze and the feeling that things would be okay and your "guardian angel" was with you?
All of these things could be a sign that our loved ones (friends or family) are still with us, watching us, protecting us, loving us.
Rest in peace sweet Kayleigh and may God continue to give strength to the Freeman family!

Kayleigh Anne Freeman's Balloon Launch
My girls and I released balloons in memory of Lil' Kayleigh. Before I share the launch, I would like to share two pictures that were on Aimee's page. One is of a letter (or note) that was typed like it was coming from Lil Kayleigh:
And the sweet Lil' Angel who has touched so may lives and filled our hearts with her amazing strength, Kayleigh Anne Freeman:
It was an uneventful Sunday. I bought four, pink latex balloons to let go. We decided to do the launch at my future mother-in-law's home because we had not seen them in a week and they wanted to be involved. We arrived there about 2:30p. I go to get out of the car and my mother-in-law says, "A strange thing occured right before you arrived. I was sitting on the back patio and thought I saw a large purple bird (at this point I am asking her how much wine she had, lol) and I went out the door to the woods and found a single purple balloon floating." She saved it and had it tied to her grill.
The girls immediately wanted the balloon. They took turns playing with it and at one point we had to chase it down to the lake across the street because it "drifted".
I readied the balloons for the launch. I filled out the cards and placed them on the balloon.
I removed the heart which was holding the balloons down. This I am placing my bible to remember Kayleigh.
At this point, I was set. We went out to the road because we thought that there wouldn't be anything the balloons could get caught on. In the yard there were TONS of trees.
A plane flew overhead right as we were about to release the balloons. It was flying SOUTH. Allie (holding tight to the purple balloon that found it's way to mother in laws) blew a kiss to the plane and the first balloon released by her big sister, Kayla.
The first balloon drifted east so quick it was hard to keep track!
The second balloon. my lil' Emma's got caught in the tree!!!!
The third and fourth balloons drifted east also, but not as quick!
By this point Michael (my fiance) is throwing a rock at the tree branch that the other balloon is stuck on. I said to him, "Before you give yourself a concussion, stop throwing rocks". He finally stopped. As we are trying to keep track of the balloons as they disappear into the sky, all of a sudden I hear the girls scream, "Look Mommy! The balloon is UNSTUCK!" And I swear as God is my witness that balloon blew out of that branch WITH NO WIND! It flew straight up and when I say straight up, it was so high I thought it would just pop and drop.
But, it didn't. And for some reason when that balloon got as high as it could go, it blew south. THAT is when the tears started flowing. I said, "Dear Lord, is that lil' Kayleigh taking her balloon and grasping it? Is she now sending it south towards her mommy and daddy?"
And that precise moment, the sun shown through the clouds for the first time ALL DAY!!!!!
After the launch was over and we were walking back to the house, the purple balloon all of a sudden "popped". No warning, nothing. It was in the air, string in Allie's hand one second and POP the next!
Releasing those balloons in Kayleigh's memory will live with me for the rest of my life. I may have never personally met her and her family, but they remain on my mind and in my heart everyday!!! God bless the Freeman's for the strength they show. God bless lil' Kayleigh for her strength and determination her 11 months of life. May whomever finds the cards, pieces of paper, etc. from those balloons log onto her website and read her story. May her strength and life live on forever!!!!
The things that happened today such as the purple balloon showing up and popping on it's own, the plane flying south, the balloon getting stuck going straight up and then south, may ALL be coincidences. Or it could all be a lil' girl's spirit who knew how much people prayed for her. How much she was truly loved by her family and all who supported her.
Again, God bless you Aimee and Adam. You truly have the fight and determination that some can only dream of having!!!!!
