She would have danced.
She would have been good at art.
She would have loved playing with Ivy.
She would have been a great shopper.
She would have made some boy so happy.
She would have made a wonderful mother.
She would have been beautiful.
It’s six months today.
I don’t know you, but I have been following your story for a while now.
So many times I have wanted to comment, but not sure what I could say. I don’t know what it is like to be in your shoes, I am not even going to pretend to. I can’t. I wish that you didn’t feel that way either….
but.
Today’s post really made me want to say something….
That she IS Dancing.
She IS art through you.
She LOVES Ivy.
No doubt she would have been a good shopper.
She makes many boys happy (yours)
YOU are a wonderful Mother.
and she IS beautiful.
But then again, you already know that.
You are an amazing woman, photographer, mother and I am sorry you are going through this.
Much Love,
Josette Myrick

After reading my comment…I wanted to clarify something.
That when I said, “You already know that”
What I really mean is, I hope you do know that.
Just wanted to make that clear.

So long already?
She is still such a vibrant part of so many lives – always will be.
Hope you can feel her dancing today.

oh sweetie, yes it must be a lesser place and yet look how much you’ve given everyone during this six months – you have kept her alive in all our hearts and minds – small consolation I know. You have done so well to get up and live through each one of those days and just plain survive.
I do love that you know all these things about her and can hold them to you, despite the bittersweet pain they cause.
love always

Although it’s not enough, I try to believe what ‘tnt’s nina’ said.
I just don’t know what else to say to you Sheye ~ there isn’t anything to say except we all hope that you know there are so many waiting to listen when you reach these places :(
Hugs for you on the lesser days. Ava was, and always will be, so many things.
There are no words, only love coming your way…
xxxxxx
:*( Big hugs to you, Sheye and all of your beautiful family!
Big hugs to you all today x
Through your family Sheye, ‘beauty full’ Ava is touching so many people’s lives – what an awesome gift she continues to give xx
You are right here is a lesser place, somewhere though is so much brighter where Ava continues to dance. Ava made my world brighter just from your words, photos and stories. She is always near my mind and never forgotten. Sending you so much love and light.
Love, hugs and kisses to you Sheye and your gorgeous family. Thinking of you through this difficult time… Ava is and will be forever in our hearts! Love Jodie xxxx
love you all muchlyxx
Sheye – I have no words – but you are in my thoughts so often – and so is the beautiful ballerina Ava.
Janelle xx
I so wish with all my heart that this wasn’t a lesser place
Thinking of You
Love Kaz

A lesser place…a journey no one should have to travel. Ava still is all of those things, but she is the lucky one…she is in a bountiful place and so so happy. God’s love and my love to you and your family today.
Sheye, there is no love like the love for our children. It is instantaneous and cannot be measured by the amount of time we have with them. Although Ava had only 3 years on this earth she will live a lifetime in your heart. No doubt it is a lesser place without your Ava but I pray that the knowledge that so many have seen and shared in your love for her make it a little easier. We think of beautiful Ava and your family every day…xxxooo
I too, have read but never commented before. The right words never seemed to come to me, but I wanted you to know I’m thinking of you and your family. Your strength and courage to begin each new day and to share both your ups and downs with us is utterly amazing. May you find a smile somewhere in this lesser day. {{HUGS}}
Oh Sheye…thinking of you today and of sweet Ava. I haven’t checked your blog in a while but something brought me here today. Glad it did.

I don’t know you but heard about Ava and have returned many times to see her pictures and read your words. I, too, have not left a comment before; I, too, wish I knew what to say. I feel your pain even if I can’t fathom it. Your beautiful girl, exquisite. She does shine on, as you have kept her memory alive so beautifully both in your words and your simply stunning photographs. I hope that some day it can be understood why Ava had such a short time on this earth. I am so very sorry for your loss.
oh Sheye- she is all those things and smiling so brightly upon you. I hope you feel her near you- I’m sure she’s there more than you know!
xoxo
Oh Sheye…
Tears are streaming down my face just reading this…unfortunately knowing so much how you must be feeling right now :(
It´s been 2 weeks since Tina´s death today…
The pain is still so unbearable and I just can´t imagine…life without her in it…not ever seeing her again…touching her…hugging her…telling her how much I love her…
I´m sure your BEAUTIFUL little Ava is showing our BEAUTIFUL Tina around right now. I imagine them both holding hands, dancing on clouds and smiling down on us. Feeling the love we have for them and just beeing happy :)
I know Tina will take good care of your little girl for you ♥
Love to you and your family *sends a million hugs*

(they’re hearts)
Sheye, she is still dancing and spreading love but now the only difference is, she’s dancing into a million hearts and spreading love to a million people……
She is not here but she will forever be in your heart and hearts of so many other people who think of her everyday and who pray for her and her loving family everyday.
{{{{{{{ BIG HUG }}}}}}}}}}}
sending you lots of love

I can’t believe it’s been 6 months already….
but one thing for sure is that she IS BEAUTIFUL and will always remain so. and she is sure dancing where she is, that i know.
thanks for sharing your thoughts and photos of your darling super princess ava…..she will remain in my heart always.

No less is your sorrow. No less is she loved by you and yours. The loss of what should have been, so clever are you in your ability to articulate this. What a difference this has made to others in their sorrow. Small comfort I am sure, on dark days in your lesser place. But know that what you share is heard. Your words and images have power.
xxxxx
A lesser place for sure . Those of us that didnt even know her feel it . Those of us who she has touched thru simply her pictures , we are all better people for it , though we dwell in this lesser place .
Ava didnt only teach us her rule , she taught us lessons on life , love and what really matters . She has reached across vast oceans …danced her way into so many hearts …..leaving behind better people in her wake ………with only a smile and a soft whisper …….
She has encouraged , inspired , and amused us thru your powerful pictures and story telling . SHe has caused complete strangers to become better mothers , to want to reach out and be better people in her name …..
She reminds us all what life is really about …how powerful yet fragile a childs smile can be ….what an amazing gift our children are ….and how to hold on as tight as you can because you really never know how long they will bless us with their presence …..
Ava will NEVER be forgotten , not by her family for sure, but not by the people she has touched and changed aswell .
NOt only does she dance Sheye , she does so in front of a vast audience ….across the entire world ….an audience who repeatly calls for encores , and who send up pink balloons to honor her …….an audience who at all times carries her and her message in their hearts and thanks her mamma for the beautiful gift she is giving us by sharing so precious a soul .
Thank you .
Sue
Oh honey,
She loved,
She laughed,
She dreamed,
She danced.
She was so cherished…
So much love to you
Lea xoxox
Oh Sheye,
I hate to see your heart breaking like this. I think of you and your family often. My love to you all.
Shayne
My heart aches for you and your family, but I truly believe that Heaven is even more beautiful with Ava in it. God Bless You All until you meet again.
each time i come in here you surprise me with more photos of your super princess.
(hugs) for the six months.
not a day goes by when i dont think about your family, and what you must be going through.
Love to you all

thinking of you Sheye, today & everyday. Thank you again for sharing your precious Ava with us…you make all of us strive to be better parents – and take time for the small things…with much love,
laureen
Much love to the Rosemeyer Family.
I’m sure Ava is dancing on her pink cloud as she watches over you.
Tara (MSF)
She is doing all those things through you your husband Ivy and the boys.. she IS.. though all of you.. She was so loved and never far.
E
You are in my thoughts each and everyday, I just wanted you to know that.
I’m so in awe of your spirit and how brave you are. I just know you through your blog, which I visited when I heard about Ava.
I wish you didn’t have to prove all this, and that you had Ava with you all still. Faced with this huge impossible loss you show such grace and strength. It probably doesn’t feel that way when you’re in it.
Wishing you and your family well.
Sheye… you and Ava and your family are always so close to my heart. She was and is amazing.. as are you. Through her.. thru you I have learned to look at things so very differently and I am forever greatfull for that.
I am forever changed.
Kelly
Still thinking of you and your family, and praying for you hope and peace. My heart still aches for you and I’ve never even met you or Ava; please know so many still care and pray…
After reading for a few hours… tears on my face… and I have no words that can say what I want to say.. But you, mother Sheye, are in my heart and so is your beautiful girl Ava…
Sorry for me English,
Love, Isabel
