I wanted to research this subject and write a paper. Your post what a thousand words would not. Nice job.

How special that you have such beautiful photos to help in remembering the days so clearly…

This is my first time commenting. I have been reading your blog for almost a year now and I am so sorry for your loss. I love this collage, it is very special. My heart breaks for you and your family.

The one where she curls her tongue and the middle one at the bottom are my favourites.

At least she wanted to try them…

Happy that you have such clear memory of that day. And baked beans will forever remind you of Ava (but I’m sure many other things do to).

Love,
Tania

YOur little Ava is so adorable. I found your blog through a friends. And I am so drawn to it. You are an amazing photographer, and a beautiful mother. Thank you for sharing your story. I am sure you have uplifted so many mothers including me. I wish I could say all the right things, but I don’t even know where to begin. Your family is always in my thoughts and prayers. Would love to put a link of your blog on mine, but if you don’t want me to I totally understand.

As I sent my August 21st born baby off to kindergarten this morning I couldn’t help but think of you and your dear Ava. I am wishing you strength to make it through this tough week and all your weeks to come!

Dear Sheye… I too lost a child. I know so well the feeling of dread that accompanies special days. I ache for you. It takes great courage. And so much love. I know you’ve an abundance of that. I too, am so very relieved when memories come to me. They are like food to a starving body. May you feel Ava’s undying love as you remember the day she was born—the very beautiful day that she came to be yours forever…

Ditto ditto ditto Sara moon's comments. i am thinking, thinking, thinking of you and your family this week 24/7. I don't stop thinking about you and your family. Your world loves you Sheye – I know you are comforted by that – you have to feel it. Hang in there sweetie. Smooches & Hugs, Denise.

I always struggle with something to write when I see Ava’s beautiful face and know you are hurting so…

I want to be completely honest and acknowledge how hard it must be each and every second. When I see the pic of her curling her tongue and picture my own 3 year old daughter doing the same thing…only this morning…I simply don’t know how you go on wihtout her. That said, I am in awe of you – always have been and always will be.

Your grace is astounding. My heart breaks with you, Sheye.

My thoughts goes to you All this week.
