Hi Sheye,
I have been reading your blog for a while now and would like to thank you, Ava and your whole family for being such a great inspiration to me. Little Ava has touched my life forever, as she has thousands of others. Your love for her is so bright and shines so clearly, it’s so inspiring. Words can do no justice but I wanted to let you know I think about and pray for Ava, you, Crayton, Luca, Mason and Ivy every day. :)
This post above was simply beautiful and captures your love for your little angel beautifully :)

Lots of love and prayers,
Natalie (Scotland)

Ava’s life and story has touched more people than you could ever imagine. She is such a beautiful soul, and she is a part of hearts all over the world. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences, and please know the impact your generosity has. You are truly a strong, amazing person, and you inspire people everywhere to appreciate both life and death. Although I have never actually met you, you and Ava and your family will remain a piece of me forever. I send you love and smiles and hugs and kisses and comfort, to you and Luca and Mason and Ivy and Crayton. xoxoxoxo…..

I just came across your lovely site and I’m in love with your wonderful work. Then I found this. I just want you to know that you inspire me. I don’t know that I would be able to find the courage and the strength that you have. God bless you!

Heya Sheye,
I’m sure there are ’50 million’ things that you love about Ava (Super Princess!). Thanks for sharing 50 of them. Very touching. She’s adorable x

Hi Sheye
i’m new to your blog and very, very touched by it, Ava is such a beautiful girl and that you are still able to talk about it shows all the gifts you have and have found. Loosing someone is not about getting over it, you never can, you just learn to cope with them not being around. Having a mom go to heaven is different from having a child go to heaven, but keep that in mind that heaven is not far away and the bigger man up there playing games with Ava is watching over you too, He was my joy in my time of sorrow.
Hang in there and you will learn to cope.
Thoughts and prayers, Christine

Tears, tears, and more tears. The beauty of your words leave little for the rest of us to say. What incredible strength you have Miss Sheye. I want you to know the pure admiration and love I have for you and your family. Thank you for letting me follow you on your journey. I never knew I could be so touched by someone I’ve never even met. I let pink balloons fly, I hope your Super Princess caught them. May your heart be light. Much love from Utah…

I only made it half way through the list. So touching. Will have to finish the rest later. Thanks for the beautiful post that you have, and for allowing us to peek inside.

Oh Ava…How my stranger’s heart aches beyond measure for you to be back in your mother’s arms!
And as I know that this ache and desperate, clawing feeling I have upon reading your mom’s memories is infinitesimal compared to what she feels every single day, oh sweet Ava, what a Superwoman/Superprincess your mom is…to bear this monumental grief along with being a lovely mom to your brothers and sister, and making you so eternally alive and beautiful to all us moms out in the etherworld…sharing her personal grief with strangers, so that we may look at our own mischievous, defiant, mess-making, lovable, amazing, gorgeous, precious, patience-trying 3 year olds, see your beautiful face in theirs and choose to cherish rather than scold, hug rather than shrug off, bask in rather brush off. Dearest Amazing Ava, I see you so often when I look at my own 3 year old, Lucy, full of opinions and orders and passions, hilarious proclamations and new and innovative nomenclature and naughty experiments gone wrong…All my life with her, I will also think of you and where perhaps I would have scolded or yelled, I will hug you both, and explain and teach instead of shouting or crabbing…You and your mom have showed me so clearly that I can lose my patience for and about many other things, but my most precious treasures should not be one of them… To paraphrase e.e. cummings, i carry your heart with me (i carry it in my heart)…always.
Love for Always and Ever
Annie

Sheye, my heart just melts when I visit your blog. All of your children are amazingly beautiful. You capture their grace so wonderfully in each photo! That last picture of Ava – breathtaking! You and your family are in my thoughts …

How darling, and endearing all those precoius details about her are. The song playing could not fit her perfect little face any more perfectly. Prayers to you this month.
