Wishing and Missing and Beauty Full Things
So. It’s August.
The days are ticking over just a little too quickly while I try to navigate around the wishes and the shoulds.
We have planned something simple and beautiful for Ava’s birthday, I will share in another post. For now I wanted to show you another thing of beauty, created by the lovely and talented Kym Drury from Madilu Designs, in honor of Ava’s birth month. Kym has put together the sweetest 5×5 album template for the tiny price of $10 and even more wonderful, she is so generously donating all proceeds to Paradise Kids in Ava’s memory.
I’m so touched by this gesture and struggle to put into words how much it means that Ava is remembered in different, beautiful ways by beautiful strangers..especially at this time of year. For anyone who loves pretty templates or if you’d just like to support an amazing group of people who has made so much difference to our family, I would really appreciate it if you could stop by at Kyms and see her lovely creation.
Thankyou is not enough Kym, but thankyou.
Love Sheye xx


oh how wonderful. i will definitely check out kym’s site and designs. precious. thinking of you sheye. xo
Sheye,
What a lovely template and another wonderful tribute to Ava. Holding you in my heart as you approach her birthday. And although this may sound strange, whenever I look at any of your photos of your family, so much love shines through them that I cannot help but think that each and every one is a tribute to her as well.
Much love

Kim is a beautiful woman and what she said is true…we’ve all been touched by your sweet Ava’s life and by you. She will always be remembered. Always.
The template is so ‘Ava’ish: the perfect shade of pink, delicate and breathtakingly beautiful, as is your little princess.
Thinking of you and sending you many hugs,
Love,
Tania
oh she is just so precious.
What a lovely album.
love to you, Shayne

So beautiful.
Ava was gorgeous. Your memories are beautiful. Friendships are lovely.
She will never be forgotten.
Such a gorgeous photo of Ava. So beautiful. Like alot of people here that comment, I don’t know you personally, but I think about you and your family quite often. And I wish I had your talent for photography.
What a beautiful photo of your divine Super Princess!
I will buy this template and try to use it for the thank-you cards I am sending to all the nice people who gave a little something in relation to my daughter Siena’s birth. x
The first photo of Ava takes my breathe away. What a wonderful gift.
Another beautiful picture of Ava that makes my heart weep for you and your family. I hope that this August brings more sweet memories, and fewer painful ones. The template is a darling, and so very thoughtful gesture from Kym to commemorate Ava’s birthday.
Man, that hair. I was always so jealous of that gorgeous, gorgeous mane of hers. Threaded colours and highlights no hairdresser could ever match.
Love to you and pretty ditties soon. xx
As close to perfection as one can get.
What an absolutely stunning image of an amazing little girl.
Love XX
Ava’s beauty and love continue to inspire so many people. Amazing.
the first photo is perfect. Captures the great beauty of Ava.
Your posts are always inspiring. I admire the strength you have, as you can put your sorrow into such inspiring art and words to influence others.
Stay strong, and may God bless you and your beautiful family.
xx.
hi sheye,
my heart will always ache for you. i’m so sorry that you live with that pain. she is with you though.
i thought you would enjoy hearing this…. i have a 13 month old named easton and my brother passed 9 years ago from cancer… he was an icredible person… anyway, i was at a friend’s party the other night that has psychic abilities and she looked at me and easton and said “your brother’s soul is in him”, “he is a gentle soul and he wanted me to tell you”. this made me cry of course with sadness that he is gone and joy that he is here. ava is with you, please hold on to that as much as possible.
have a beautiful day.
all my love and best to you,
leeann
such a superprincess-sweet
kind of gesture, s:)
