Thank you for this.
You make me remember to look around at the beauty everyday…
today I ‘abducted’ my boyfriend, and took him to this absolutely beautiful ’secret’ hidden hill in our park. It was about 16 degrees, snowing and windy, but it was beautiful.
We sat there for hours.
I think your posts, words and your general being are helping me to be more aware of the everyday miracles.
Thank you Sheye.
God bless you and your children and husband. Pee Ess, Ivy is absolutely stunning. You’re going to have to watch those boys soon :)

Sheye,

I have started and stopped writing you a comment so many times since I found your blog and Web sites. Today, I saw the picture of Ivy’s face close up as she lies on the grass and it was the way her midnight eyes shined like saucers as do my sons’s almond chocolate eyes and the way the crook of her neck is so similiar to his -it’s the spot I love to kiss even though he fights it now that he’s five going on 20 and mummy kisses aren’t as cool as they used to be. It’s all this and more of how fragile and powerful our children are, how sweet and sour they can be but so intoxicatingly beautiful in how they swell our hearts and souls. And it’s because of this marvelling that I want to just commend you and your family for your courage in the face of unimaginable grief of the loss of your exquisitely beautiful Ava. And I am humbled by the global community of love and support you have found in this journey. Just for this moment, I want to share these thoughts. I hope you know our hearts with you.

To do absolutely nothing except live simply, love muchly and never forget what matters most.

Thank you for these beautiful words, my day will be better for reading them as I am sure to look at things differently and be thankful for all I have right now.

Beautifully written, and thank you for this Sheye. Thank you for sharing all the beauty of your life, even when it includes so much bittersweetness. Ivy is just gorgeous here.

I just want to go “Ahhhh” at the thought of those moments. They happen so little in our home which is always bustling and busy. I so wish there were more times I could just hang out with my girls, forget the cares of the world, indulge in dress up, painting, and playdough, playing under the covers and walking barefoot in the leaves outside. Thanks for such a sweet reminder for us to make time to do those things that make time slow down.

I don’t think, however, you’d enjoy using film all the time as much as you might think! I still have to use film since I don’t yet have a digital camera. It is incredibly frustrating at times! I love film, but I’d love even more as an OPTION not as a HAVE TO :-)

From across the world, I am wishing you were my next door neighbor. I have had the same feeling this week. So much busy time not enough time for a recharge. Life gets hectic when we have little ones—and teenagers too :) I think I will have a dinner picnic in the backyard with my kids and let life zoom on by. Maybe ignore the ‘please volunteer’ phone calls and emails. Check out the meteor shower. Make that trip to see my dear friend, Dani. Shoot with film. I hope your week is lovely :)
