Bright and vivid to the world for sure. Just as bright and glittering and glowing as every step danced at the ballet yesterday. Something I would have passed up if not for her and for you. She does shine.

Did the fortuneteller really tell you that?
Ava was so beautiful and her star is the brightest one of all and is shining for you and your family.
You seem like one of the best people on this earth Sheye. I really feel for you and I am so sorry for the loss of your beautiful girl.
I think she was faint, because the light all around
her was making it hard to see her completely.
she is an angel among us and I feel her presence through your words sheye!
you are an amazing woman sheye.
Ava’s light will always be bright for me and all the lives she has touched.
God Bless You!

Wow! Faint is not a word I would use to discribe the influence her life has had on the so many people around the world…Thank you for sharing!
Ava is the light that shines limitesly upon us all=]. A fortune teller once told my cousin that she will never have children. She had a beautiful baby girl, sometimes it is best not to go to them or even trust them. They can ruin your life by saying scary things that arn’t true.
amazingly enough … her light is incredibly vivid because you have chosen to share her presence with so many.
ava is vivid. unfortunately we never got the chance to see just how vivid she could become.
Though I’ve never met any of you, even I feel like I knew Ava. Sometimes I find myself telling people about the dangers of a hot car and say “My friend Sheye lost her baby.”
Then I remember you don’t actually know who I am, and I read your blog secretly.
Thank you for letting me read your blog and be touched and blessed by your family.
This fortune teller couldn’t have been more wrong. Dear Ava and her mother and family have affected so many of us for the better. Nope, not faint at all.

Sheye… I’ve said it to you many times ~ I think about you and Ava every day. The way I think about you differs depending on what my life is throwing at me. Sometimes you offer me some perspective, sometimes I smile at Ava coming down the waterslide with me, sometimes I just think how beautiful Ava was and I just can’t imagine that she is gone.
I’m struggling with a lot lately and it feels like there is just no ending to what I’m feeling. That is can’t be any worse. But. It can be worse. Much worse.
At the moment, I think of Ava and I just cry. I cry for you. I feel like I can’t handle the anxiety in my chest and then I think of how you HAVE ‘handled’ what you have and I realise how weak I can be. How do you do it?
Ava will never be faint.

:I think about you and Ava every day”
“My friend Sheye lost her baby.”
“I feel like I can’t handle the anxiety in my chest and then I think of how you HAVE ‘handled’ what you have and I realise how weak I can be”
Ditto to all of this… I’ve never ‘met’ you, outside of ‘enrich’, not likely to any day soon either but you and Ava are with me every day. She has touched so many people, and your words inspire me every day.
Your Ava is very beautiful.
I think about you and Ava every day.

Oh Sheye.. Ava’s spirit is so bright, she has touched (& changed) so many lives.. I believe there are certain things that happen in life that we can’t control.. but I also believe that we have the ability to use those things to change the world. Ava will never be faint, because you have shared her beauty with the world & allowed her spirit to continue to shine. Ava’s light is so very, very bright..

Lots of love.

Ever since i watched the tribute video that was played at the service, I have had beautiful rendition of over the rainbow playing over and over in my head. I also have not been able to escape the pain in your heart you have had to endure. You have stolen my heart with your story. Your angel made heaven brighter.

A sign perhaps :(
Many yrs ago a psychic said to me “You have a lovely daughter”. I told her I did’nt have a daughter, just 3 sons. “But she’s around you all the time” she said “I can feel her energy so strongly, I can’t believe she is’nt already born. You will definitely have a daughter”
I was single at the time. A year later I met her father. He’d also been told he’d have a daughter. Meant to be,obviously. That’s a beautiful, soul stirring photo Sheye.

Her time here was too short but her impact was immeasureable. An outward ripple, never ending. She could never be faint. Thanks to her and you…. so many of us truly appreciate. That is her gift.
Sheye…
I have to say that you have the most beautiful heart.
I can feel how much you love Ava…how much you miss her, how great she actually was, just through this picture and your words.
You are an amazing person- may God bless you and your family.
Ava is undoubtedly dancing around in Heaven in her pink tutu… being a Superprincess.
She knows how much you love her.
Oh.my.
