Normal day,
let me be aware of the treasure you are.
Let me learn from you,
love you,
bless you before you depart.
Let me not pass you by
in quest of some rare and perfect tomorrow.
Let me hold you while I may,
for it may not always be so.
One day I shall dig my nails into the earth,
or bury my face in the pillow,
or stretch myself taut,
or raise my hands to the sky and want,
more than all the world, your return.
~Mary Jean Iron
To every single person in every corner of the World who is remembering our darling girl, who is sending us love and support, who is taking extra time to just pause and cherish this month, thank you.
xx

Our thoughts are with you today

so my goodness, how heartbreaking and how joy-making…the essence of life and the bigness of the human spirit is in you…and in her….somehow, I think her spirit just keeps living. The poem is so amazing….I am going to stick on my fridge to remind me every day, of what I have.

Thank you Sheye for being strong enough to share Ava with so many of us – she will be long remembered and I have thought of her often – especially this month!

Stranger here. She is breathtakingly, amazingly, perfectly beautiful. Looking at those photos started to get me choked up, and then the song started. I have sung that song to my kids since birth, and the tears flowed. Thank you for the messages you share, I think your site has taught me to treasure our moments more deeply.

22nd August 2010 ….Oh what a day we had….we collect shells, ran and skipped along the beach, climbed along the rockpool rocks, hugged, dreamt and laughed, swam (when it was really to cold… but ….Hey its never to cold to get in your pink frilly cozzie !!)thought and wished. A day thinking and loving Ava and her beauitful family

P.s …Charlotte took the shells to pre-school today and told her teacher Amanda that they were ‘Shells for Ava’

A little girl… a beautiful smile…a life way too short. But even in her short life, she taught so many so much… And today, as I read about her birthday I hug my kids tighter, appreciate my life more, and treasure what I have learned because of her. Thank you Ava… Thank you Sheye for sharing her with me and so many more… Laura

Much,much love to you and your family. Happy Birthday sweet angel Ava.
“Time it was, and what a time it was, it was
A time of innocence, a time of confidences
Long ago, it must be, I have a photograph
Preserve your memories, they’re all that’s left you…”

I have just found your website and am full of tears for the loss of your beautiful Ava. I can only imagine what you and your family have been through. I was very touched by the poem and if it is ok with you, I would like to send it to friends who lost their 4 yr. old daughter last week in an automobile accident in Cairo, Ga. Both parents were in the vehicle, but neither were seriously injured. However, the mother is pregnant with twins,who are due in February. Anything that might help this couple would be appreciated.

I love seeing in frames, I love the beauty in the ordinary, I love my camera, I love that when I see images I hear too. I love the latelight, I love finding moments I didn’t imagine and I love creating moments I did. I love learning more every day, I love sharing what I’ve come to know, and I love making pictures pretty.
I’m so glad you stopped by. xx
We sent our pink balloons your way …. we hope they made it to you! We hope that you enjoyed all the celebrations for you yesterday, and that you had a lovely day. Happy 7th birthday Superprincess Ava.
Sheye we hope you and your family were able to feel the happiness and love sent your way, and that you know your darling daughter has made such a difference in so many lives. They were three very short years, but what a blessing to have those. That gorgeous face makes me smile with tears in my eyes every time.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
