Weep not for the memories

Friday, July 15, 2005

I miss you baby girl. Your memories are all I have, and I promise to keep them alive.
Godspeed Ava.

This probably isn’t the easiest video to watch. I suggest tissues if you choose to watch it.

AC and I just watched it and we are both sitting here in a heap of tears. Love and hugs are coming your way.

Yes, tissues were needed. Thanks for helping us to remember. A beautiful tribute to a beautiful baby girl.

Oh Karla, Thanks for sharing that. I still think about your Ava alot. My heart still hurts for you and Mark. She was a beautiful baby girl and she will forever be remembered by me and my family.
Mackenzie just saw the video with me and saw the balloons going up at the end and remembers how we did that for Ava.

Please someone pass me a tissue. HUGS TO YOU KARLA. That was just beautiful.

I will never forget Ava. I watched the video with Alison, and she drew a picture of Ava on our whiteboard. She said she loved her, and she cried right along with me. Putting that video together was probably good for you. She was a beautiful girl in every way, and she deserves to be remembered as you always will.

TJ watched with me, and he now understands who this little person Ava and her mommy and daddy are that we "God Bless" every night. He said she's just like his little baby. I sure wish they could have met one day. Nevertheless, Taryn and TJ will both know who she is, and even if they can't meet, they'll always be friends.

Karla:
I watched your video at work and I tried to post and was having trouble. So I came home tonight and wanted to post.That is a beautiful memory. I will never forget Ava. When my cousin Angelica died she was still born I was in 5th grade and we released balloons for her as well. I am so sorry for your loss and I am sure you hear that alot. You are one of the strongest woman I have ever come in contact with. Hugs from PA.

As long as you, your husband, as well as your families and friends are here, that precious, beautiful little baby will never be forgotten.

And thanks to your blogs and your strength, none of us who have come in contact with you through the internet will ever forget her either.

Karla, she truly was just gorgeous.

Thank you for sharing her with us.

Beautiful video, Karla. Thank you so much for sharing. I echo everyone here -- I will never forget your precious Ava either.

Karla,
We never met before, but I came across your baby blog after your last post was made in April. I heard what friends and family were doing with the releasing of the balloon and it just so happened that day for reasons I can't remember I was holding onto a balloon. I suddenly remembered you and your blog and looked at the balloon before releasing it into the air on my lawn in Ava’s memory- it was a moment mixed with sadness and appreciation.
I'm sure you hear this all the time, but you're a very brave person for sharing your story and dealing with your loss the way you are. I hope that one day soon you will have the family you and your husband have been trying so hard to have. Thank you for sharing your beautiful video and daughter's memory. May your daughter's spirit be a comforting presence and may her love be in your heart forever,
Kate

I've been on ur site for the past 2h I guess and Im obviously on here after nate's birth, but I just couldnt resist letting you know....Ava is sooooo cute...I dont WANT to refer to her in the past tense. It makes me tear up each time I see the video. Oh, gawd...I wish I could meet u sometime in my life,cos I have a lot of lessons to learn from about staying brave....seeing as Im just 19dpo and Im having all these premonitions that I'll never see a BFP ever in my life.
