My heart hurts everytime I think of what you went through with Ava. I lost my beautiful and much loved husband on Aug 26th and I cannot imagine yet that a day will come when the pain is not squeezing my heart until I fear it will burst. <BR/><BR/>How wonderful that someone thought of you and Ava...and wrote those thoughts down to music. She will live forever in that song.MrsGrumpyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10242720787149022301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12843084.post-45242291705116874092007-10-03T10:10:00.000-04:002007-10-03T10:10:00.000-04:00Oh my, I am so sorry for you.

Land softly my friend, land softly.. <BR/><BR/>We've just uploaded the song to my site. It's done. <BR/><BR/>Much love to you and Mark and Nate.. and of course, sweet Ava.Nicki from North Carolinahttp://www.nickiblack.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12843084.post-58435967397469221112007-10-02T10:25:00.000-04:002007-10-02T10:25:00.000-04:00I tried to listen to the song, but it said they are mixing it right now....I'll come back to listen. The words speak volumes. So beautiful. <BR/><BR/>Ava's story is what brought me first to your blog and I was so touched by it. And by you. You are a courageous woman and I am so sorry for the pain and loss your family has gone through. Ava's life has touched me and many others. It wasn't in vain.<BR/><BR/>Hang in there. You put it way more eloquently, but grief sucks.Dana a/k/a Sunshinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10572195070306258488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12843084.post-79410166711319274442007-10-02T08:33:00.000-04:002007-10-02T08:33:00.000-04:00As I started to read this post I wondered what had opened the Ava thoughts this time... a memory, smell, thought or something your sweet little one did that reminded you. Then I saw the song. The lyrics are sweet, I bet it's beautiful. :)aka_Meritthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10711662607879816395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12843084.post-4597333132492229162007-10-01T20:34:00.000-04:002007-10-01T20:34:00.000-04:00I read your blog religiously but have never commented before. I couldn't let this post go without letting you know that I ache for your loss. As one mother to another, you are in my thoughts. <BR/>Peace ,<BR/>KellyKellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09964215682943025507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12843084.post-90353180830183269542007-10-01T19:15:00.000-04:002007-10-01T19:15:00.000-04:00Though I cannot imagine your endless sadness not having Ava in your arms, it is indeed a moving tribute to have someone put down words that so eloquently describe your feelings. You are right, just when we thing we will crash into a million pieces, something catches us and lets us come back to where we live again.Shannonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12843084.post-62310326854182271902007-10-01T15:29:00.000-04:002007-10-01T15:29:00.000-04:00What a beautiful song - it brought tears to my eyes. I can't even begin to imagine all that you've gone through in losing Ava but know that there are a lot of us that will never forget her and think of you all often.Brandyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06219562593890122880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12843084.post-20974062902443041182007-10-01T13:53:00.000-04:002007-10-01T13:53:00.000-04:00That is awesome, I hope it brings some comfort to you and your husband.Scotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07286826423526288591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12843084.post-49588194895798391712007-10-01T13:47:00.000-04:002007-10-01T13:47:00.000-04:00That's really lovely, Karla. And timely too.

What a sweet woman. I know I don't know you but I wish I could take that ache away from you so bad because I can't imagine going through such an ordeal. I know Ava is watching down upon you always and you will always be her Mommy. I hope and believe that perhaps after this life you will get to raise her or at least know her a little better. I promise to send balloons into the sky every year on her birthday. Your story has touched me so much and just know that so many people who know you or don't know you care and have been touched and strengthened by your words and story.Carlyjtandcarly.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12843084.post-44087283830341802232007-10-01T08:14:00.000-04:002007-10-01T08:14:00.000-04:00Touching and beautiful.Darenhttp://wwwh.rhoadestrip.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
