"To touch and to feel the memory of your smallness fills my heart with the blessing & reality of you".
Yes, today our lil' Miss Ava Noel is celebrating her first Birthday celebration up there in Heaven, and I'm sure she's flaunting those wings of hers! At least that's what I'm imagining.
I'm feeling pretty good right now. I'm sitting here thinking about her and looking at her pictures, and for right now I'm smiling. I'm not crying... I've already done plenty of that these last few days and I want this day to be a happy one... it's Ava's day!
It's been a tough week for sure. We have been recounting the arrival of Ava, and missing her immensely! We have had the challenge of being bombarded with heavy emotions this week and we have been having second, third and fourth thoughts about whether or not we should even try again to bring another child into our lives. Mugi and I are BOTH scared, but we are both strong too, and our strength combined overpowers the fear we have. So today is a GREAT day... it's a day of reflection, and a day for resolution!
HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY, baby girl!!! Mama and Daddy miss you and love you!

You are one strong woman. Your optimism really and truly is awe inspiring! I agree, God will definitely bless you and your hubby! It took my husband and I 10yrs to have our first...and that's not from lack of trying! Keep your chin up girl...take care!
