Celebrating 8 Years...



Dear Ava,

Today we celebrate your eighth birthday in Heaven. Thinking back to eight years ago today can be heartbreaking. We miss you so very much but are thankful you are with Jesus and are healthy. There are few days that go by when we don't think about you. Often times we see a little girl who would be your age and we wonder what life would be like if you were here. We pray that one day God will allow us to raise another little girl, and we will proudly tell her about her big sister. We know you are in a better place and as much as we miss you we know you are where you are supposed to be. Your little brother Jackson is doing well, he is growing so quickly. We have shared many times with him about his big sister and how God used your precious life to bring Jackson into our family. Every year at Christmas we put up your stocking right along with Jackson's and your big brother Ermias. We will never forget you sweet Ava, you will always be our little baby girl.

 Your mommy just received a new kidney and pancreas on Thursday night, which is a huge answer to prayer - She is doing amazing! So as we celebrate your birthday today we are sitting in a hospital room just like we were eight years ago. Today however, we are rejoicing in your mommy's new opportunity of life and your wonderful life with Jesus.

We love you so very much Ava, we are so proud to be your mommy and daddy. Give your great Uncle Dale and your great Grandma Norfleet a hug from your daddy.

Love always,

Mommy and Daddy
