I think that God gave us this name because it's different, unique, there aren't really that many of us I have met and I am pushing 50. You are a beautiful young woman sharing life on life's terms. I appreciate your transparency and love for our Lord. I will pray for you at this time. I will pray for Justin and Ava. Children are a gift from the Lord. She is as beautiful as her parents. I like what the others have posted, it's wisdom. You are loved with an everlasting love and underneth you are the everlasing arms!

I'm sure he will tell you he understands, but it is important say "I'm sorry". The words aren't only important for him to hear, but also for you to say. You can't forgive yourself and move on if you don't.Miss Karennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1192031313610865107.post-43603995705009670562010-08-19T18:33:13.244-07:002010-08-19T18:33:13.244-07:00You inspire me to be a better person!

That first year is so hard. My kids were young but not babies. Keep the Faith and your sweet attitude. WHo care if you swear once in awhile.

She would also pick fights with her husband b/c he was there and she needed to take her frustration out on someone. But he also provided so much love and grace on her just like Christ does with the church. I love that you know that the pain is not who you have to be. Also know that Ava has Jesus' spirit in her and she knows how much you love her even if other people have to take care of her right now. My sister had to stop taking care of my neice at 3 months old. She then had to live with her grandparents but everytime she saw my sister and heard her voice she knew it was her mommy despite being taken care of by other people. Ava will look back at this and see how strong you were and what faith you have. I will not cease praying and thinking of you.Sister,Grief,Healinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15085822929159299245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1192031313610865107.post-41653532560086336232010-08-18T22:11:24.408-07:002010-08-18T22:11:24.408-07:00I love you...

Just the myriad of thoughts and emotions you must continually have is enough to make someone not be themselves. Don't be hard on yourself. Just love that sweet Ava, rest and pray...lots of prayers.Tammy Bollmannoreply@blogger.com
