November 14, 2011

Today I am thankful that 3 years ago today, God gave me 4 very special days with one of the most beautiful newborn baby girls I'd ever seen. Holding her, rocking and singing to her, loving her as though she were my own, and dreaming of all she would become for those 4 days meant the world to me. As she celebrated her 3rd birthday today, I thought of her and wondered what she might be doing to celebrate her special day. When I saw in her birthday pictures tonight that she had a pink cake with pearls and bows on it and that she was wearing a polka dot dress and pearls around her neck, I smiled so big. I'm also a big fan of pink, polka dots, and pearls. :) Although she wasn't meant to be our little girl, I will always remember her and love her with a mother's heart. I am so happy she is happy and so loved. ♥

Happy Birthday, Ava Rose!

Tears. Sadness. Joy. You have such a big heart Adrienne. You have truly loved, lost and been blessed in abundance for your faithfulness. Thankful for all the love you give so freely to little ones. I'm thankful sweet Ava Rose is doing so well!

I can't believe it has been so long already. You played such a wonderful, nurturing role in the life of that little girl. I hope it gave you peace, not sadness, to see her photos.

Get over it already, she is not yours and never will be.

Praying peace for you. I cant believe it has been that long. And whoever NICKY is, you should be ashamed. Have you nothing better to do than sit around making rude comments on peoples blogs?

Holy Toots to whoever Nicky is! She was yours for those short 4 days. And the others are right, you have such a BIG heart. Ava Rose is blessed to have a mommy in the distance praying for her. ♥
