TWINKLE TWINKLE



If I could give you the stars, I'd gather them inside my heart,
I'd wrap them in love and brighten your day with starlight ..

In Memory of Baby Ava



Several months ago, I came across a blog called untanglingknots.com and the story that I read there totally broke my heart. Three years ago today, a wonderful lady called Karla gave birth to her first child, a daughter called Ava. Sadly, Ava grew wings and flew to heaven that same day.


Today, in memory of Ava, we visited a local beach and released three balloons, as I am sure many many other people all over the world did too.


Avas story is not mine to tell, so if you would like to know more about her, please visit untanglingknots.com and show Karla your love and support on sweet baby Avas third birthday.


Happy Birthday Ava, you are in our thoughts today and always X

Thanks Dani and Amanda,
Karla, Mark and Baby Avas story had such a profound effect on me, that I felt that I had to remember Ava on her birthday, and it is something that I intend to do every 14th April, from now on, in her memory. It is lovely that you did the same Amanda, thats England and Scotland covered this year!!
I hope you are both well.
Warmest wishes, you both take care too,
hugs,
Tabitha X

Dani, you got it spot on, the two silver stars were from my two little 'stars' and the heart did indeed represent sweet baby Ava.
Lauren was so sweet when we let them go, she watched them go up into the sky and said to me that they had gone straight up to heaven for Ava to play with - it brought even more tears to my eyes than were there already!!
Hugs,
