wild thang

we were in her room...I looked away for one minute...I swear...and she pulled up on the crib. Crazy girl!!! oh Lawdy what am I gonna do?

Guess who play's patty cake...baby Aynslee. Maybe a picture can follow this post later....she doesn't seem to do it when I have my camera out. For now, I'll leave you with her "mad baby scrunchy nose" face....a.k.a. "Ava Shaye's face". LOL

It's ok to reach out to us. You are not bothering us. It's ok if you can't. If you don't know what to say, "I'm so sorry you lost Ava" , with, or with out a hug, is all we need. It's ok if you say something and I start to cry. You didn't cause it. Death caused it. You didn't "remind" me of her death, because not a second goes by that I am not thinking of her. Aching for her. It's ok if you see us out and we are smiling and appear to be doing well. At that moment, we might be. Other moments we are doing so, absolutely, not well. It's ok if you said the wrong thing or didn't say the right thing because there is no wrong or right thing to say. There is no wrong or right way to BE when your child dies. There is no right way to do this. We'll figure it out together. Thank you for loving us!
