Ava's Memory Locket
by Karla ° Wednesday, June 8, 2005
In hopes of keeping Ava close to my heart and her memory with me at all times, I bought a locket. Inside, it holds a lock of her hair and her picture.




Knowing she will be with me in heart, soul, body and mind while we journey through the Rocky Mountains next week comforts me, but physically carrying a small reminder of her while we experience the splendor and magnificence of such a geological wonder adds yet another mending stitch to my broken heart and healing soul.





For you baby girl, we're escaping to a small corner of the earth to seek strength from the brilliance of a mountain range.

For you baby girl, we're going to climb a mountain and sit in the clouds next to you, where you now rest peacefully, and seek harmony and serenity from the beauty and glory of our surroundings.

For you baby girl, I carry a peice of your hair and your photo, so I never forget your precious life, and always keep you close to my heart.

I just love those pictures of Mark and Ava, and you and Ava. What a wonderful thing to have.

I hope you two have a great trip and that you find the peace you are looking for. She will be with you both.

I think it's great that you will carry Ava with you to the mountains. May their power reach you all and help in the process of heart-healing.

What a great way to keep Ava close to your heart. Have a great trip you both deserve it.
 

the locket is a wonderful idea.
i am amazed at your bravery. you & your husband are meeting your grief head on. it is very powerful to "witness". i have NO idea what this must be like for the two of you. what i understand from a clinical view is that people who enter & walk through grief, actually come through the other side.
i hope the mountains are what you hope them to be & more.
one thousand good thoughts your way.
