Okay it is 6:16AM I have just released a mylar care bears happy birthday ballooon. My son is currently having a melt down pointing at the sky saying uh oh baooon uh oh baooon..Now I have to go to the store and buy him a new balloon because he is so devistated. It's okay though it was for a good purpose. Ava is going to be overwhelmed with joy with all of her balloons.
 

Oh Karla, I ache for you. My heart swells, watching the video little Nate's beautiful blue eyes bore into me as if to say, "I'm here now. They're not alone." I wish you and your family everything and more. You are so strong and courageous for sharing your love, your pain and your continuing quest to heal. I think you are balancing her memory and your future so beautifully.

Karla, i lost my son 4 years ago, he was only 22 months. For a very long time I felt that I had failed my child, sometimes I still feel that way but I have to remember that I did nothing wrong nor did you. You did not fail Ava, God needed her and called her home just as he did my son. I know that today is extremely hard for you, but just remember that you have something that a lot of people don't have- a very special angel that watches over you and your family. Her body is not here but her soul is with you forever and nothing can take that away. God bless you and your family. My thoughts and prayers are with you. HAPPY BIRTHDAY AVA!!

Oh what a cry I've had for you this morning! That video - it touches me to the core, every time.

My thoughts and prayers are with you today, as you mourn for the World's Sweet Angel Baby. We all love her because you've so bravely shared her with us.

Bravo for you for grieving for her, for never forgetting her, but also having the strength to move forward.

Blessings always.

I never knew about your story until today but I am sitting here, tears streaming down my face for your loss. Your story reminds me how trivial my trials are.

Ava is in my thoughts and in my prayers.

I do not know you, and just read your story last night. My heart aches and tears flow for your beautiful, beautiful, perfect baby girl.So precious and sweet, here for so short a time. I can only think God would be so selfish because he realized just what a sweet girl she was and needed her immediatly at His side. You are a very brave and strong family. I don't know if I could have lived through that,if your heart felt as mine did after reading of Ava..but a million times worse, it surly must have taken so much love to put back together after breaking. I am happy you were able to to somewhat heal and become Nate's wonderful parents. Words don't seem enough.

I am thinking of you and praying for you Karla. But I hope this year has just a little bit brighter outlook because you are holding your beautiful boy Nate in your arms. I will be sending out a balloon here in Oregon for sweet sweet Ava

I feel the same as most, I have seen this video a few times yet cannot control the tears.

Karla you and Mark are so strong for even wanting another child. I am so happy you guys have Nate. So courageous to keep remembering Ava in such a vivid way and sharing her with all of us.

You did nothing to fail her, and you are not failing Nate. Some kids are just little. You can just look at his face and see that he is thriving!

My prayers for Peace in your hearts and Grace in your lives!

Happy Birthday, Sweet Baby Ava. Today, my wish for your mommy and daddy, is peace. May the beauty of your life surround them and Nate, and may their pain be lightened in their breathtaking love for you. If only for today, Sweet Girl.

I had to run to the grocery store and I saw baloons so I purchased 2 red (for the incredible love you express for her) and 1 pink (becasue she was agirl) I wanted to do a white for her pure innocence but they didn't have white=(

In memory of Ava and to express the impact her story has had on my life.

We thought of you, Mark, Nate and Ava today~

Kylie and I went to WalMart, before we checked out we bought a Strawberry Shortcake Happy Birthday balloon for Ava.

We released it from our back yard when we got home. As we watched it float up into the sky and soar through the clouds I told Ky it was for a beautiful little girl in Heaven. She waved to her and wished her a Happy Birthday.

Hugs to you, Mark and Nate.

Happy Birthday Ava! Must have looked beautiful looking down from heaven to see all of your birthday balloons floating up to you. Remember to keep watch over your mommy, daddy, and little brother Nate.

I'm a complete stranger to you. I love to read your blog and hear your unique take on life and motherhood. What a fabulous writer you are. I'm a mom and watching your tribute to Ava...there are no words. I don't need to know you to see your pain. I don't need to know you to wish you and your family peace. I don't need to know you to let you know that Ava has touched my heart. Such a beautiful little girl. She made an impact. There is no failure in that. Wishing you comfort.

My heart breaks for your pain today. I know how hard it is to remember each birthday, Logan's was Christmas Eve and it was beyond painful. I've thought of you often this weekend, and I have also thought of your sweet birthday girl.

I read your former blog and I often wondered what became of you. I'm releaved to know that you are well, despite your loss.

I'll be peeking at your new blog from time to time.

Take Care,

Your video was an amazing tribute to your sweet Ava. I can't imagine how you had the strength to survive what you did but I am so glad to see your sweet Nate getting more adorable as the days go by.
