12/05/2022 It's been a lil over 2 weeks now and at times I just don't believe you left the earth. I just don't want to believe it. I am so lost without you. But I will keep on going because I know you are watching me as you've always have here in Earth, just a little different and more difficult to adjust to the new ways you watch over me. I've got beautiful encouraging cards and messages on your memorial site. They help and I am very thankful. I am happy to hear you've met new friends from this site. I hope to hear about it when I'll hold and kiss you one day. Love you forever my girl, your mama.

12/20/2022 My baby girl, it's been a month and though you are not here on Earth anymore, I can feel you around and inside me. I miss you so much. The pain of grief isn't getting that much better, just duller and more numb. Daddy and I have been hiking every wknd with you. Last Saturday it was 8 mile hike and you showed us some beautiful places. I can't wait to see where you are taking us this Saturday. I come on beach walks with you every day to your beach. Thank you for building me up through the last 15 years, to be able to face this heartache. I love you my Ava-baby.

12/25/2022 Ava baby, Merry Christmas my beautiful girl. It's so hard not having you physically on Earth. Don't forget, I am taking you to the mountain tomorrow for 5 nights to stay in the cabin and play in the snow. I'll be taking you back to the beach when we get back on 31st. I love you Ava. I miss you so much and sorry I am still crying for you every day. your mama

01/19/2023 My Ava, it's been 2 months. I am learning the new ways to be with you. Yet, it will never be the same without you here on Earth. I miss you baby so much. I am just glad you gave me so many happy memories. I see them every day on the new digital photo frame dedicated to you, every picture and video on it is you. I love seeing your face every day, every hour. I love you so much Ava. Thank you for watching over me all these years. I love you!

3/16/2023 My girl, Ava, you are always in my heart and I miss your beautiful soul here on Earth. It's been almost 4 months and the love I have for you is infinite and eternal. Thank you for showing and teaching me what love is. I just wish I could see, kiss you, hug you and take you on a walk again. I can only hope that one day I will see you again. I love you so much my Ava-baby....

5/23/2023 Ava-baby, it's been 6 months, half-year passed without you here on Earth. I feel every second of your loving soul and every second I've been missing your being here at home in physical form. I can only pray and wish to see you again one day to hold and kiss you, my beautiful angel. I am starting to do dog walking and pet sitting again, remember all the fun we used to have and all the furry friends you've meet when we did that. Some of them are there with you at the rainbow bridge. I love you my Ava-baby.

6/23/2023 My Ava-baby, I'm always thinking about you and all the things you have shown to me and taught me how to enjoy them; the simpler the better! The camping trip=sign me up; the hiking=let's go & don't over think where to, just do it. I miss you so much! I've been getting back with pet-sitting and dog-walking in before & between work & school work. Oh boy it was much easier when you were running this operation. I bet you are smiling and laughing a bit watching from above and all the chaos that I've been faced with without you in my life to straights it out. I love you my girl and thank you for being in my life and hanging on for 15 years. I love you Ava baby...your mama

7/20/2023 My Ava-baby, I love you so much and thinking about you all the time. You are forever in my heart, and I miss your presence on this Earth so much. Daddy and I walking all the time and thinking how blessed we are the simple things you taught us and brought into our lives. We love you so much! Say hello to all your friends at the rainbow bridge for me. Miss you and love you-your mama

9/20/2023 Ava-baby, I've missed you and by now you have met your foster brother, Harry, who we have had since January from the local shelter to help us with grieving you and help the little guy to have a family to love him, cause he sure gave back so much love and joy. He is a handsome and a very good lad. I hope you both are playing now and released from suffering and pain. I miss you both so much. Thank you for sending me the special gifts at my favorited store as I often go there when grieving for you and your brother, Harry. I love you so much and miss you terribly! You've been gone for 10 months now, but it feels like yesterday - you mama
