Mady loves to draw; she literally draws/colors all of the time. Lately she has been drawing us as a family with little Ava watching over us. This picture is me, john, Mady and little Ava standing above my head;-). She said that Jesus and God are above us in the picture because they are always watching over us. I am so humbled with my little girls faith and how innocent she is in her thoughts. I adore her "child like" faith; which we all should have more of. We talk about Ava everyday and miss her sooooo much. There are days where Mady and I just sit together and cry because we wish that Ava was here with us. But in my heart I know she is with us; I know this sounds strange but at times I see little Ava in her big sister. They looked so much alike. We talk about how wonderful it will be to see Ava again in heaven; Mady said to me "mommy, after you and daddy get to hold Ava, I want to hold my baby sister." I thank God everyday for my little Mady who is my perfect companion right now, we are so incredibly close and I can only hope that we stay that way in the years to come.
