Ava Grace Johnson was born yesterday Monday 16th March 2015 at 11:58am. This battle with her condition 'Cystic Hygroma' was just to big for her. She fought hard though. We are so glad to have birthed her and met her. She was the most stunningly beautiful little girl, even though we could see she was sick, she was so precious and the months we had with her and feeling her move were so special. She had perfect feet and hands - even down to her dainty fingernails and toes.
Ava looked like her Daddy and sister most I think. She had Mat's nose and O's long feet and E's petite features. She had my knees and her daddy's toes. You can tell she would have been a musician like her daddy with her long fingers.
Our family would like to thank everyone for their support and prayers as we have really felt everyone's love. It was so good knowing how many people were cheering Ava on in her fight with Cystic Hygroma and how much her loss has saddened you too.
I know Mat and I are forever changed and it feels like nothing will ever be normal again, but I know we will find our 'new normal' without having our third child Ava with us growing up with E and O.
When searching meaning for her name there were many, however we chose to stick with these.
Ava - little bird, flight
Grace - blessed, Gods favour
Psalm 84:10a "Better is one day in your courts, than a thousand elsewhere"
The above psalm has also been written as a song and this is the song that Mat and I had sung at our wedding 10 years ago, little did we know how important that song would be - we thought it was beautiful back then and now even more so, I believe every word of it too!
~We love and miss you Ava Grace our beautiful and precious girl~
