Things to Remember

I DON'T WANT YOU TO EVER LOOSE SIGHT OF WHAT IS IMPORTANT TO YOU.

Be Kind. Be understanding - Seek to understand. There is always a missing part to someone's puzzle that you can't always see.

NEVER and I mean NEVER rely on a man or anyone else for your happiness or ability to survive.

*****TRUST YOUR HEART. It will never lead you down the wrong path. It may lead you down a more difficult path but never the wrong path.

DON'T BE AFRAID TO FAIL. It will only make you stronger.

*****Learn from your mistakes.

LAUGH EVERY SINGLE DAY! SMILE AT STRANGERS.


*****Love unconditionally. Love with your whole heart.

LOVE YOURSELF.

*****Travel. Experience new things. Step out of your comfort zone.

HAVE GRIT. Make your actions speak for you.

****ALWAYS be grateful for what you have. There will always be people around you that have more than you and there will always be people who have less than you.

KNOW THAT YOU ARE LOVED. That there is nothing that you could ever do or say that will ever change that.

****You will get more from people if you are honest and upfront with them and you will get more out of life you never have to carry the guilt of lies in your heart.


Ava, you already are a strong spirit. You are determined and need things to be your way. I pray that you keep this but that you also keep the compassion that is in your heart. That you work hard for all that you want in life but take the time to enjoy all the beauty that surrounds you. Don't expect things to "just happen" , MAKE THINGS HAPPEN, because life happens with or without your input so make your life amazing. Fill your days with all the things that warm your heart. It doesn't have to be extraordinary, it can be simple and ordinary.

My life is simple and ordinary but you, my sweet, are extraordinary. Thank you for every little smile and hug. Thank you for every single moment. You have changed my life, you have changed your daddy's life (a child does that), but I had NO IDEA just how awesome it would be.
