Oh Honey, I Really Miss You.

A friend of mine recently shared a blog with me. It’s the most beautiful blog that I have ever encountered. So beautiful that it has stayed with me, and been in my thoughts many times every day since. I can’t stop thinking about it. I don’t want to stop thinking about it.

The blog is of photographer Sheye Rosemeyer. Her photography is amazing. She is very talented.

I read most of the blog in one sitting whilst cradling my sleeping little bubba. After each post my heart was aching and I couldn’t breathe. My tears were falling onto Lacey’s soft milky skin.

Sheye lost her beautiful little girl two years ago. You can read her sad story here. You will need tissues. Here is an excerpt:

On Saturday the 3rd of February, on a very “normal”day in our normal, happy life, our World was shattered. In short, our beautiful daughter Ava got into our car which was, unusually, parked in full sun in the middle of the day. She had been with Grandad who lives next door (we have one wall around both properties) and said she was returning to my house but in fact went searching for something in the car. We always lock it. Just not that day. Once she got in she shut the door and was not able to find her way back out.
Our princess fought so bravely for two days in ICU but on Monday the 5th of February, she flew to Heaven.
I am sharing because I feel like I have to. I feel like Ava’s story is staying with me because she was such a beautiful soul, and because through awareness we might be able to save other little lives.

You can visit Ava’s Memorial Site and light a candle to honour her beautiful little life.

Hug your loved ones a little tighter today. xx

  1. That is such a sad blog that one, I have looked at it before (they live on the Gold Coast) and it is such a reminder about the things that can happen so fast.

    I hope you’re feeling better now, flu + heatwave + earache + sleep deprivation sounds so awful. The sleep deprivation wears you down so you become a magnet for sickness.

  2. I know the family that lost their 2 boys about 10 years ago now by them playing and getting trapped in the car. How would you go on?

    Thankyou and I’ll have a read later on when I can give it my full attention.

  3. I saw that blog the other day too and it had a very similar impact on me. It has made me stop and cherish what I do have, such a sad story.

  4. Oh goodness how heartbreaking.
    I am holding my 3 mth old in his nappy right as I am reading this, then my nearly 3 yr old boy gave me a kiss goodnight and said ‘nigh nigh’ too! It makes you think how you could go on if something like this happened to you!
    I won’t sigh tonight now at 3am when Lachie wakes for a feed, I will smile and be glad I have a child to feed!
