“About my Avani, weren’t you a scary pregnancy, my baby had I was in the hospital for a month fighting for both of our lives but nothing but God brought both us through. Watching you grow as if you never came a month and a week earlier than expected. The doctor and nurses were surprised at how much progress was made and being such a healthy baby. You were 4 months, you slept well and only woke up one time through the night to eat, you ate just fine, I never seen or heard any disabilities at all. I just thank God for bringing us both through but really just you.”

I love you my Vani Baby,

Mommy.

"From the day that you first came home, I was a proud father. You had a sister waiting for your arrival and your mother was always there for us. We all had a good time together in the four months that we had gotten to share with you. I will never forget the times that I was able to make you laugh and smile. I will never forget you, you will always be in my heart forever and always."

I love you my Vani Bear,

Daddy.
