ava

I can,t stop crying. It brings it all back, the initial shock, the fear,the stress, the heartache and most of all, the sadness of watching little Ava go through all that treatment. These shots tell a story that has taken such a long time to get to this stage. Right now I am (still crying) so filled with pride that my wonderful family stuck together and gave support as best we could. Looking at these pics of Kel’s face makes me realise the love that a mother has for her children. Ali I am in awe of you as you need not have written the story as these shots tell the story all on their own.

These photos tell such an intense story Ali. I’m so glad the preliminary results are good and crossing fingers that the next round of results are good. Xx

Ali, this is such a beautiful documentation of such a difficult situation – bitter sweet. I think I held my breath the whole time I scrolled through the images and read what you wrote. Thank goodness for a good result. And you’re right – everything will be ok. Ava is so lucky to have a beautiful supportive family, and your sister is lucky to have you. Thank you so much for sharing these my friend. Lots of love to you x

Ali you have truly captured something so special…the photo’s have bought me to tears. What a dear, dear little girl Ava is and what a loving family you have. Big hugs to all xx

The photo of Kel kissing Ava as she has just gone under says everything. I can see all her hopes and prayers in that kiss. I hope they all come true xx

Oh beautiful brave Ava. I truly wish you get the final, final all clear she so deserves. Such an amazing little girl x

My darling Ali, thank you for sharing these beautiful photos. I have tears in my eyes being able to see what you have all gone through. Ava is so incredibly brave and the results are everything she and the family deserves. Kel has been an absolute pillar of strength through it all and I know so much of that strength comes from having such a fabulous and strong family to support her and Ava. I wish I hadnt been so far away during this really difficult time for you all but just know that my thoughts have been and still are with you all. I love you my darling dearest friend, your talent to capture the moment in film is truly breathtaking…Niki x

Oh Al, words just can’t describe the emotion in these photos. I looked at them last night and cried, I looked at them again today – and cried again! God bless little Ava, what an incredibly amazing little angel. She will grow up and have an incredible journey to look back on. She has been through more in her short years so far than most do in a lifetime. Kel, you are one of THE most amazing people I know, I have such admiration and respect for you. You are a credit to all your family. Al, you know I think the world of you. Your work is just divine. Health and happiness, Marn xoxo

Hi Ali,Being someone who is still in the process a little further along than Kell and Ava, I can’t believe how you have captured this amazingly. I only wish Ben had let me take the photos I wanted but it wasn’t to be. When something like this happens you try and look for the good in it, wherever you can. For me, it’s some of the people I have met, I always knew I was a strong person, because I’ve had to be, but this is something you don’t ever really think you’ll have to endure. I have to say, meeting these two girls have been one of the positive things to come out of this horrible experience:}

I am crying right now….I am so overwhelmed with everything. I can’t even put words together, so I am not going to try too hard right now, but I have loads of emotions running through me…and I have such appreciation for my sister being able to actually stand there and take pictures of her neice undergoing her final surgery, who she so dearly loves, that must have been so hard. She did tell me she was shaking when they were putting her under, and I totally understand how hard that would have been for you Ali. You did a great job and I love you. Deb and Maria…also reading your words just now…just cracked me. You both know so well…after having gone through exactly what we have..who ever thought our babies would get cancer…but they did, and they survived…and we have shared so much…and I love you both xx

Kelly I am so delighted to hear of Ava’s result and I’m quite sure that the worst is now behind you all. You and your family have been amazing in how you have dealt with Ava’s illness.Until people , particularly parents are placed in this terrible predicament they have no idea of just how draining and emotional times like these are. Please give Ava a big kiss from Uncle Lee and once again great news

What a heartwrenching post, Ali. Beautifully captured in images by you. Hoping with all my heart the good news continues for Ava. xo

I truely hope the news are the best you could hope for.Ava is a very brave little girl and she’s gorgoes, She should keep calm and drink chocolate milkshakes.STAY STRONG FOREVER LITTLE AVA………………<3 Xx
