Avery Davis Memorial Fund

Many of my friends and family who did not know a friend of mine supported me while I was raising money for the "Avery Davis Memorial Fund" Since not everyone is on Facebook, I wanted to post the thank you and Avery's Eulogy from the Davis' Family.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all of my friends and family who showed support. None of could imagine having to endure the hardships the Davis' have endured. To follow is the Thank You message written by the Davis Family and then the Eulogy given at Avery's Funeral.

Jim, Abby & I would like to thank everyone for the card, prayers and money that was sent to us. This year has been unimanigible. This journey has been beyond difficult, losing Avery has put everything in our lives in perspective, and has made us stronger as a family and has made us realize how precious life is. Avery Michael was born silently on February 10th, at 11:50 a.m. weighting 5 lbs, 6 ounces and was 21 inches long. Jim, my mom and myself got to spend a significant amount of time with him, holding him and kissing him. He was a beautiful little boy, blonde hair and blue eyes. He looked just like Abby when she was born, such a precious life taken way too soon. Our hearts are continuing to heal, although our lives will never be the same, knowing we have such caring friends and family in our lives mean more to us than you can imagine.

We thank each and everyone of you who donated. We truly appreciate your thoughtfulness and kindness. Also, please DO-NOT hesitate to call us anytime, both Jim and myself we love talking about Avery and that is a way of for us to heal, we are proud of him, he will be a part of our lives forever.

Thank you again,

The Davis'

Eulogy from the Funeral.

I feel like I am living in a bad dream,

this can't be real,

the hole in my heart is surreal,

the wound ever so deep,

the love that I have for you every so sweet,

my arms ache in pain,

I feel at times I am going insane,

I want you,

I need you,

I feel the need to explore every inch of you,

I kissed you from head to toe,

how beautiful you are,

forever in my heart,

I picture your first's,

playing in the dirt,

your first cry,

the cries I hear in the night,

only to wake up in a panic,

going from room to room,

searching for you,

only to come to the realization these things will never be,

there will be no firsts,

no diapers, no 1 am feedings,

no cries in the night,

only emptiness inside,

your big sister how she loves you so,

I can't fix this, no-one can,

I don't want to hear "God has a plan,"

my plan was to hold a baby in hand,

my God doesn't cause pain,

he will only help heal,

although I don't think that's possible,

My Precious Little Avery,

I can't express my pain,

my baby,

my little boy,

how you will be missed, until one day,

I will walk into the loving arms of the Lord,

will I meet with you again,

arms stretched open wide,

only then will be complete.

Love, Mommy

I have stuff to do....

Dear Allergies:

I have stuff to do. I do not have time for all of this itching and stuffiness. You're driving me nuts. I'm finding myself praying for rain. I looked you up today on line, Mr. Allergy, and it says the tree pollen is "Very High". Tomorrow you are supposed to go down some....how about this....just go away. NOBODY wants you here!! You ARE NOT welcome.

I have a craft room that was supposed to be cleaned up, laundry to do, general housekeeping duties, a life to live and YOU ALLERGIES are screwing it all up! Oh and by the way Mr. Allergy I have a 3 1/2 year old that wants nothing more than to be outside right now. Can you see how you are really messing everything up? I'm so drugged up right now I feel like Sid Vicious. I got my hair done tonight and look super cute and I don't even care! All because of you and your selfish ways.

So please, please please go back to where you came from. The only ones happy to have you are Puffs Plus with Lotion and Claritin D and Mucinex D and Tylenol and....wait....is that too many drugs for one day?
