Today, a little miracle turns five.

Today, a little miracle turns five.

This is Ava — my heart, my strength, my reason to keep moving forward when the road feels heavy. Through loss and quiet nights filled with unanswered questions, it has been just us, hand in hand, learning how to stand again.

Adorable little girl on father’s hands. Cute baby girl laughing. Father with daughter in the city.

She may be small, but her spirit is vast. In her laughter, I’ve learned resilience. In her curiosity, I’ve rediscovered wonder. In her smile, I’ve found hope on days when hope felt distant.

Ava teaches me every day that love does not need to be loud to be powerful, and courage can live gently inside a child’s heart. She reminds me that even after broken moments, life still blooms in the most beautiful ways.

Happy 5th Birthday, Ava. You are more than a blessing — you are deeply loved, endlessly cherished, and forever my greatest miracle.
