Tribute to Nova Henry and Ava Safiyah Henry-Curry

ppp-002I’ve had a 3 years of confusion, frustration, and exhaustion. But along with that have come many blessings received and given. It seems like just yesterday I was calling you to tell you that I was on my way to come do your hair and help get the kids ready. As usual I had a last minute change in schedule but when I tried to call you back I got no answer.  Being the persistent mom that I am, I decided that I was coming anyway, maybe you were just out at the store.

Opening the door to your house changed my life forever in the worse way! I try not to see that door but it’s always there. I just know that God opened his door as well and took you and Ava to live with him. Noah knows this too. That’s what I’ve told him.  I’m sorry that you had to encounter such a demon that couldn’t understand your light that shone so bright, that’s why your Name was NOVA (SUPERNOVA: THE BRIGHTEST SHINING STAR!)…and Ava…I guess she was just here for a short while to come and get you cause God saw your pain and struggles, and he said NO MORE.

I’m comforted with the belief that you have no more pain or worries. I’m blessed to have had the greatest 24 years of my life with you. I remember when I became pregnant with you (last year of High School)..and I thought “Oh God” what will I do with a baby, I was set to go to college, have a career as an ATTORNEY (OF ALL THINGS..LOL.)..and live the jet set life of a single lady!..but I felt you in my womb and knew..not yet..This baby must be born..so I set it all aside for you..and I thank God for the chance to have done that..and I thank you for choosing me as your Mommi, and thank Ava for being her Gramma.  She was just learning to call me MAMA..:)..I remember her snapping her little fingers and dancing like you did. You were a great mom to both of your children. (Noah and Ava). You sacrificed as well for them..You gave your life for them.

I told everyone to meet me at church on Sunday to remember you and hear a good word. I don’t wanna go to the cemetery cause I don’t feel you there..just death..and you and Ava are life personified to me..So with the Spirit of Memories I will sit in the pews tomorrow and pray for what your life was and how your woes can help others..Missing my Missy and my Chocomama ladygirl….

ALWAYS AND FOREVER. I know you watch over us. We love you and miss you. Mommi.

    Wow i all i can do is cry and pray as i read this this is just the worst thing ever for a child and mom to go with so much more to offer and to be tooken away by a monster! No words can express how i feel for the family i pray Noah has happiness through this all.

    I’m so sorry to hear about this, as late as it is. Ava means “Heaven’s Voice” or “sky” or “birdlike” all the definitions I’ve came across for the name Ava is of a heavenly nature. I pray that you find comfort and peace and that you see Nova and Ava in the beauty around you.
