Baby Avery was not expected to live past age 2. Her dad decided to keep a bucket list of things they hoped she would get to do. They were meant to be lighthearted and hopeful. After starting the blog to let friends and family know how Avery was doing with her disorder her dad added the bucket list. Her genetic disorder caused her to have pulmonary issues causing her lung to collapse and put her in cardiac arrest. The bucket list got 2.4 million views. The readers thought it was Avery's mother who wrote about Avery. Baby Avery passed away at 6 months old on April 30.
This story strikes very close to home. I feel for Avery's parents. To know that your baby may not live is such a horrible experience. No parent should ever have to know that pain. It leaves you feeling helpless. I hope Avery's parents can eventually feel peace. I refuse to say that everything happens for a reason because I can't stand when people say that to me. I know it wouldn't matter to them what I think since I don't know the family but I sincerely hate that they had to lose their little girl. I do think she is in a better place and she is no longer in pain. That is the only plus side to something so tragic.
