One note affixed to a mirror read “Hello beautiful” alongside a smiley face, with another stuck to his treadmill that read, “Just keep running, just keep running.”
He also credited Ava for helping him heal after his accident in a touching post to mark her 10th birthday in March. On his Instagram story alongside a sweet message, Renner shared a photo of the the duo with his daughter’s face blocked by a Purple Heart sticker.
“So very proud of you in every way,” he wrote in part. “Your hugs and your love, have healed me so incredibly fast. I stand up for you, and I am stronger than before because of you.”
