It's been about 44 hours since my mom left us...since she went to be with Christ...and I miss her a lot. She was the BEST mom a girl could ask for. She loved me unconditionally. She supported everything about me and was ALWAYS there for me. She was truly my rock that never faltered. I will miss her more than I can ever describe.
I am so sad.
Yet I am thankful too.
I am thankful that He took her before her suffering grew worse.
I am thankful that we had some wonderful times this past year and I had (and took) the chance to tell her how very much I love her and thank her for all she has done for me.
I am so thankful that He is in control and has shown that in many ways.

It is such a sad and joyful time. So confusing.....
please keep my family (and especially PapaLou) in your prayers as we all deal with her being gone.
I know I'll see her again one day...but dang, that's a long time away.

   I am praying for you, Robin, and thinking of your mom, who, like Paul, is discovering today her new and glorified body, free of weakness, illness, and grief. "For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. To depart [is to] be with Christ, which is better by far." (Philippians 1:21-23) I know she is perfecting a dance to show you when you arrive at the Eastern gate. May the Comforter be your strength!
