Corrine had a good day yesterday. Pain free, and peaceful. It is amazing how each of us are experiencing some of our last moments with Corrine in very different ways. God's grace is shining thru as we sit, care, read, and pray with her.
Last night, Corrine was having glimpses of Heaven. Corrine must have been seeing the feast prepared just for her when she woke up and asked for a hamburger. I think they must be preparing a BBQ. Corrine always enjoyed a good western BBQ with red paisly napkins. I wonder who will be gathered at the table?
This morning, Corrine was contemplative as we gathered around her bed. First Corrine assured us "It's not that hard. " "What do you mean?" we asked. "Dying" Corrine said with a pause, as if gathering strength to continue. "I thought it would be much harder. It's not painful, I'm not afraid."
Breathing slow and deeply, Corrine continued with tears in her eyes. "Am I being mean? I don't want to be mean" And we assured her, truthfully, that she was being a great patient. Corrine has been a gift to us through this process.
Corrine then took the time to address each of us, Steve, Don, Rod and I individually.
God is Good, there is nothing to fear. God is taking care of us and giving Corrine the courage to continue on her journey peacefully!
We look forward to seeing how the day unfolds...

To all of Corrine's Family:
ReplyDeleteYou are all in our thoughts and prayers. There's not a minute that goes by that Corrine is not in our thoughts. Preparation for heaven is so peaceful which is such a comfort for us. As we visited your home yesterday, we just felt God's overwhelming presence and peace. Words cannot describe what our hearts want to share with you. What can we say - we'll just pray.
With all our love and prayers,
Harry, Jen, Mikayla & Amariah Brown
