Corrine had a good day today. She was able to rest well and experienced only minor, intermittent pain. Pearly, her elder sister, was able to spend a good part of the day with Corrine at her bedside. It was a very special time for both of them.
My girls (Anna age 2 and Camille age 4) are doing super. When they are around my mother is the most alert with a great big smile. It is amazing to me how children can light up a room and how willing they are to love regardless of one's circumstances. One of the highlights for Susanna and I was watching Camille read (actually recite by memory) a bedtime story to their grandmother before bed tonight. Very special indeed.
I asked my mother not long ago what advice she might have for those of us she leaves behind. The answer was two fold: First, pursue Jesus and second "simplify". I continue to reflect on these words as we continue down this road.
One last thought before I sign off for the night regarding prayer. Remember how Jesus prayed. "Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven."
Until tomorrow...
