Lynnette shares with us the night before and the night that Anna passed away. Some of this section was shared in the Prologue of the book, so it was already familiar to me. I can only imagine how agonizing of a time this was for her and her family. I think that it was a blessing that they got such a perfect evening with her before she went to be with Jesus.
I'm so glad there were many people there to support them through such a difficult time. I like that the children's friends kept them occupied. I think it is sweet that Anna wrote those little notes. I am sure it is a treasured keepsake!! Planning for your child's memorial isn't easy and I could really relate to Lynnette when she said that she didn't have time to be sad because she was busy working to get everything around. I felt the same way. I wanted everything to be perfect and be a wonderful celebration of her life. I think both Lynnette and I achieved that.
(Next week will be all of part 2 of the book and will be the last one.)

To live in the faith that the whole world is on my side, so long as I am true to the best that is in me.
There are many people that care for and love me and as long as I have their support then that is what matters. As long as God is on my side nothing can be against me.

I'm not sure how I originally ended up on your site, Divine intervention perhaps? While I can't exactly understand the loss you have experienced, I am taking a different path down a journey that no parent should ever have to face. 1 1/2 years ago my little girl was diagnosed with a degenerative and fatal neurological condition. Since that time we have watched, hearts breaking, as she has been slowly slipping away. Anyways, what I wanted to say was thank you so much for the play list on this site. It was exactly what my broken spirit needed. Thank you for the reminder to simply trust and that we aren't expected to weather these storms alone.
I am always amazed by the wonderful daughter we raised and how she has become this beautiful, caring, loving creature of GOD. I am so glad he gave you to me and know that you are only mine till HE calls you home. I am hoping it wont be soon as I want my little girl with me. I love who you are and seeing you help others gives me the most pride. xoxox-MOM

Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. Ephesians 4:29
