Robin has gone Home

I told you about my friend, Kathy, a few months ago. (You can find that on Aug. 3, 2007) Kathy has been a wonderful friend for a long time, and along the way, I've met a lot of family members. Not all that many years ago, I met Kathy's sister, Robin. She moved here and we shared a love for Yorkies and she loved on my kids, just like Kathy. A few months ago we learned that Robin had brain cancer and she has gone steadily downhill. On Monday I found out that Robin had been put in Hope Hospice, on Tuesday I went to see her, and last night, her fight was finally over and she went Home. Robin leaves behind two daughters with little ones, another sister, and even her mother. As I tried to take it all in and process it last night, I was reminded of when my mom died. I've learned something very important through her death-well, a lot of things, really! I always thought my salvation experience was about me, about me going to heaven one day. What I realized through mom's death, was not only was SHE going to heaven, but her salvation left ME sure of her destination! What greater gift to leave your family with? I have such comfort because of her decision to accept Christ. Robin did the same thing. She has left those that she loves here with the assurance of where she is today, and what a comfort that is! Please say a prayer today for my friends that have suffered a great loss.
