A long time reader. A wonderful shining spirit. She had a stroke the night of her transplant. She used to email me and comment quite often. I'm tired of writing about people in past tense. She was lovely and beloved.
This just makes my heart hurt.
I can do this. Even with a broken heart.
I was reading through her blog a little more and found this. I know she sent it my way tonight. Thank you, Robbi. Have fun up there with my peeps. Ok. I'll stop crying now.
Prayer of St Francis
Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace;
where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master,
grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
to be understood, as to understand;
to be loved, as to love;
for it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life.
Amen.

Posted by: Tutu at August 20, 2007 04:50 AMOh Deb - I'm so sorry to hear about Robbi. The prayer touched MY heart as well though so her spirit is still alive and reaching out to us.
I am sending you lots of (((HUGS))) and prayers as well for a nice peaceful day.
Sorry, Deb.

What a wonderful spirit she was. What an amazing contribution to so many people's lives she made. I am in awe.
