Pray Even More


This is by far the worst part of my job -- my sweet little Brenzelle passed away last night, no big drama, just gone. Please pray for her family and her nurse. She had a wonderful sense of humor, a great crooked smile and she taught me a thing or two about being a good friend. She didn't love me because I am thin or rich (because obviously, I am neither), nor because I'm particularly funny, smart or pretty. She just liked to see me a few times a week and hope I didn't make her work too hard. Frannie met her once and was a little scared maybe because she moved in an unusual way, but she never forgot her name and still occasionally says "Bwenzelle" out of the blue.

I hope she's now eating a big fat cheeseburger, fries and an ice cream sundae, because she has never experienced that before in her short life. She ate via tube. I hope she is climbing a tree, petting a dog or having a day without pain or discomfort (because I don't think she knows what any of that was ever like either). God bless you Yolanda for being such a good and loving Mom.

What a cutie and I know that you will miss her dearly. You were both pretty lucky to learn from one another.

Dear El, thanks for being who you are, and loving all you love. I'll pray for this family, for you, and for Frannie who is learning so much from her momma. xox
