Jill Patience Browning is on everyone's mind tonight, as we all go to bed counting our blessings and thinking of those we love. I've been thinking about her all day, just like so many others. My mind kept flashing back to pictures she's posted during this time, always smiling, always trudging on. We are all better people for having known her. I've watched and cheered her on as best I could and tonight as I go to bed, my heart isn't heavy because man she's fought such a great fight, all with a smile on her face and I know who she will be meeting when her fight is ended. Tonight with tears streaming down my face, having lost my mother to the same fight, I cheer her on into glory! Father receive my friend, comfort us in our loss, give us beauty for our ashes and I thank you she won't be sick anymore. I thank you there won't be another chemo treatment for her to suffer. I thank you for her life and the inspiration she's been to all of us. I thank you for the countless prayers we've sent up on her behalf. I thank you for preparing a place for her and loaning her to us while we were here together. Be with her family Lord, replace their tears with peace and comfort and laughter and let us always remember the great warrior she taught each and every one of us to be!
