Journal entry by Amy Daugherty —
Well, I am having a hard time believing that just 2 weeks ago I was writing about the great news we had received and then to pass two weeks later. It doesn’t seem fair, but the reality is that she was in severe pain and suffered daily. The treatments were so incredibly hard on her body and your body can only take so much. She had the will to continue even through the pain because she wanted so much to see more events and celebrations with our family. I know that she is reunited with granny, her dad and brothers, and even more family and friends including her best friend who died when she was 16. This seems so joyous and peaceful but our earthly selfish nature just wants them back here despite everything else. I am desperately trying to find comfort and peace knowing that she met Jesus and is fully restored again in heaven.
