Journal entry by Mike Schutz —
I'm heartbroken. We lost Robyn this afternoon. I know we said those words in our vows but I never imagined it could happen so soon or hurt so much.
She had been having more complications over the past couple of days that slowed and ultimately reversed her progress. She fought as hard and as long as she could but ultimately couldn't overcome all the complications. She was with people who loved her from the moment she was first admitted until the very last and the support from everyone has been overwhelming. I know she appreciated all your wishes and encouragement.
As I write this, I'm on a plane from Reno to Seattle to get home as soon as possible to try to explain to Ella, Zach, and Bryce that Mom's not coming home before they find out from anyone else. Bill and Kara rushed me to the airport to catch the last flight out and are even packing up my luggage in the hotel and bringing it home for me because I just rushed out so I could see the kids and Steve tonight. I have no idea what I'm going to say but Robyn is going to give me the strength I need and we will get through it together, just like she would want us to do. I can't wait to see them to grieve together. I will post this after we talk.
Thank you for the support.
Mike
