| Anna Grylls update December 29th #2 |
Thank you all so much for all the comments, texts, emails, calls, food... I’m reminded of how I started out the very first blog on Anna, 17 months ago: “We are awed and humbled at the outpouring of love we have felt in the last day over Anna. God's love has been poured out across this country and around the world, and we are so blessed to be a part of His family.”
We slept a lot today - the last week has been exhausting. It was a kind of emotional day, but in a good way. The children kept us laughing. I think we all “heard” Anna needing to be suctioned at some point during the day, or went to check on her, only to discover that she wasn't there… We are all just so glad that she is not suffering any more.
Since we spent the day sleeping, we have not been able to make any firm plans regarding Anna’s funeral, but we hope to get it all worked out tomorrow. Our very tentative thought is to have visitation on Friday evening, and funeral service this Saturday, January 3rd. But this is very tentative so please do not buy any airplane tickets yet – we will hopefully confirm everything by tomorrow evening. The location of the service etc. is to be determined but it will be in Lima OH somewhere. Everyone is welcome. Everyone.
For those who can’t make it in person, we are not sure whether we will be able to stream the service live on the internet, but we will at the very least video it and get it online as soon afterwards as we can. We’ll let you know.
We are also working on the question of flowers. We’ll let you know on that also.
The strangest part of the day came at 7pm this evening. Stephanie (Anna’s nurse for tonight) didn’t come walking through the door…
I will keep posting on this blog at least until after the funeral, and until all is said that needs to be said.
Anna’s life, and death, are to the Glory of God! Thank you Jesus for healing Annie B!
God bless,
Richard
