Mama called me a little while ago. We are not going to Duke tomorrow. They are going to take Amie off the respirator. The doctor is not sure how long she will be able to last after they remove it, but he is sure she cannot breathe on her own. Amie has fought a long hard fight and tomorrow may be the last day of her life. If it is, we all will be at peace knowing that she lived life to the fullest of her abilities that she embraced her life in every way she possibly could. She knows we all love her and we know she loves us. This is so hard for me because not only am I losing someone I love, I am losing her to cystic fibrosis… UGH!! I have to take refuge in the fact when she does take her last breath, that she will not be in anymore pain, she will not have to take any more medicine, she will not have to have someone pound on her anymore. She will be in God’s safe arms, in His presence. I pray to God for peace for her and all of the family.

Amie is a part of our lives that will never die. She brought laughter and tears to our family. The memories will last a life time. And yes, she lived her life the best she could and shared her love with everyone. She will be greatly missed but loved. God will have her in the palm of His hands and yes, she will feel no more pain, ONLY Laughter. I thank God for allowing us to share in her love and learn so much through her. I know it is hard for you, Robin. You were the big sister for Amie and you spent a lot of time with her. Peace to you, my daughter. I love you. mama
