Robyn was the embodiment of grace. Everyone who met her had a lasting impression and changed for the better. When people would visit her in the hospital they would praise her for the person she was and I would joke, “Who are they talking about?” She would respond in a whisper, “I have no idea”. She was humble. When she was laid up in hospital bed after hospital bed she had care for others. She would have a heart for Ukraine and send donations while her herself would be dealing with lung rejection. During her transplant she would read well wishes for her on Facebook and would get stressed about writing all these people back individually, and then would. She had a heart for the refugees crossing into Manitoba and would donate her clothes to resources down in Altona for them. 

Ultimately all she wanted was to be a mother. Her life's passion and greatest achievement she would claim.

Robyn mentioned a lot that life is precious. Her being young and coming so close to death multiple times she would say that a lot. On the day she died, as crippling as it was, it was still a day of joy and gratitude. Knowing who God is in Jesus helped us get to that place.Gratitude for what she saw in life and what she accomplished. Gratitude for the extra time that she got to spend with our son. Time she wouldn’t have head if it wasn’t for organ donation.  We didn’t say goodbye we just said “See you later". The unit closed down and all her nurses and Doctors would come to see her off.

A message from Robyn would be: You can’t take it with you so why not give the gift to others more time and a second chance at life. Consider organ donation. Tell your family your intentions and sign up online https://signupforlife.ca/signUp.html

A song that will always be ours is "Always on My Mind" by Willie Nelson. First dance at our wedding and now one that holds such more of a meaning after its original choice.
