Last line tag

I was tagged by @heyabella Thanks so much

Here’s the last lines I wrote in Out of Afterlife.

“She has my permission,” Robin whispered, but Astrid couldn’t hear it over the feeling of blood. Her voice was too slight against the warmth of her dying. Without a sound heard, she was gone.

From chapter 14 of Out of Afterlife

Oops spoiler alert, Robin dies. This was a really fun chapter for me to write and really difficult. 

Please give me the last few lines you wrote in your WIP or ignore this if you’re too busy @raevenlywrites @milkyway-writes @hell-yeah-fantasy

One of my favorite musicians has dementia. This was shared several months ago but it didn't make the news, only Facebook.

He wrote some world famous songs but most Christians I've met have not heard of him (Robin Mark, who wrote "Days of Elijah")

He wrote and covered so many amazing hymns in a CCM-Celtic style. It feels traditional, not like the poppy CCM you're used to hearing (not that it's bad ofc, just Robin Mark's style is so distinctive.)

If this is your first time hearing of him, please listen to his Revival album and his work with The Mandate. The collab with Stuart Townend is really good.

I discovered his music as a young teen when I had no religious community outside of those I found online. His work meant a lot to me even before I knew who he was.

A little update about Robin

I just want to thank all our friends on Facebook who have been asking how Robin is keeping. Your love and care mean a lot, so I thought we should give a quick update, especially since some people are still wanting to book Robin to come and lead worship.

Unfortunately, what first appeared as a sight problem some years ago was later diagnosed as a rare form of Alzheimers (PCA). This horrible disease starts by affecting how the brain processes what the eyes see. Robin would explain that he could see a glass on the table, but when he went to pick it up it would suddenly move.

Robin has faced this with incredible courage and grace, and we have been able to travel and enjoy life. However, over these past few years, the illness has progressed. His sight has worsened, and Robin now finds it difficult to remember things and can at times forget words in conversation. Now this is incredibly difficult for Robin as he has always loved words and writing songs.

Yet through it all, no matter how difficult things get for Robin, I have to say that he never complains. He still has his sense of humour which many of you know and love. But the same cannot be said for myself, I am constantly complaining to God about how difficult this is for both of us. Because as I’m sure a lot of you know, it is very difficult to watch your loved ones suffer. That’s no excuse and most of the time we are good. We are deeply grateful to Robin’s friends and band members who regularly call, visit and go for coffee, which is incredibly kind of them as I know that is getting more challenging, but I know that Robin loves it!

We still sometimes go down to our house in Newcastle beside the sea and take a walk down to the harbour. This always reminds me of the song Robin wrote about Billy Spence, so it felt fitting to share this now. https://spotify.link/xPMMHBSTMXb

Thank you again for your love, friendship and prayers.

God bless,

Jacqueline
