Even if she never met you, Corrie was the kind of kid to walk up to you.
She’d ask you questions about what you liked.
I write sad and happy posts about Corrie’s life. More than anything, Corrie had the greatest sense of joy and celebration.
Corrie would hope, and I hope, you join someone you love.


If things are closed due to COVID-19, Corrie would want you to find the bubbles. You can never have too many bubbles.
Set up a dance party, but remember a dance party is not a proper dance party unless you dress up.



Find your red, white and blue. Put on blue high heels with a bright red shirt.
If anyone says anything to you, say, “I’m living my best life.”
A 4th of July kind of life is a Corrie kind of life.
Fireworks, drama, bold colors.
Silliness, lots of sweets like strawberry short cakes, and those you love.
Or, as she said on Mother’s Day, “You can do what you want.”


Some days, I have moments when I write the saddest pieces, or when I cry. Corrie would not want us to grieve on a day like this because she’d already be outside with the puppies or on her scooter.
Celebrate a Corrie kind of 4th because I believe she is dancing for her Grandaddy right now.

Corrie was a great dancer!
And I’m pretty sure that right now, she will be dancing for grandpa 🤗
And both of them will be very happy 😃
Vincent, Thank you so much for commenting! I am sure she is dancing for her grandfather, also.
You are welcome 🙏
Yes, she sure is 💐💐but this time, she’s dancing in a white skirt
I believe it! One day before she died, she told her aunt to look at her spinning with pretend wings because “I’m an angel.”
And she truly is an angel 👼 ❤️❤️and we as been an angel to you and all of us
So heartwrenchingly beautiful 💞💞
