Prayers for an Amazing Man



It's been 14 months since I wrote this post.

The post where we learned my Grandpa has lung cancer.

14 months have gone by since that nite that I received the worst kind of news.

News that nobody ever ever wants to hear about someone they love.

My Grandpa is not doing very well.  I just found this out tonite.

A part of me always gets a little sick when the phone rings late at nite.  Or when you can just tell that something isn't the way it should be.

Such was the case when I talked to my Mom on the phone tonite.  She had text me to see if I had gotten her text.  {Isabella broke my BlackBerry's ball...ugh.}.

I could just tell it was about my Grandpa.

I don't want to go into a lot right now.  Just know that he has Stage 4 small cell lung cancer.  And he has been fighting so, so hard for 14 months.

He is a hero.  A man who is so funny--he loves life.  Loves his family.  Loves the Cubs.

Can you remember to say a prayer for him?  Add him to your prayer list?

I could never thank you enough for thinking of us and praying for him.  I have seen the power of prayer work before.  I know prayer can do an amazing thing for someone, for a family.

Thank you, friends.  I could never, ever tell you how much you touch my heart.
