With the Angels

My Grandpa passed away this evening. He was one of the funniest people that I've ever met--I definitely see where my Dad gets his sense of humor from.

Please keep my Dad and my family in your thoughts and prayers. This has been a hard journey for us and I'm still in shock...I'm so, so sad right now.

I love you, Grandpa...I know you are soaring high with the angels.

Grandpa, May of 2008

*I'll be away from my computer for awhile...I'll let you all know when I'm back. Love you all and thank you all for your prayers through his battle with lung cancer. 

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.
