Guys and Gals--
If you think about it, take a few minutes to pray for my grandparents. My grandmother has been fighting Parkinson's disease for over 30 years and while she has been able to manage it for many years, she is standing on her last legs. She has begun to skip taking her medicine, some days flat-out refusing. She had a stroke a couple days ago and after she is released from the hospital, she'll be put in a nursing home. My grandfather simply cannot care for her any longer.
While you're in prayer for her, if you could also remember him. I talked with him this afternoon and he's just tore up inside. I can only imagine being married for 55 years only to not be able to take care of her any longer. I'll be flying there with my mother on Thursday to do whatever we can to make the transition easier.
I'd appreciate any prayers that could be sent. Mostly that God would just comfort my family. I think most of us are prepared for my grandmother's passing just because due to the nature of her condition, she's stopped being the grandma/mother/friend we've all known. I just want her to be at peace and the beautiful thing is that she will soon be in glory with a perfect mind and body. Thanks in advance--I've got to know a lot of you and consider you friends, and I know she will be covered in prayer.
