Prayers for your grandpa and uncle.
prayers for all of our friends who need them
Prayers for everyone who's asked, and those who have asked silently.
Please keep our Sherman in mind, that he recovers from pneumonia without any more complications.
More prayers going out - for healing, for brokenness to be made whole - that through everyone here, miracles may come.
All battles reconciled.
All people and animals with love and forever homes.
And peace everywhere.

Prayers for you all.
I'd like to ask for a few for the quick healing of my leg.
may we all be blessed, may we all feel the love of the divine, may all be well. anem.
We're visiting my Papa in a bit - I'll be equiped with the chocolate chip cookies he requested.
I appreciate everyone thinking of us.
The visit went well with my Papa.
He is VERY emotional. VERY. My dad says he thinks he's getting worse. I wouldn't know, but my dad has seen him this way more than I have so he would.
He enjoyed and ate 2 cookies and a brownie while we were there (I made him some truffle brownies, too.) We went outside and sat on one of the tables in the courtyard. There's an aviary out there, too.
He seems to be making friends there. But he also kept saying how he wanted to come home. He'd go on about how he loves my grandmother and then start crying saying that he's sorry he's put her through this (his breakdowns.) We tried comforting him and telling him that she understands and loves him too, or else she wouldn't have stuck by him for so long.
Right now, it's not looking too well. I don't know if he'll ever be able to return home.
Sorry for yacking on.
*edited to add*
I wanted to get others opinions on this..
I was thinking of making a collage of photos - of my grandmother, us, his dogs, etc. and giving it to him the next time I see him. My dad thinks this may make him too emotional. I'm sort of leaning that way, too, but at the same time I want him to know that we all love him and want him to get better.
I don't know... what do you think?
I think collage is always a wonderful idea, a really great reminder of how many beloved people are around him when he is alone in the hospital. getting emotional could be a joy?
more prayers out to everyone requested.
update on the kids, they all are gone now - back to their grandmother and father. not that I mind, but back to my (and resting) schedule is nice too! having five kids and all furkids altogether was an interesting experience. :) also werid to see no kids here anymore. :( I love kids though.
the fathers will be out of jail on august 28th, at the end of their parole. I hope that means the girls will never have to leave their fathers again! and wish them living happily after.
I'll be remaining the little girls' fathers and the mother in my prayers and thanks everyone who said a prayer for us.
be thinking of each of you..
My friend's mother is in the hospital with leukemia. She was originally given an excellent prognosis, but has gone downhill recently. She now is waiting on a bone marrow transplant which will probably not buy her much time. There is a *small* chance she'll be OK after the transplant, but odds are she's just putting off the inevitable.
She is the sweetest lady anyone could ever meet. When my friend knew someone in high school who wound up homeless due to an abusive parent, this lady took the kid in and adopted him. That's just the type of person she is, she is absolutely amazing.
Vibes that this transplant is successful, the world needs loving people like her in it.
kay, i say make it, and then consult with his doctors and nurses before you give it to him. if they think it'll be too hard for him, they will tell you so.Quote:

Prayers for those that need them.
My uncle Joel passed on today.
They were supposed to have his triple heart valve replacement surgery on Tuesday. They moved it to Thursday. He had a 50/50 chance of making it.
My poor mother was in tears. It's rare to see her upset like that. She has collected herself because she said he wouldn't want everyone to be upset. He'd want everyone to still celebrate the 4th.
One of the things my mom said was that she wasn't going to be able to say goodbye to him. I really wish I could get her out there somehow. I really really wish. I didn't know my uncle Joel too much, since we're so far away, however, seeing my mom so upset had me in tears as well.
:( :( Rest well, Uncle Joel.....
prayers for all who need them
Kay, I'm sorry about your uncle. May he rest in peace. :(
Tomorrow is the court date for my brother. Everything is scheduled for tomorrow. Our lawyers have an appellate issue that the judge is suppose to rule on as well as dropping one of the charges and his sentencing. Hopefully the judge will be able to see us since we are last for the day. Tomorrow will be emotional and I don't know what to expect. All I ask for is everyone who can spare a few prayers to pray for my brother and family. Court is at 4pm. :(
Kay, I am really sorry to hear about your Uncle Joel. :(
Amber, I'll be thinking of you.
Thanks for the prayers everyone. We still need them. He was sentenced to 20 years. :( Where is the crying icon?
I'm so sorry Amber. :(
Just like talking to my mom about her brother, I am completely at loss of words. I know there's nothing I could say to make things better, so I just wanted to let you know I'm thinking of you.
Oh, Amber. I am speechless..I am so so sorry. I will definately be thinking of you. {{hugs}} I really can't think of anything to say otherwise..
Kay - I am so sorry about your uncle...and just when he was going to get surgery...
Amber...{{{{hugs}}}}...Did you and your family get to see your brother and talk to him? Will he be close enough so you can visit him?
Take heart...in prison, good behaviour and getting counselling if recommended can really shorten the years. I know it still is a shock...but he may be free sooner than you think.
HUGS and PRAYERS again to Kay and Amber, and all who need them.
In Florida they are required to serve 85% so if he does have good behavior then it will be 17 years. Still sh**ty! We saw him yesterday in the courtroom, he was 20 feet away from us and we still can't hug him. He'll be in the jail he is at now for a little while still since they are still some more court dates yet. The judge denied the appeal motion yesterday so it's next step is to go to the DCA (District Court of Appeals). He has the right to an appellate bond which the judge can deny. Hopefully, the judge will grant him that bond so he can come home until the DCA looks at his case. This law in Florida, 10-20-Life is not made for cases like his. It's made for drive-by shootings and the like, not for my brother's case where he fired shots into the air, not at the people who were coming after him. He either would have had to shoot them as they came into his truck or lie down and take the beating. :confused: :mad: Our family is going to bombard the governor with letters to let him know that this law does not take into account anything other than he fired the gun. My brother has no prior record and he scored low on the sentencing points but since this case falls into that law it doesn't matter. My parents are going to see him tomorrow and he called last night while I was over there. I didn't talk to him just my parents did. This has been the hardest thing my family has ever gone through. He went to church when he got back to the jail yesterday. He has been going ever since he's been in there. What is God's plan for him and my family? Why are we getting stuck with such a shi**y lot in life?
Kay I'm so sorry to hear about your uncle. :( And Amber I'm very sorry to hear about your brother too. :( I wish there was something I could say or do that would help, please know that I'm thinking of you both and your families.
Amber - I pray that the DCA shows some common sense and compassion!
HUGS.
I hope you get to see your brother soon.
-sigh- When it rains, it pours, right?
My Memaw's sister, Bonnie, passed away. Sometime this evening she is driving to Michigan with my aunt to attend her funeral.
As if things weren't stressful enough for my Memaw, with my Papa being sick.
Sorry for overloading this thread. It seems I've posted in here far too much lately.
Kay - not sure what MeMaw is....you mean your mom lost a sister now?
OMG....Prayers big time...for you and all your family.
Someone once said, "Life was scripted by an idiot." At times like this, you have to wonder.
{{{{{hugs}}}}}
My brother-in-law was diagnosed yesterday with untreatable pancreatic cancer. They removed a softball sized tumor that was attached to his liver. The doctors say he's got less than two months, but not to expect two full months...
:(
Scooter's Mom...My heart goes out to you. Prayers first for a miracle. If that is not possible, then for a peaceful time for all your family.
Miracles sometimes happen...I hope it is his turn.

I wanted to add Sherman to this thread, if he hasn't been added already.
Sherman is going through a tough time right now and furmom Pat could sure use a few hugs.

Here we go again.
I don't want to get into details, but please keep us in your thoughts yet again.
We're leaving for North Carolina here in just a few minutes.. kind of a mini vacation that we both need.
My nephew left on July 7th. He flew from here to Istanbul, and then from Istanbul to Ankara. He will be on the archeology site until the middle of August and have a few days to see the city of Istanbul before returning home. This is the team's 10th summer there and they have a good relationship with the people of the nearby village. He was told to dress modestly, nothing very tight or very old and worn out. He will be on a team working with mortar. I'm sure he will learn a lot while he's there. I'll keep you posted.Quote:

I've heard of people who had a month or so, and they lived for about 2-3 more years. It can happen. Just keep hopeful and please keep us updated.Quote:

Prayers for Sherman, Pat, JoJoe and Star.

I just found out about this. My uncle Joel and aunt Marie didn't have insurance. So, my uncle spent about a month in the hospital, uninsured, and now he's gone. My aunt has to deal with the hurt of his passing and now has all of these debts on her plate.
Poor lady. :( :(
Also, my grandfather isn't doing well still. Long story short...
My dad and aunt had him out of the nursing home the other day - for a day visit. He refused to leave and threatened himself. He ended up being baker acted and brought to the hospital. He is now in a new nursing home - my father is visiting him right now. I'll find out more when he gets home.
-sigh-
