    I'm asking for prayers for my grandma today. She just lost her husband (my step-grandfather) a couple hours ago when he his heart stopped in the hospital after a surgery for colon cancer. She has been with him for 30 years and is alone and completely devastated. My mom is trying to get to her as soon as she can but if anyone here could just send up a prayer to help her find strength to cope while she is all alone until family can get there, it would mean a lot to us. I just got off the phone with her and it broke my heart to hear her so bereft. I feel so incredibly helpless and all I can do is ask for prayers for her.

    Thank you.

    It just keeps hitting me and sinking in more and more, and I feel like I should say more about him. His name was Norm and he has been a part of my life since I was about 7 years old. He had his problems but he was a very kind and big-hearted man and he loved doing things for people. He was so talented with building and wood work. I remember he made me a miniature stable for my Breyer horses, that I still have. He liked to make little wood animal figurines and paint them. He was just as talented at making big things as those smaller things. He had built workshops, chicken coops, even made an insert for the truck bed to make it a mini camper type thing with carpeting, two carpeted benches on either side with a middle insert that fit between to make a bed.

    He took me fishing, drove us on Tablerock Lake in his boat. He even would go swimming in the lake with me, let me ride on his tractor mower with his homemade little trailer to haul firewood and various things. We even went bike riding together. He designed and built the deck on our house where I spent most of my growing up years. He loved to laugh and tease and joke. He would sit and socialize with anyone.

    Grandma loved him so much. I keep hearing her tearful voice as she said she cannot imagine life without him there. I just hope she can find some peace and strength. He would want that for her too.

    I'm praying that your Grandma and you and your family will be eventually able to find some peace thinking of all the wonderful times they shared over the last thirty years.

    I just got a phone call from my mom. I was out for 45 minutes today and missed an earlier phone call (I've ignored my answering machine because it's just bill collectors ).

    My dad is in the hospital with either a pulmonary embolism or lung cancer. He's had 3 separate bypass surgeries before, and facial reconstruction and surgery for skin cancer last year on top of all of this. Now they said there is a clotting issue...

    I'm worried because they had him on Prednisone for a long time, then took him off of that and put him on something else, and he also gets that once a week(I think it's every week) shot for his arthritis, and it has all kinds of side effects.

    Please keep him in your thoughts. He's been a hard working farmer all his life, and has gone through so much between heart problems and cancer, this is just really scary right now.

    Please pray for two guys on my street: Bobby and Chris. Both have just gone through such a horrible ordeal with their pets.

    Prayers for everyone that I've missed lately.
    I'm learning more with my new Bible I got.I got the easiest one to read and still it's a lot memory that I already can't do...but hey,I am trying...just never read the whole Bible before growing up.
    Always seemed to difficult to read.

    I've been very busy with this house we moved in plus my back is soooo bad.
    And of course I need to be with my cats more than be on the computer or I won't have happy cats
    Please be well everyone...my thoughts are with you all.

    Thank You Kim for this wonderful siggy

    Thinking and praying for you, Robin. I hope to catch you on IM soon, my work hours have been very irregular.

    Sending prayers and thoughts to all those in need.

    I'd also like to thank everyone for the prayers for my grandma after losing her soulmate. She is a strong lady and is hanging in there.
