Thanks for asking about grandpa.

Papa is doing as best as expected - he was diagnosed with leukemia at the beginning of this month. They currently have him in another nursing home. He likes it better there as it's a lot easier for him and a lot less stressful for my grandmother. I'm not sure if they've started treatments or what not for the leukemia.

I feel bad about it, but I try not to ask for updates about him too often. I really worry about losing him. I cry about him all the time. The less I know, the less I worry, I guess. I hope that doesn't sound too bad.

I can understand your position; but you need to appreciate HIS point of view ...

How would YOU like to be 'locked up' with a bunch of 'strangers' taking care of you
every day, and never knowing WHEN a familiar Family Face will show up?

It may be mentally challenging for you, but if you really the GrandFolks - you'll
make it a habit to Visit Often - with a big on your face.

You CAN do it ... and the GrandFolks will know you cared - even if the can't SAY so.

(Take 'em some Home-Cooked Goodies)

And drag a few DAWGs along for show & tell!

Prayers to all who are asking.

Kfamr, prayers to both of your grandparents.

Thank you guys for the prayers for my family. I also did not know about the enlarged heart thing but that is definitely something I am going to take more seriously in the future when starting an exercise routine etc.

Kay, huge prayers for you and your grandparents. I really hope your Memaw recovers enough to enjoy some free time, and to visit your Papa.

More prayers for all who need them.

Hey PT,

I start vet school tomorrow! I am having such mixed feelings about it. I think I would describe my current state as one of an emotional basketcase. I don't think it's all that abnormal...but milestones are always harder when you are missing someone (as you may remember my Dad passed away in December). I wouldn't hesitate to say that he was my biggest supporter in the vet school journey. I want to celebrate this with him, but when I call my Mom and we talk about it...we just sort of end up recognizing our helplessness.

Anyway, I miss him...some days more painfully than others....and tonight and tomorrow will be one of those hard times I just have to make it through. Please pray for my strength...I don't want my grief to impair my ability to enjoy this exciting time.
