Well, my last grandparent, my grandfather, is dying of kidney cancer, and it's been...tolerable, I guess, for a while, but there was finally a flurry of phone calls today that he's just not looking well. Since my mother finally called me and asked for my prayers, I thought I'd ask for yours as well. If I pull out Club Me for a minute, it would just be nice to see him for one last Christmas since I've spent almost every major holiday at his house. I don't even know what next year's going to be like not being in their house...

Peace,
JD

I can't give you my prayers, Jen, but I will be thinking about you and your family and sending all good thoughts for you during this difficult time. I know that you'll find the strength and courage needed to get through.

JD,

I know that mere words cannot help, but I hope you can feel my empathy for your pain. I've added you and your family to my Prayer List.

You have our prayers. I remember when my last grandparents died 17 years ago. My Grandpa died in May and Grandma died in August of that year. We visited them about 2 times a month (they lived only 20 minutes away). Grandpa told the most colorful jokes, much to the embarrasment of my Grandma. There wasn't anything that Grandma made that didn't taste good.

It was at their house that we had all our holidays. And the last holiday was the Christmas of the previous year. So, I understand.

You are in our prayers.

James

Thanks a bunch guys. You can't imagine how much it helps me to get that stuff off my chest and just know that people will be thinking about us.

JD

You've got my thoughts, hon. I also come in Giant Teddy Dear form just for squishy hugs.

I'm so sorry to hear this, and you and your family will definitely be in my prayers.

*hugs*

You and your family will be in my prayers, Jen. May God comfort and strengthen you.

Great big hugs from up here in the cold.

*hugs* My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I'm so sorry JD. I know what you're going through. <me gives big bear hug> My husband and I will be praying for you and your family.

Jen - I'm so sorry to hear about your grandfather. I wish you and your family peace and comfort. <<<hugs>>>

I'm sorry, Jen. You and your family will be in my thoughts.

Hug and peace and good wishes from me, too.

Mona

I'm so sorry to hear that.

I understand what you're going through, especially about missing the holidays with them. I hope that you won't have to.

You and your grandfather will both be in my thoughts. If you need to talk to someone, you know where to find me.

You'll have my prayers, Jen. I lost my sister in early December of 2005. We'd planned on going up to see her and then it was too late. I'd spent many a Christmas at her place and even when we couldn't be together we would always call on Christmas Day and talk.

I hope you and your family get to spend this Christmas with your grandfather.

Nan

My prayers are with you lady. *hug*

You and your family will be in my prayers!!

Big Hug Camy

Your family will also be in my thoughts and prayers.
