| Well, today my grandpa went to the emergency room... and he's been diagnosed with cancer. It's just in a few spots and they think that it's just started, but prayers would be much appreciated.

It sounds like they caught it early and that's always very helpful. |

| Well, we just got the call, he's passed away. He was in a lot of pain the last few days and was just lingering... it's sort of a relief I guess. He became born-again and baptized a few days ago, so it's easier to swallow now.

I'm really sorry to hear this. Just about the only things that get me through these times is to remember the special times you had with them and know that they are in a better place. I guess that helps a little. Your family and friends, you especially are in my prayers. May he rest in peace.

| Do some journaling, maybe? It might help to get what you're going thru down on paper....
