Prayers for my grandfather

[Bronwyn]

Prayers needed for my grandfather. The last time I saw him I was ten years old. Now that he came back a few weeks ago we discover he is dying. Worse than that, the doctor said today, maybe two weeks. He has been put into hospice. He's amazed that I am the little girl he remembers, and he tells everyone that I am his little buddy...
Any way. The family needs all the prayers we can get.
TIA

Wherever he has been, that's in the past; it's a miracle that he remembers you as his little buddy....

Prayers for both he and you.

Bronwyn, take it from someone who just recently lost their father-spend as much time as you possibly can with him, talk about everything under the sun, gather family information, gather his life story-as much as you can. Make the most of it!! Thoughts to you and yours!!

That is a nice thought, but the thought of doing it makes me cry, it breaks my heart. The best I can manage is to just sit with him. I crochet a blanket while he talks. He talks a lot about the past, before I was born. I just can't manage to say much in return.

That's OK. He just needs to know someone cares. You being there is great. You might want to make note of what he is talking about. He is relating your family history to you from his point of view. Very few people ever get that.

May God grant you and your family His peace and comfort and your grandfather guidance to come into His kingdom.

Update and more prayers needed

We made it through a wonderful thanksgiving and Christmas with my grandfather. A first and last for us. I am sitting with him today so that my mother can get out, and she's heading to the mall for a break. He's napping now, so I can finally get online. He asked me to get a pen and paper, I thought he wanted to write something, or make a grocery list, but he told me to write. He spelled out a name and told me it was the name of a funeral home. He named a cemetery in Beavertown, Pa, where his family lies. Then he pointed to himself. He says that he feels okay today, but he know things aren't right. I just nodded and started crying. Mom called to check on things and I told her that everything is fine. I can tell her about his message when I talk to her later. Hospice should be here soon to give him his bath, which we are sooo grateful for their help.


Thanks for the prayers.

May Angel's wings carry him to his glory.

I am so glad that on christmas he asked dad to say grace. For a while he was blaming God for things, and we were worried about that. I want to think of God embracing him in the end as well.

He and your family have my prayers.
I hope that when my time comes to meet the Lord, I am able to go with as clear a mind as it would seem that he has.

Damn sweetie...

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to mainman again.



Thanks

Wow. Reading back through the thread, you've been blessed with two wonderful months with your grandfather. That, in itself, is truly a gift from God. He may be sick, but it appears that he still has his mind and I'm sure he has shared many stories of his life and your family that you may not have known. God brought him back to you so that you could have this time. Make the most of it and treasure every memory you have had in these two months.

Love & prayers to you all.

My prayers go out to you. I never got to know my grandparents. Take advantage of every second. I just recently quizzed my Mom who is 72 about events surrounding my birth and childhood. Learned some awesome stuff.
