Brethren,
I will keep this as short as possible.
My Grandfather raised me from a very small child. He and I have always been extremely close. Three years ago his health deteriorated and I moved him in with my wife and I. I have been and remain his primary care giver.
I don't make a habit of talking about it.
A few days ago, his ongoing battle with cancer reached the untreatable stage. He has two months. One before the pain becomes intense.
Tomorrow he comes home with me so that I may make him as comfortable as I can for his journey onward.
I am a deist, I have had a spotty relationship with prayer.
But he is an exceedingly good man, truly. He has been my father, my protector and my friend for all of my life.
I would very much appreciate your prayers for his comfort, and his journey. And truth be told, for me to have the patience, the magnanimity, and the strength needed for the coming weeks. It may be that some of you men have more pull with the Almighty than I, and like I say, he deserves it.
S&F,
Michael
