Listening to: the buzz of fluorescent lighting
Mood: sad


I got an email from Jen about her grandfather.

Here's a portion of the email:

"They found out yesterday that he has stomach cancer and he has a very large tumor in his stomach. They want to do surgery, but due to his weakened state from not being able to eat much for weeks, they have to keep him hospitalized for several weeks before they operate. As you probably know, this could possibly only allow the cancer to spread further. I've only had a chance to talk to my step dad this morning - which is when I just found out, so I'm sure the family is going to be torn between grief and uncertainty with my grandfather..."

It's a shock because if you saw the man, you'd think he was in his 50s (tops), which would be about 20 years younger than he is, and he's very active. I've met him several times, and I think he's one of the funniest guys I know, and can pick a guitar like none other. You should see his collection of mandolins and guitars. He makes you comfortable, and in a way, he's everyone's grandfather.

For the things above, please pray.

Please.
