Prayers and grandparents

I'm not sure what my last post was even about. I have been struggling lately to even figure out what day it is. I do know that I asked for prayers for Grandaddy. And I will ask again that you will please keep praying for him and for the family, and especially for Granny. I have thought a lot about things over the past week and everyday when I visit them. They aren't my blood grandparents but they might as well be. When I was in the 6th grade, I lost the only grandparent that I ever knew. It was my Moma's mother. She was a very very wonderful woman and I still miss her a lot. But I was blessed in more ways than one when I married Jeremy...I gained another family which just happen to include grandparents. I think a lot of them. They are each special in their own way. Ga ga as the younger ones call him, always has candy or gum and quarters or dollars for the great grand kids. Oh and you can't forget the chocolate milk. It's very sweet to see how much joy all the kids bring to them. And when you leave he always has a kiss on the cheek for you. And Granny will always always make sure you aren't hungry and would give you the shirt off of her back. They are two very special
people and have made a big impact on those around them. It was told Saturday that Grandaddy would not get any better. And he has actually
been a little better the last couple of days. We don't know what's going to happen, God knows and He is in control. If something does happen, I can't help but to think of Granny and it breaks my heart to think that somebody would live alone without their spouse after being together for almost 60 years. A marriage is not always easy but it says a lot when you are still holding strong to the marriage vows you made 60 years before. She will have a support system by her side no matter what, but it can never replace a spouse. Just keep praying for everyone and that God's will
be done.
