I am asking all of you prayer warriors to keep my grandfather Al in your prayers. He is 89 and has prostate cancer...he has not been eating or sleeping.
Ironically I called him this morning (not knowing any of the not eating/sleeping) and I left him a message around 10:30 am to say I would be stopping by later and if he was there great, if not I would catch him another time. You see, today Aug 26 is my dad's birthday (my dad passed away 5 years ago) so after I went to visit the cemetary I was stopping by my grandfathers.
I got to his house and the door was locked. I left him some home grown tomatoes I grew for the first time this year. Grandpa used to grow them in his garden when I was growing up.
I left the bag of tomatoes and drove away.
The thought entered my mind that maybe he was in the hospital....
Fast forward to about 4pm today and my mom calls me. She reminded me it is dad's birthday and I proceed to tell her I went to the cemetary and I dropped off some tomatoes at grandpas. My mom was I guess in awe about it and said "I saw Aunt Dawn today and she said Uncle Alan had to take grandpa to the hospital around 10:30-11am"
It was just ironic (or psychic) that all that had occured and I had previously not heard about it.
Long story short, the prostate cancer spread previously to his legs and he has a hard time walking. (He still drives and each time I go there, I tell him he shouldn't be driving. He isnt your typical grandfather either---does NOT look or act his age!).
I just want people to pray for him and if this is his time to go, that he goes peacefully. I know he has been in and out of the hospital over this past year and has been in a lot of pain (although he says he's not in pain). When I spoke to my aunt about 20 mins ago, she said my uncle just informed her that my grandfather wants to live with them. We just laughed because we all know how Al is.
Thank you all for your prayers. I appreciate it.
