Some of you know that I sit with my grandpa. He is 96, but lives with my parents. He is a great conversationalist and loves people. Always ready to talk about something....the Bible, the weather, etc. When I sat with him on Wed, I read the Bible to him, he had some company and he carried on a conversation with us as usual.

Sometime during the night, he had a stroke. He is not talking at all. His eyes are glazed over and he does not recognize any of us. I walked in his room this morning, not expecting that at all. My dad had called me and asked me to stop by for a few minutes. I was so shocked to see how terrible he looked.

I have cried my eyes out today. Please say a little prayer for him.

He is my last grandparent and I am not ready to let him go. I just can't.

I expect to be spending alot of time with him the next several days. So if you don't see me here, that's where I will probably be.
