Jim's grandpa has not been doing well since he had a stroke last year, right before thanksgiving. He's slowly been deteriorating and lately has been talking about death, just about every time we see him. And its not the "I'm ready to go home" its more the "I have nothing to live for anymore" kind of talking. It's really sad to see, and hard for Jim to hear. Jim is going to see him tonight. His cousin told us last night that his grandpa has taken a turn for the worse. He can barely stand or walk anymore. His grandma is smaller than I am, and is not going to be able to take care of him if/when he is released from the hospital.
Pray for his grandpa, for the pain that he is in. Pray for his family in the ability to understand where his grandpa is in his life. He's lived a long life, and he doesn't feel like he has anything to fight for anymore. He's a wonderful man, with a wonderful heart.
I really feel a lot more peace with Jim's grandpa's future than I did when Jim's grandma passed away. Jim's grandpa is the only one in his family who truly has an understanding of God, so thats probably why. But please, pray for his family. I know Jim's having a hard time with it, and just won't say anything. He wants his grandpa at our wedding next year, and its going to be very hard for him if he isn't there.
