prayers.

Life is a beautiful thing.  We are born, we take our first breath, and we open our eyes to a unforgettable journey.  We take our first steps into loving hands, we say our first words, and we learn what unconditional love means.  During this journey there are people that show this unconditional love.  These people are the ones who help raise us, teach us, and show us what it means to be a good person.  

In my life I have been blessed with many people who have both showed and taught me the above mentioned things.  There induviuals have forever touched my life and will always be in my heart.

I found out yesterday that my grandmother had a stroke.  She is very lethargic,  unresponsive, hooked up to many machines, and not herself. It breaks my heart to think that this sort of thing could happen to such a wonderful person.  I know that these things can happen to anyone.  I know that this is god's plan and he will do what is best for her.  My dad is headed out to see her in a day or two (this is his mother).  He told me that they are doing many tests on her tomorrow which include a swallowing test, continuing to check her mobility, and then do a memory test.  They should have a better understanding of where she is and where she may go to if she is to get better.  If for some reason the doctors determine that there is not much hope for recovery and she has to be left on machines then her living will then take affect.........

Please pray for my grandmother.  Whether it be for her recovery or for her to rest peacefully....prayers would be very much appreciated.

Here's to living, being blessed with wonderful people, and the power of god.
