    My grandfather is 85 and his lungs are failing. He is expected to live only a few more days. He is not a Catholic, but I am going to pray for his soul like crazy anyway. If any members of the forum would be willing to offer a few prayers for Russell this week, I would sincerely appreciate it.

    Thanks for listening, everyone. Tough day.

    Yes certainly. Are you comfortable sharing his first name? Always helps me to focus.

    Thanks. Got it. Lots of prayer.
    God strengthen you during this time.
    Our family lost our dear matriarch, my Grandmother Jane, last August. 94 years wasn't enough. How I miss her.

    Update:

    He had a pretty good day in the hospital yesterday. Went home today. They are treating it as a hospice case, and he is glad to be back home.

    We're not expecting more than a week or two, but it would be a great miracle if he can make it to my brother's wedding in August. We are tremendously grateful for the efforts of the American Red Cross, who are trying to arrange a flight home for my brother, who is serving in the Persian Gulf right now.

    Lots of emotions. Thank you for your prayers, CMAA.
