I strongly believe that Prayer changes things. I pray every single day and most times more than once. I need your prayers today. I have been home all week because on Tuesday my grandfather was admitted to the hospital for surgery. So far things are not going well as expected when someone older has surgery. I need your prayers for my grandfather to heal and for my mom and her brothers to have the strength to deal with this difficult situation. It has been a long week and we are all exhausted.
My grandfather lives 5 houses up the street from my parents. We are all super close and see him daily which makes this even harder. He is such a kind soul and we just pray for a quick recovery and for him to heal as painlessly as possible. My mom and her brothers are having to make the kind of decisions you never wish to make about a loved one and quality of life. Please think of us in your prayers.
I am sorry for my lack of comments in the blog world this week, I have been missing all my favorite blogs but I am just trying to be strong for my family and help as needed here.
In light of all this I will announce the Swim Spot Winner next week, so you guys can still enter through the weekend.
Thanks for your prayers, it does indeed change things.
Have a lovely weekend.
xoxo
Natalie
