Grandpa needs prayers

I just found out that my Grandpas heart condition is getting worse and that he cann't do anything right now. 

My Grandpa has lived a good life, but this last year was a tough year for him and I think he is actually dying of a broken heart.  We all knew this was going to be coming sooner than later but it's still hard.  I pray that god either heals him and he can do the things he loves, or lets him go quickly and quietly. 

It's been a hard year for him because last January (2010)  we discovered that my mom's only sister and his baby daughter had breast cancer that had spread to the lungs.  And then this past September she passed away.  This was very hard on him and we all knew that this would probably cause his heart to worsen that he would probably be gone with in a year. 

I've always had a special relationship with my mom's family.  I was always Grandpas little Stacy Lue.  So all though I know it may be his time to go it's also very hard for me to know that it might be right around the corner.

    I'm so sorry your family and your grandpa are going through this. Even though you know his time is coming, it's never easy. Even when you look back on his long and happy life, it's still not easy. But, take refuge in God's strength. He is always on our side and will take care of your family and Grandpa when he passes on. You're in my prayers. I lost my grandpa when I was 8 and not a day goes by that I don't miss him. But, I know he's in good hands and is watching over me. Praying for strength and peace during this hard time.

    oh Stacy.. i am sooo sooo sorry to hear this. i will pray for your family and your grandpa. 
    Just like Faith said... it is hard to see it happen, even when it is inevitable. I will pray that in these coming days he will be surrounded by infinite love of his family and of the Father. i pray that he will feel the love all around him and he will just embrace it. I declare peace and strength in your heart as well as your other family members. May the joy of the Lord be your strength, Stacy. 

    you will be in my prayers.

    Thanks for all the prayers girls!  I heard an update, all though grandpa is doing worse and Grandma says he cann't do anything he can still go to Jackpot (a Casino) and attend the drawings, in which he won a truck and a boat.  He goes to the cardiologist soon, so we will know more then.  Thanks for all the prayers.
