by love i sail

oh!! (giddy voice) 

I have so much to share!

and although I was planning on taking my free time this evening to update you, 

I am going to the chapel for a couple hours instead. 

And I beg you for your prayers as well...

I just received word that my Opa is in the hospital. 

He is stable (after giving my family a death scare this morning), but he has pneumonia and meningitis and with his already compromised lung capacity (verdammte emphyzema), he's got all of us on our knees praying that nothing goes wrong as they try to bring him through recovery from the pneumonia. 

I thank you dearly in advance for being with my and my family in prayer. 

He is like a second father for me, so please help me entrust him to God and continue to be as fully present here as I can be and not worry.
