Prayer Request

Please keep my family in your prayers, as my grandfather is not doing well.  He has been plagued with several ongoing health problems for the last few years, and the doctors believe that his time here left on earth isn't long.  Hospice has been called in, and they are keeping him comfortable at home, where he has requested to be.  He has most of his family surrounding him in these last few days.  

This is a very stressful and emotional time in my family's life, as we have gone from the high of a new baby to the low of preparing to lose a loved one.  Please keep my mom particularly in your prayers, as she is having the most difficult time with this.  It of course impacts my entire family, and I pray that we all are given strength and courage to deal with this as the end draws near.  

Usually I would not divulge such personal information on the blog, but feel that I need to get it out instead of keeping it bottled inside.  I feel like I can't help and support the way I need to being in Minnesota and not Illinois, and it's hard to keep my focus right now on myself, Mitch and Giana, where it needs to be.  

Thanks.
