More Prayers Needed Please...

[Martoch]

Hello, thank you for taking an interest...

I was hoping that I wouldn't have to post this, but I was just given the bad news...

My grandma has just been diagnosed with cancer . Please keep in mind that she's not just a grandma to me, I lived with her and my grandpa for about 6 years after my parents got divorced...she's like a second Mom. My grandpa had to suffer a very slow & painful death because of the cancer that spread throughout his body and I simply cannot watch my grandma pass on in such a manner. We have to wait 2 weeks to find out just how far her cancer has spread.

The thing that makes this so much harder for me to cope with is that my Mom is having a VERY tough time with this...she doesn't want to talk about it at all and to make matters worse she has turned to alcohol--a lot of it. My Mom and I are best friends and it pains me deeply to know that she's trying to drown away her sorrows. Alcohol (on my Dad's part) was the reason my parents got a divorce when I was 15, so it's a very touchy subject for me even though 13 years have gone by since then. My sister & aunt are doing their best to get her some help so she can deal with this in a more positive way. Right now my grandma needs her more than ever.

So I ask, please keep us in your thoughts and prayers...I have seen just how powerful your prayers can be and it amazes me how much you show compassion for others. I struggle to keep my chin up as the tears are rolling down my face.

Thank you friends...

You got it, Mike. You of all people know how powerful prayers are around here.

Oh, man, that's rough...soon as I get done writing here I'm gonna get going on it. You're a strong guy, but you're going to have to draw on your reserves to handle this.

I pray for healing for your Grandmother;

May God restore your Mom's faith and the ability to confront this straight-on;

And may He bestow wisdom and strength to you and your family in the way you deal with this trying time.

We'll be in your corner, Mike. Todd

Thank you so much guys, I really truly mean it. My family is over 1000 miles away, so I'm not physically there to help them deal with these trying times. You will be helping me get through this more than you know...I am very fortunate to have found such a wonderful group of people.
I'm going to do my best to remain the same caring, helpful, & goofy as can be Martoch that you're used to seeing around here.

Your Grandma, your mom, and you are in my prayers Mike. I pray that God may grand his healing power and grace upon your family.

No problems Mike, you are on my prayer list, your Mum and Grandma too.

Makes me want to go out and find a truckload more PC's so we can fight this cancer thing better using UD. This disease will always cause heartache until we find some answers.

Cheers
