BUCKEYE Posted May 21, 2006 Posted May 21, 2006 After having a great week from finding out my wife was pregnant she got bad news this past Wednesday that both her Grandparents were admitted into the hospital. Her Grandma has sever spreading cancer and her Grandpa is just plain at the end of the road on life itself. Her Grandma was given less than a week to live so I flew my wife out to St. Louis so she could see her before she passes.Today my wife called and her Grandfather passed away. She is very upset because her grandma probably won't make it through this weekend. So I start my drive to St. Louis tomorrow and should be there by Monday afternoon.Please pray for her family and my trip to St. Louis. Everyone take care and I thank you!Respectfully,Buckeye "There's nothing that cleanses your soul like getting the hell kicked out of you.”~Woody Hayes

bat in a birdless village Posted May 29, 2006 Posted May 29, 2006 I will pray for your family as well.I hope that I go at an old age within a week of my wife. Yes, it would be harder on the family, but it's kind of sweet in a way. Still, anytime cancer and suffering is involved, it takes away from the celebration of the end of the life of an older person.bat Being a shodan is about learning what you DON'T know about what you know.
BUCKEYE Posted May 31, 2006 Author Posted May 31, 2006 Thank you all for your prayres and comments. My wife and I got back into town last night. I went to class tonight for the first time in a week and it felt great to formerly bow in and forget everything that we went through last week! I needed that. Once again....thanks!Respectfully,Buckeye "There's nothing that cleanses your soul like getting the hell kicked out of you.”~Woody Hayes
