I was afraid this would happen. He''s 91 and has been deteriorating swiftly the last couple of years. He''s got pnemonia and is in the hospital, my uncle took him in last night.

I know he''s not going to live forever. But... he''s the father of my heart. I cannot explain how much that man means to me.

He''s going to ride his little red scooter (he can''t walk) down the aisle with me in September. He''s ... so much of my heart.

So any prayers, thoughts, or dust would be very welcome. Please.
 
Oh Gypsy, my very biggest bag of dust and good wishes for you. I''m keeping my fingers crossed. *hugs*
 
oh hun, I'm sending a truckload of dust your way.

I kinda know how you feel.... my father will be 91 this May, and although he's in relatively good shape, i came to terms not too long ago that he REALLY isn't going to live forever. My heart races whenever I get a call from mom that something has happened- he's fallen, he's sick, etc...

I thank God that he was able to walk me down the aisle (cane and all!) for my wedding in Sept '06. Your Grandpa will do the same for you- think positive!

I'll be thinking about you, Gypsy! Please keep us posted.
 
Aw Gypsy. Strong positive thoughts, eventhough you know he''s not going to live forever, doesn''t mean now is the time. Keep us updated. I''m thinking of you and your family.
 
Thanks guys. A little teary over here... and choked up. It really helps to read your posts.

Charger... ((HUGS)) and I''m so glad your dad walked you down the aisle.

Mine walked out on me... and my grandfather stepped in larger than life with an unconditional love and a heart so big for me... that he just awes me sometimes.

I hope ferverently that this isn''t the time. I''m glad he''s in the hospital. Not that it''s gotten bad enough that he HAS to be there, but that since it is that bad, he''s there and is getting good care. Will visit him tonight. Thank you all.
 
So sorry your Grandpa is in the hospital!
Sending good thoughts and dust his way.
I had a similar relationship with my Grandma-was partially raised by her, oh, I know how you feel!
((hugs)) to you!
 
prayers outgoing
 
Prayers coming your way. Sounds like he is well taken care of and your uncle was being very cautious to take him to the hospital early rather than later. Stay positive!!
 
Gypsy,
I am sorry to hear this. He sounds like such a sweetie. Sending prayers his way and a big hug to you. Keep us posted. Lisa
 
Gypsy hang in there..Praying that all goes well..thinking about you..
 
Gypsy, I''m sending thoughts, prayers, and dust to your grandpa and you...everything possible. I hope the good care he''s getting now will have him feeling better quickly.

Ditto, praying hard for you and your beloved Grandpa.
 
Oh Gypsy - sending prayers, dust and well wishes! I know how difficult this can be. My 87 year old grandma had a stroke last week and for the first time it really occured to me that there *may* come a time that my grannie is no longer with me. What a terrible feeling. I''ll be keeping you and your grandpa in my thoughts!
 
Thoughts prayers and dust... what more could a PSer ask for, all with a huge helping of friendship and support and love. Thank you all. Just checking in to this thread is so wonderfully warming. I''ve been feeling cold since last night when he was admitted.
 
Oh Gypsy, I''m sorry. Grandparents are such special people, and when they are extra special, something like this is really tough to take.

I''m sending thoughts, prayers, and lots of dust.

Please, go see him soon and tell him how much he means to you. That''s better than any medicine.

I''m praying too
 
Add my prayers as well. Hang in there, girl. If nothing else, you have shown time and time again the tough stuff of which you were made.

We''re all here for you!
 
I hope he''s okay Gypsy, I know it means a lot to you for him to be with you on your big day.
 
Sending you and grandpa the best of wishes. It''s a hard time, Gypsy but you will both make it through.
 
all my wishes and hugs for you gypsy - stay positive <3
 
Gypsy, thinking of you and your grandfather. Keep thinking positive. My BF''s grandfather was taken into hospital more times than I can count in the first three years we were dating and every time we feared the worst and every time he pulled through!
 
Words can''t express how sorry I am to hear this. I just recently lost my grandpa last month - he truly was the light of my life. For some reason, I''ve seen that the bonds between granddaughters and grandfathers tend to be especially strong. I know how devastating it is to have somebody you love so incredibly much in the hospital and how scary it feels. My prayers will certainly be with you and your granddad.

My grandpa first went into the hospital last summer before our wedding, and I truly believe that because he wanted to be at the wedding so badly, he was able to pull through and make it to the wedding. It''s amazing what such determination can do for a person. I''m sure your grandfather wants to ride his red scooter at your wedding very badly, and hopefully that same determination will help him have a speedy recovery.

Please keep us updated.
 
Oh honey I''m so sorry to hear this. I''ll send all the good thoughts and prayers and PS dust I can muster your way that this is not the time for your grandfather to leave you. I''ll also be praying for strength for you - I can tell from your posts how deeply you love this man, and I know the last few months have not been easy.
 
Prayers and wishes for your grandpa and that'll be come out of this ok!
