Hey all. I hope you guys had great 4th of July weekends. Can't really say I did unfortunately.
You know how they say everything comes in 3's? Well, it did this past weekend. The third and least difficult was going into the ER on Sat. for 2 stiches. Knife got away from me as I was opening a box (containing parts for the Z no less lol) and sliced open my thumb pretty deep. But, that's manageable.
The first, and definitely one of the 2 hardest, was learning that my grandmother is in the hospital. She has 2 blood clots around her brain that are causing her to have strokes. These developed a couple months ago after a bad car accident. The worst is that there's nothing that can be done due to problems with her blood pressure.
The second, and probably the hardest for me, was learning what I did on Sat. I got a call Fri. night from one of my sisters telling me that my dad had a stroke and was in the hospital. What made this worse was learning the cause on Sat....brain cancer (glioma specifically). I'm still trying to sort myself out after this and don't know what to think or feel, let alone what to do next. While some good did come of this, namely my dad and other sister seeing each other and talking after so many years of problems, its still hard to deal with.
I can't stress how much I covet prayer right now. I'm definitely not ready to lose my dad right now and have no desire to.
Take care everyone. Never let a chance to show your dad some love slip away, as I know I won't.
