I hate to ask this of you all, but if you know me, you know I rarely ever ask for anything. You see I got a phone call yesterday from my mother, one that gave me some really bad news. You see a couple of weeks ago my grandfather (the one I really like, not the one that drives me nuts with his ego and sexist ways) had a stroke. He waited a week before he even told my grandmother and another before he would even go to the doctors to find out what was wrong. They did a CAT scan on him and found out something really horrible, he has cancer in his brain. The kind that they believe there will be nothing they can do and that he will die from. Today he went in to get some more tests done to see if there is anything they can do.

So here is what I have to ask... I know that most of you (my friends) are not religious or believe in something other than a god, you know me, I'm the same way. But could you put out good thoughts, pray to whoever you pray to, wish for him to be ok, to get better, that there will be something they can do to help him. Please, just do whatever it is you do.

Growing up I would have sworn to you that he was invincible, that my grandfather was supper man... He never gets sick, never gets hurt, he's always been so strong, like nothing could ever bring him down. He's stubborn and hard headed, it's just so hard for me to believe that he's even sick, that there is something wrong with him, that there is a possibility he could die...

I know that every day that goes by there is a chance it could be ANYONE'S last, hell every day that goes by IS a ton of peoples last. But he is my grandfather and I love him so much. My family is not ready, I'm not ready for him to go. So please, send him your thoughts, prayers, meditation, whatever it is you do....

Thank you
