a hard week.

this week i am in florida with our youth choir as they do a tour to perform portions of their musical at children homes, homeless shelters, and various churches in the tampa st. petersburg area.

when we left friday morning, many of the church members came to see us off. in this group were my grandparents. afterward, they went to run some errands in town and while doing so, my grandfather experienced a stroke. since then, things have been rough. he has no feeling in his left arm or leg, and he isn’t really opening his eyes. 50% of his brain was effected by the stroke.

all of this is happening while i am in florida with the youth group. while my parents were planning on coming to florida on thursday to meet me so we can go to my brothers graduation in orlando and move him back to texas. there could not have been a worse week for this to happen.

right now we are basically at the point where we are understanding that sometime soon God will be calling him home, and the doctors are trying to simply keep him comfortable for awhile. hopefully he can stay around for a few more days.

hang on pa tray. hang on.
