It's a monday...

My Grandpa Trone hasn't been doing so well again.  He's on oxygen can't breathe well, and now he's in a lot of pain.  He says it's in his back and he can't stand to move.  He's been suffering for almost 2 weeks now and it just breaks my heart.  He does not look too good.  His color is pale and his spirits are low.  I have this horrible gut sinking feeling he will be called to the lord sooner than we all wish.  He's just not what he used to be.  We knew when he came home from Springfield back by Easter that he was living on borrowed time after those heart attacks.  We just prayed he'd continue to be comfortable.  He's not.  Right now my mom has him back out at the hospital hoping to get him some relief.  I haven't heard any news yet.  This is so hard on me because Grandpa has always been like a father to me.  He took me under his wing when I was a baby and has kept me there every since.  My poor grandma is getting worked to the bone by him and it's wearing her out.  She's just exhausted.  I am sad for her too because I can't imagine watching the man you've been married to for all these years suffer.

Cole is enjoying school now.  He likes being busy and doing homework.  He likes to learn.  Brody misses him all day long.  It is sad seeing him wave bye bye to him every morning.  He lights up at night when he gets home!  Such a bond those two have!

Well I am off to dish up supper for the kids and Bill.  I may have to go spend the night in town with Grandpa tonight.  I got to get organized in case I get the call to go.
