This really isn't my thing, but I thought I'd reach out to a great community for some support. My grandfather is going through an operation, maybe two, to clear out his arteries. Doctors have confirmed with my dad and uncle yesterday that he'll be a DNR should it not work.
What makes it worse is that my father wants me at the hospital, but I'd rather not go to deal with it my own way, because quite frankly I'd don't need to cry for a whole day and if that happens, well, I've had much time to reflect on my life and I don't know what I'd do in such a depressive state.
I don't really care if my dad sees this, his handle is 'wiggen' on here. As far as he's concerned, it's his way or it's wrong.
But I'm gonna go talk to a local priest so I can try to keep my spirits as high as possible, rather than letting them fall and let my mind be open to some... pretty dark things.
Anthony...You and your grandfather are in my prayers. I’m also praying that both you and your grandfather know Jesus in a personal way.
When family members are at the hospital waiting through a loved one’s surgery, they don’t cry. They wait. They go to get something to eat or drink for everyone. Take your computer, books, and anything else you need to keep yourself busy, Anthony.
When the operation is over, the doc will come to the waiting room and tell you guys what they found and what is next. You can’t see Grandaddy until he’s back in his room and that will be a while - after the recovery room.
So...it is just a thing of passing some time like you would do anywhere. Your dad wants you there because it makes him feel strong to have you supporting him. It will be okay. Your grandaddy will be okay. Thank God they found the problem and can fix it!
Your grandfather and all your family are in my prayers. It’s going to be alright. You are going to be alright.
Prayers for your grandfather!

Prayers for grandpa and that all goes well for his treatment.
Hang in there Anthony. Prayers coming your families way from me. Go to the hospital.
Feelings are neither right nor wrong. Go be with your dad!
Go be with your grandfather. You will never regret it. Sorry I said “your dad” previously.

Prayers for your grandfather and for your entire family as you face this trial in your lives.
Notre Père qui es aux cieux,
Que ton Nom soit sanctifié, que ton règne vienne,
Que ta volonté soit faite sur la terre comme au ciel.
Donne-nous aujourd'hui notre pain de ce jour.
Pardonne-nous nos offenses, comme nous pardonnons aussi à ceux qui nous ont offensés.
Et ne nous soumets pas à la tentation, mais délivre-nous du mal.
Car c’est à Toi qu’appartiennent le règne, la puissance et la gloire,
pour les siècles des siècles. Amen
Je vous salue, Marie, pleine de grâces,
le Seigneur est avec vous, vous êtes bénie entre toutes les femmes,
et Jésus le fruit de vos entrailles est béni.
Sainte Marie, Mère de Dieu, priez pour nous pauvres pécheurs,
maintenant, et à l'heure de notre mort. Ainsi-soit-il.
Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!
(Keep the Faith, my friends! We are the saviors of the Republic! Now and Forever!)
