Be Praying!

I just wanted to let everyone know that Maegan's Grandmother on her mom's side had her husband pass away of heart attack last night. They had all spent some time with him just a few hours before his death, and he had seemed to be perfectly fine. He had went to work at like four in the morning, and was at work when he had the attack. This is a huge shock to them and I ask for your prayers and support during these times of her and her families life. As you all know they now have lost two people who where very close and family. Although He was not blood kin to them he has been like a gradfather to them for many years, and was a fun person who was always making you smile. I knew him well and know He loved the Lord, and now he is in the presence of our Father God... This is Josh a close friend, and she wanted her friends to know. I ask for your prayers and support of Maegan and her family as they go through all this. They are woderful people who I care for very much. Please pray!! Thank you all for your support in these times!



thanks, bro! i can't believe we're doing this all over again...it's been almost like deja-vu at the hospital - same "quiet" room where we dealt with papaw's death. leaving someone behind when you walked out those doors. same horrible feeling. this time was different, no goodbyes, just instantly taken from you. this is the last of my gradfathers...i claim three. my grandfather (who died in '93), my papaw (who died three weeks ago), and now my papa hoyt.

my grandmother is in a state of stock - as we all are. trying to figure out how to handle it. how to take care of the things left behind.

it was sudden, so sudden. my grandmother called at 6 a.m. saying a lady from his work at called and said he was having seizures and they were taking to him to the hospital. my great-grandmother (who's been having lots of tests run, and isn't doing so well herself) has been staying with granny duh and papa hoyt for a little while now, and granny duh needed someone to stay with memeow. mom and i went with granny duh to the hospital while dad, faith, and tarah stayed with memeow.

when we got there, they said they were going to get us to a quiet room - from being there three weeks ago, i knew exactly what was meant by a "quiet room." it's the chapel, where you find out the worst news possible.

evidently, he died instantly. they tried for 30-45 minutes to restart his heart and get him breathing, but they said he never responded. the lady he was going in to relieve was still there and she said he didn't feel well, he said he was dizzy and sat down. then everything happened.

here's our family again...what feels like square one. thankfully, He will not put on us more than we can bare. He must think we're stronger than we feel, for it seems so difficult, so hard.
