My Nana

She is one of the best people in the world. She has a heart of gold and would give you the shirt off her back. She is an awesome cook and makes great Snickerdoodle cookies. She has also been the one constant in my life that I knew I could always count on since the day I was born. She has been my caretaker, my comforter, my friend, my safety net. She and Papa would take me on vacation with them, they bought me school clothes, my first pair of eyeglasses when I was in high school, and my first car. While we may not see eye to eye on everything, I can not imagine what life would be like without her in it. Just the thought of her not being in this world makes my heart ache.

I found out about 6 weeks ago that she was diagnosed with Emphysema. I'll be honest...this scares the hell out of me. I don't know how advanced it is. I don't know what her prognosis is. What I do know is that the first few medications her doctor's have put her on, haven't worked for her...she is still struggling with coughing and being able to breathe normally. I also worry because she and Papa live 1000 miles away in Washington. We do have some other family up there, but no one that would be able to care for either of them should anything happen.

Nana is also not a Christian. If she does not come to Christ before she leaves this material world, I will never see her again. If you think about it, will you please pray for Nana? Pray for healing and pray for an open and seeking heart.
