Yesterday an elderly friend of ours (a great-grandpa type) was admitted to the City of Hope. He has T-Cell lymphoma. We have seen him at family gatherings through my husband's side. He is Todd's aunt's father-in-law. His body is weak. When I asked Mr. Blue Eyes how he was on the 1(good) to 10(bad) scale yesterday he said his body was a 6 and his heart had gone from a 2 to 4 because this sweet Grandpa guy has cancer. I was touched that at his young age he has compassion for others struggles.
We are praying for him daily. Hopefully he can get strong enough soon to start fighting against the cancer.
I took the boys over to see him with a card they had written in. We all masked up and put gloves on to protect him. He was sound asleep, so we just wished him well.... He is in good hands — God's and the City of Hope's. It just does not get better than that.
Thanks again Angela!!! It means so much to us.

ReplyDeleteOh my..... I didn't know Grandpa Cornwall is at C of H. I will add him to the list of those we pray for which is getting longer and longer each day. Seems crazy. I'm glad you are posting regularly. I check just about everyday. I'm keeping your family (and Corban of course) in our prayers.

ReplyDeleteCity of Hope is indeed a wonderful place to be if you need help with cancer. Harry told me about Bro. Cornwall - we will add him to our list also - the list that grows more than we want it to!
