Poppy...

Heather's grandfather Skeet (affectionately called Poppy) has cancer and was given 6-9mo to live. We were planning on spending lots of time with him at Christmas. Yesterday, we learned that after falling and hitting his head, and having a gran mal seizure, the doctor said that if he is bleeding in his brain he only has a day to a week to live. Tomorrow early morning, Heather, Eli, Abi and Zoe are flying to see him. Anzo and I will stay here because he is not fully adopted and cannot get a visa in time. While we lived in Roseville we saw Poppy 3 to 4 days each week. He has been a large part of the children's life and they still talk of him often. We are unsure about his spiritual state and a saving relationship with Jesus although he has lately been saying that he believes in Jesus. Be praying that Heather can arrive in time to see him, that he will be receptive to the gospel and that the kids will handle the goodbye well. We do still pray that the Lord would give him more time just as he gave Hezekiah 15 more years while on his deathbed. Please be praying.
