James and I have been in Pensacola, Florida for almost 2 weeks now. My grandpa, James' great grandpa, was diagnosed with metastatic lung cancer shortly after our visit in August. Dave was unable to make another trip to Florida because of work, so James and I hitched a ride with my dad, James' grandpa, on his way down from Idaho. Great grandpa has been doing radiation for a couple weeks now and testing is still being done to determine if chemotherapy is an option. The radiation is helping with some of the pain that great grandpa was experiencing, but new issues arise each day. James has brought lots of smiles to great grandpa's face these past couple weeks. Even though James won't remember his time with his great grandpa, I am so happy that he is able to bring him a little joy while he's feeling so bad.

My prayers are that great grandpa can have some relief from the pain he is experiencing, that he knows and feels the love that our family has for him, and most importantly, that he seeks the Lord for strength and knows His love every minute of every day.
