my grandfather has leukemia.

we've known for a long time now but we've been waiting to hear from the various doctors about how bad it was and if he needed chemo or not, etc, etc and turns out that yes he DOES need chemo and will begin that this summer. and that's about all i know at this point. my grandparent's are taking care of my daughter this summer (well, they're sharing that responsibility with my mom) but there's really no telling what's going to happen at this point. i don't know how good of an opportunity this is going to be for my daughter to spend time with them or how horrific this is going to be for her to HAVE to witness this, kwim? and i'm kind of stuck without any other options right now too. so we're just playing the waiting game.

please, whatever you believe in out there... god, allah, buddah, swinging chickens, good energies, faeries... whatever... please ask it/him/her/them to be with my grandfather and our family as we go through this journey and please help my grandfather to be strong and to never let his feet falter on his path.

thank you.
