My mom is such a strong woman.
She is the only one who goes to see my grandpa everyday. She has to sweep her
tears and continue to do whatever she can. She needs to be calm when other
sisters are crying. She has to smile to those relatives who came to visit. I
really admire her. God gave me a chance to get to know my mom better. Thank
you, God.
One note per
day.
This afternoon I went to the hospital again,
bringing my notes for him. However, since there are a group of relatives
visiting, they all crowded around and I was not able to write more when seeing
my grandpa through the glass wall. Anyway, in the note I share him with the
verses: “Beareth all things, believeth
all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Love never fails. (1
Corinthians 13:7-8). Here is the note:
Dear grandpa, I am Joanna! Do you remember the days
when you share me with your life stories? You even saved your life in the
hurricane! So there is nothing tougher! You can make it! I admire you so much
that even when I feel tired with my study, I will think of my great, strong,
kind-hearted grandpa. We are so loved! There is nothing we can’t do!
My mom, uncle and aunts are taking good care of you;
we all wish you can recover soon! Moreover, my teachers and friends in China as well as in the U.S.
I love you! My strongest grandpa!

I heard from a nurse that the major problem for my
grandpa is that his lung is infected and
sometimes he is too weak to breathe by himself. So they need to insert a
tub into his nose to help him breathe; thus He can stay alive and the doctors
can be able to treat the specific infection. However, inserting a tub into the nose is painful and costly, that’s
the reason why the big family was having family meetings. Due to the tight
budget and the pains that grandpa is suffering, they have decided not to do
further treatments. Nevertheless, this morning, the family changed their mind,
they want to do further treatments when necessary. They can’t leave their
father to die. God! Please, show your glory!! Have mercy on us!!
His health condition is in ups and downs so is
everyone’s mood. I really pray to God to
not only save my grandpa but pour love into all the family members’ hearts.
They need hope. I can see my uncle
and aunts are tired and exhausted, so are my parents; as if they turned old
over night. I have only been in this
battle for 5 days and now I am already worn out. God, please help us…
I believe God is fair and just, he won’t leave my
grandpa to Satan. My grandpa is a good man with a poor family background,
whereas he is respected by many people. Since his family is poor, he has only received
elementary education yet he enjoys reading and writing by self-study. Besides,
when he was young he even saved other people’s life! He once told me that there
was a hurricane and the ship was torn down in pieces. By grasping one piece of
deck tightly, he saved himself as well
as a child. His skin was scratched but he tolerated all the pains despite
of the salty sea water. Years after, when he was about to be selected as the
officer of a county, in order to save
his then neighbor out of political persecution, he rowed them to other place
and as a result he got nothing in the end. My grandpa’s life stories can be
written in a book and here is only one part of it. God, I don’t know whether he has accept you or not, but I am sure he doesn’t
go against you! He respects you! We are educated not to have religions in this
country; we did not know the importance and existence of you! We are sorry.
Give us your salvation please!
---------------------
Please continue to pray for my grandpa. Only
prayers and verses can comfort us now. We all need hope…
And I will continue to write notes to him no matter
what!!! I won’t give in! I don’t think he is dying!
Thank you!
p.s. today the relatives brought us 10000 RMB for
treatment and that really solved some problem to some degree. Thank you, Lord.
Faith, hope, love!!
