Prayers desired for grandson Zach
Tonight, I got an e-mail from my ex-wife, telling me that grandson Zach has a golf ball sized tumor in the middle of his brain. The doctor says it
requires surgery, which he is to get Friday morning at 5 a.m. (that would be 11 a.m. in Britain).
He and the rest of my daughter's family live in another state. It seems unlikely that I will get to see him and be with him because of the
estrangement from my wife divorcing me; she will go there and stay with the family, and won't want me around. By virtue of my poverty, I would have
a hard time paying for fuel and food; paying for a motel would just be too much.
It is one of the states that has been hit so hard with the ice storms. I can't stay in my car, as I might if it were during the summer. Nor have I
explored if I would be allowed to visit; if daughter wants her mother to feel entirely at ease, she might not want me around in the hospital, either.
She has not brought Zach to visit me in any of the years since the divorce.
So, I will pray, and I ask you to pray as well.

Will do, although I'd be inclined to be there for my child rather than consider the feelings of my ex if it were me.
