-frustration

As my personal storm grows, another for a loved one begins. Recently I have confronted my fiancee about his family's issues with mine. It was more or less out of the sheer curiosity for what in the bloody hell we did. As it turns out, we've done nothing (much as was suspected). Through passing days, he has began to notice the escalating problem himself and has come to a head with his father's behavior. What this means, I'm not quite sure. People are creatures of habit, but also of change. Things could get better immensely and shock everyone. It is frustrating to be there to help someone who you can't help. I cannot give him advice to follow because it isn't my family and I've never even witnessed a similar experience. He is a resilient young man and tends to be the one who has hope in those catastrophic storms. This seems to be something that even he cannot overcome and it is a frightening thing to watch.




In my own storm, the calmness has passed. It was quite lovely the other day and until this afternoon to be honest. My grandfather was moved out of CCU into his own room on the cardiac floor. He was eating and things were looking up for everyone. Unfortunately, he was moved back late in the afternoon due to an infection and breathing difficulties. He has seemingly given up hope and refuses to eat. He wants more than anything to go home, to be in his safety net. No one in the family is alright with it because they know the risks that he runs and how much more his pain levels will increase. We are hoping for a miracle at this point. We hope that he sees what he can do with the time he has left. He is an amazing person and to lose him would wither many peoples' hearts.

Keep praying.
