Extra Thoughts needed tonight

There are some days when I realize how far I am from my family.
I talk to my family a lot.
My aunt every  morning...
my mom twice a night...
My grandparents usually every other week..
Tonight, I realized how far away I am...
My mom called tonight on my way home and told me my grandfather is in the hospital.
He is the man who spoiled me..
helped me climb trees,
always had a hug,
He was there through college...
no matter what I needed, he would be there...
With a hug, a stern talking to or a handkerchief to wipe away my tears.
When they were in the next state over and I would go there to my favorite rock on the beach...
he would give me my space,
but he would always come find me just when I needed to talk...
He was the first one to meet hubby...
first one to tell me that he was a keeper..even though we were just friends.
Hubby asked him if he could marry me....
They moved a couple of years ago...to South Carolina...which tonight feels like a world away...
He has a staph infection and they had to do surgery to remove it cause it was too close to his spine.
And I will admit....i am worried...
all of a sudden, my pops who was always there, always young enough to keep up, sounds old...
I know the day will come when he won't be here any more and honestly it makes me sick to my stomach...
so tonight, I ask a favor of all of you....
Please send thoughts...
Prayers
Positive juju...
whatever it is...
Cause i am not ready for that day yet...
Send them to him....because I think he's gonna need it...but I wouldn't mind if you through a few my way too...
Love and hugs...
