I can remember my great grandmother - she lived till over 100 and was a sprightly, well-read older lady. I think that I saw her about six times - she was in Perth - before she died.
Alex is a very lucky little boy - he has four great-grandparents still living. Unfortunately all of them are under some form of medical care at the moment.
- John's grandmother is starting chemotherapy for lung cancer (the doctor suspects that it is somewhere else as well)
- One of my grandmothers is in rehab after having a mini-stroke a fortnight ago. Unfortunately it looks like she may need to go into care as she also has demetia.
- My other grandmother is in a nursing home with advanced demetia.
- and my grandfather is in hospital with pneumonia and possible/probable renal failure.
I am not so sure if they will all survive for much longer. Please pray for our families as they minister to our elders - only one of the above is a Christian - especially with the rest of the extended family watching and worrying and grieving.

It sure is a hard thing to watch family and those special to you get older, and have their bodies fail them. I'm sure they always feel young, in spite of what their bodies tell them.
I pray that God would give you all grace to minister to them.
Love,
Cath
