well I guess I felt like starting a testimony thread for people to bare their testimonies to others. because I know after what happened tonight mine was strengthened quite a bit. And also I like listening to other people's testimonies too.
well, tonight earlier I went out with my parents to a cafe for some hot cocoa and they got coffee (I'm an only member in my family) they were in a business meeting and I was just hanging out and then my mom's cell phone rang and she picked it up. her facial expression changed almost drastically and she bagan to say "what hospital is he in?" "is he ok?" "did they leave a number?" and she jotted the number down and said that my grandpa(on my dads side) wasn't doing to good and gave the phone to my dad. my dad called and couldn't get ahold of anyone and he kept trying to get different numbers to get ahold of someone and finally did and then he found out what hospital he was at. my dad hung up the phone and shook the hand of the person they were meeting with and we left the meeting early and on the way home so he could drop me and my mom off so he could go to the hospital he said to my mom in kinda a hushed tone but I could still hear "he went into emergency surgery and his heart stoped and they don't think he's going to make it." and I tried to keep myself together for the 5 or so minutes till we got home but I couldn't so I just cried in the back of the van and then when I finally got home I just immediately got out and went inside and found my older brother and hugged him and we bothe cried together. after about 20 minutes or so my dad had already left and my mom decided she wanted to go meet him out there so she told me and nick to clean up around the house and she would go out to the hospital and call me and nick and tell us what happens. She even told me that all we could do was have a little faith and pray. (she's always been an athiest which kinda shocked me to hear her say that) and so after she left I said a prayer and then I did a chore and said another and did another chore and said another prayer and so on and so forth. and then the phone rang and my brother picked up and he came upstaris and told me that my grandpa was doing ok now. and with that I let out a huge sigh of relief that he was ok.
Edit: he's gotten way better and now he's getting the heart pump out and the infection he had in his kidneys cleared up in one day. The doctors told us that they honestly didn't think he'd make it past thursday night but he did and now they are calling him the Miracle Man!
...and we all lived happily ever after
THE END.

I'm glad your grandfather's okay. That's always a scary situation to be in. It's hard to think of losing someone you love even when you have the gospel. I mean, I've always known about heaven and Heavenly Father's plan and I know I'll see those I love again but when my grandfather died I spent months asking for him to get better... then one night I told God that I really wanted Grandpa to stay but if it was his time then I would let him go; I couldn't ask him to stay and suffer. A few weeks later (as I remember it; this was ten years ago) he quietly passed away. I don't know if my prayer had anything to do with the timing of his death but it did help me to be prepared for it.
