A dear friend collapsed a few days ago and is seriously ill in hospital. His Wife, a Gransnetter, wants no flowers or get well wishes, but just asks that anyone who can will now pray, light a candle, or just wish and hope, to help support them in this way.

I can't imagine how she feels - this afternoon the situation has worsened and I'm so sad for them both.

Please all you lovely Grans, you've done it before, wish hard for him now. Let's see if we can turn this situation around, as we've done for others.

Thank you so much x

Good Morning to a group of such warm and caring people.
My friend has asked me to say that she’s overwhelmed by your empathy and concern and what a difference it makes when lovely strangers can lift you and give you fresh hope with their kindness.

Thank you so very much - you’re wonderful to do this.

And please don’t stop hoping, it really does make such a difference.

Brought up as RC, the saying is "once a Catholic, always a Catholic", so although I don't attend Mass nowadays (for reasons other than religious) and don't pray often, I always do when asked. So I will say a prayer and hope it is heard.

I will say a prayer for your friend and for his wife too, Grandmafrench.
Prayers and positive thoughts do help, I am sure.

I don't pray either but send positive vibes to your friend and echo corner's words to look after yourself too.

I don’t pray grandmafrench even so your friend and his wife are sent loving, positive, healing thoughts. We’re not at home st the moment, as soon as we are there will be a candle lit for him. Please also accept caring thoughts for yourself, you too carry a burden.
