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

Consider my prayer list extended, Crosstitchfan. I am very sorry to hear of such a young child being so ill and I sincerely hope that the wonderful treatments available now are successful for them. I guess when one is in a very bad place and believes in the power of prayer, it is natural to ask friends here for help. My very best wishes to the little one.

Firstly Grandmafrench, of course I’ll put your friend’s husband on my prayer list. I’ve never underestimated the power of prayer, but what I’ve always tried to remember, too, is that sad as it is, one has to recognise that sometimes “no” is also an answer and so hard to bear. Secondly, I do understand where crosstitchfan is coming from, and feel for her sadness, too, another one to add. I wonder if there should perhaps be a special forum on GN for these sort of posts? Perhaps there is and I’ve never spotted it.

Thank you to all you lovely, supportive people. I have a wonderful family, but it is so comforting to know that people outside the family care too.

Just to let you all know that I haven’t left, although I thought I should at one point. I am getting so much love and support from you all that it woukd be silly to go. So you are stuck with me and I am very grateful.

Praying now for GrandmaFrench's friend's husband, and for Crossstitchlover's wee one, for all who love them and worry about them, and for all the healthcare professionals who care for them.
Hoping and praying for the best possible outcomes. 🕯🙏🕯🙏🕯🙏🕯🙏🕯
