The heart has reasons that reasons don't understand

Ironically all that has been on my mind as of lately is the heart.
The heart not only is an important organ that is responsible for bringing the body life, but it also is very gentle. Fernando Soave once said, "our heart carries the wings of our dreams and our desire to realize them." I couldn't agree more. The heart can also be bitter and contain wickedness and bad intentions. I guess the heart can kind of have a love/hate relationship with us. It can make you who you are. I don't know if I give it enough credit. The Bible says, "a happy heart makes the face cheerful, but heartache crushes the spirit."

Saturday morning my grandpa had a heart attack and throughout the whole week has been in the hospital. Tomorrow (8-1-08) he will be having open heart surgery. I don't know really what else to say. I know people that don't talk to their grandparents besides holidays or would rather do anything but spend time with them. However my grandparents revolve around my family. We always monitor the decisions we make as a family because in one way or another our decisions affect them. I guess my grandpa can be considered the mediator of my family. In a way I kind of consider him another form or a closer form of my father. He is more than just a grandpa. This sounds kind of cheesy, but in total honesty he's such a peaceful, loving, caring, generous man. If something happens to my grandpa, I will respect God's decision. It's hard to trust God in situations like these. You want to hold the doctor's words high but sometimes you forget the ultimate doctor is the Lord and in the end he is the only one who can mend your broken heart. I'd like to say a thank you for my friends who have been there for me in this time, thank you doesn't feel like enough personally, but I truly appreciate it, I love you.
