Hey friends. I wanted to take a break from my normal posting to let you know what’s been going on with me and my family. Yesterday morning I got a phone call from my mom that my grandfather had a stroke. Long story short, the doctors think that he may have had a heart attack first which was part of what triggered the stroke. He’s never really been the healthiest of individuals (he was actually already in the hospital when this happened for a shoulder reversal surgery), so…yeah. There’s still lots of tests to be done but basically right now it’s just one of those things where only time will tell.
This is where I need your help:
My grandma is probably the biggest fan of Sound Eats EVER. She religiously checks the blog multiple times a day and in my Christmas card I even got a , “P.S. I love your blog!”. 
Tomorrow I’m going to be posting a “Prayers for Pap” (Pap is what we call my grandfather) post, where I am going to be posting every thought, well wishes, prayers and more that you all leave in the comments or email me. (I don’t think Grandma’s quite figured out the comments yet, so that’s why I’ll do a separate post). There’s so little any of us can do right now, but I have a strong feeling that seeing all of your (our!) well wishes, prayers and thoughts that we’re pulling for Pap written out would mean more than we could ever imagine to my grandmother.
Thank you so much in advance for your well wishes and prayers, friends. And thank you for helping me try to support my grandparents in one small little way.
You and your family are definitely in my prayers. My grandfather had a stroke when I was younger and it definitely shook my family up quite a bit. I know how scary and uncertain it can feel. Just now that you have someone in California praying for all of you!
And if you ever want to email, I’m always here. amanda.mcgreevy@gmail.com
We will keep you grandma and grandpa in our thoughts and prayers!! Sounds like you have a great strong family ; ) HUGS!!!
Much love, thoughts and prayers go out to Pap and your family. He looks like he is a fighter. We will all be thinking of your family. xoxo
My prayer for pap-
Lord, may you bring peace and comfort to the troubled and worried hearts of this family. Be with Pap and lay your healing hand over his soul. You bring hope to sadness and reason to despair and may we all have faith that you are with Pap during this time.
Bless you Lindsey and Grandma!
<3 you!
You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Stay strong, dear. All my love. God bless.

I am a regular reader, but i do not comment often. But..i had to give you my support at your time of need and prayers. Sending positive vibes to your family and your grandparents look adorable. Take care…
Sweet Lindsey, Grandma, and Pap,
I just prayed for you all and will keep you in my prayers during this time of uncertainty and waiting. I pray for peace in the waiting period and healing for Pap.
It is the Lord who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not fail you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed. (Deuteronomy 31:8)
Your pap will be in my prayers!
“The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.” Lam. 3:22-23
He’s in my prayers. xo
I will be praying for him and your family.
This is actually one of my favorite verses, and I can’t think of anything better for you and your family to rest on:
“My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.” – Psalm 73:26
I pray that courage, strength, and peace be with you and your family (especially you – Grandma!). Sometimes these things are completely beyond our understanding, but know that God is in control and His peace PASSES all our understanding. Love & prayers. Keep us posted. xoxo
Quick recovery to your pap. He’s a lucky one to have such a thoughtful granddaughter! Peace and strength to your family.
Lord, I pray that You will be with Lindsey and her family right now. I ask, Father, that You will be with Pap and that you will touch him with Your healing Hand. I pray that Your peace will surround his family as they go through this trying time and that you would heap strength on their heads. Give the doctors wisdom and guidance as they care for Pap. Thank you for hearing our prayers and for keeping this family tightly in Your grip. In Jesus’ Name we pray. Amen.
PS-Love you, Linds <3
Times like these are never easy … but one thing I do whole heartedly believe, prayer does change things, and God is always there making ALL things work together for the good of those that love Him. I pray that the Lord will be with your family and bring comfort, peace and hope to believe that somehow, with Him, everything is going to be all right!
Prayers sent. Big strong huge ones.
p.s you look goregous in your wedding pic.
I will keep your pap in my prayers, my son, fiance, and I will say a prayer for him tonight, I send thoughts and prayers to you and your family : ) xoxo stay strong!!
Oh gosh Linds! Praying with all my heart..
I pray for Pap and your family, I pray that God will just surround you all with comfort and peace as he recovers. I pray that he recovers quickly and that you all stay strong through all of this! I mostly pray that you will all just grow closer in love through this as well, that it helps you appreciate every single moment with him. Praying for Grandma as well, Grandma I hope you will somehow find peace from God through this difficult time! I pray the Lord just fills you with his spirit and that you feel his peace like a giant hug! All my thoughts and prayers.
Love you Lindsey!!
I’m so sorry about your grandfather. He’s in my thoughts.
oh no! I’m so sorry this is happening, i know how frustrating it must feel and how stress it can bring into your life. The best thing to do right now is to be a positive energy source in your family (which you are!!) – your family is in my thought and prayers!! wishing everything passes over!
Hey Linds you can post this for me so Grandma can see it! Thanks.
I love you Pap! Get better soon, I can’t wait to see you. Stay strong and get better!!
Grandma – I love you! Keep hanging in there. You’re such a strong person and I know you’ll get through this. I can’t wait to come down in a month when I’m on break and see you and Pap. Love you both!!
Your family is in my thoughts! My grandfather has had a rough year, health-wise and I know how hard it can be on the family. I pray that your Pap will get through this and be stronger for it! From one granddaughter to another…hugs!!
You, your Pap, your grandmother, and the rest of your family are in my prayers and will stay there. I hope feels better soon.
Praying, praying and praying. Your grandpa looks like such a lovely man, and I am really pulling for him over here.
LOVE YOU LINDSEY!!!
Sending good vibes your way. You and your family will be in my thoughts.
I read your blog everyday and have never commented before, but I just want you to know that I am thinking and praying for you and your Pap right now. I call my grandfather Pap as well, and I know for a fact that all Paps are awesome
.
I’ll be thinking of you and your family, and hoping that your grandfather recovers soon!
Of course you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I’ll never forget the kindness you showed me last fall. In fact, I’m going to send you a message off the blog now. Thinking of you often and wishing for the best. We’re pulling for you, Pap!
Thoughts and prayers for your family and Grandpa!
I will be thinking of all of you during this time and hoping for a quick recovery for Pap.
I’m thinking of your family and your grandfather and sending healing thoughts his way. Hugs
My Grandmother had a stroke this past summer, and though it wasn’t easy, she made a full recovery. I am praying so, so much for your Grandfather and his full recovery!!
Your Pap and family will be in thoughts and prayers!
Sending your Pap, Grandma and entire family positive thoughts! You seem to have a lovely family, and I hope your love and strength for one another will bring you through all of this.
[...] My Grandfather Could Use Your Prayers [...]
I hope Pap has a quick recovery and comes out stronger than ever! I’m sending lots of good thoughts and love to you and your family!
My heart goes out to you and your family. We lost my dad this winter to cancer and I know how tough it is to watch a close family member struggle. I can’t imagine what that phone call was like. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Stay strong. <3
I will be thinking of you and your pap and wish him a speedy recovery! Lots of love to you and your family!
Your family is in my prayers!
