grandad's rally

it seems my grandad is making small improvements each day. i just got off the phone to mum who is at the hospital now (we are doing it in shifts so it's not too tiring for him) and they are about to take him for a walk in a wheelchair. how amazing is that. you get the call to come in and say goodbye and then little by little he starts to shows signs of hope. it's been quite the roller coaster ride of emotions and it still is. you don't want to get your hopes up too high but at the same time you're overjoyed that he is still with us and fighting. he is so sweet it almost hurts. when you ask him how he's feeling he croaks 'not too bad love' and he squeezes your hand hard. we still don't really know what is going to happen but the latest turn of events, no matter how small, has everyone smiling again. mum keeps saying he has rallied which i love. she and my aunts have been so strong while i feel like i have returned to the age of 5 with lots of tears, the use of 'it's not fair' and extra attention and cuddles from everyone around me. i'm very lucky to have them. thanks also to all of my friends that have sent messages of love and support. your thoughts for grandad seem to be helping!
