**UPDATED 11/13/09 - Thank you for your precious comments and emails. Even more importantly, thank you for praying. My Pawpaw is still holding on. I've removed details as requested by part of the family. But I still ask that you continue to pray. Thank you, sisters, for being faithful to lift up my family.
For those who aren't following me on twitter, I wanted to request prayer here. My Pawpaw had a massive stroke yesterday while we were at the convention. He isn't doing well. Will you pray for him and for my family?
Also I really appreciate all your emails asking about Mai. As soon as we got back to the hotel room yesterday at lunch time, she was waiting in the hall. She immediately ran to me and hugged me. She told Josh "Me love her!" which made me nearly bust into tears. There is a Vietnamese church in that area and the pastor sent us a Vietnamese Bible to give her and placed his business card inside. I gave it to her and she asked me, "This a good book? You like it?" I told her it was my favorite book and I loved it! I told her it would tell her about Jesus. She cried and cried when we left. The Vietnamese pastor was going to try to track her down and talk to her in person yesterday. I haven't heard yet if he found her or if he was able to share the gospel with her. I'm praying. I know she has the Word of God now and He can reveal to her the truth about Jesus. I also gave her my phone number. Pray for Mai to come to know Jesus personally.
Thank you for your prayers and I would really appreciate it if you would continue to lift up my mom, my Mawmaw, and the rest of my family in this hard time.

Amber,
I rejoice with you in the progress Mai is making, and I ache with you as your family faces the challenges regarding your grandfather. I will keep praying for everything mentioned...and that God would just wrap His loving arms around you so tightly that you can't leave His presence.
Love,
Tara
Praise God for his infinite wisdom to place you in Mai's life at this moment in time. I'm praying for your family. I know we went through this 13 years ago with my Grandfather and it was the toughest decision ever. I pray that God will bring you peace no matter what decision is made and that he give you all strength to go through the next days.
My family just faced a similar situation that you are facing with your pawpaw. It is hard to let them go but it is so much better for them to be out of pain. I will pray for you and your family for peace in such a very rough time.
Praying!
