Horsje Rosary
You know, Willem, the beads on the rosary are really just to help you keep count of your prayers. So you could use something else instead.
Karroten, for example. With every bite of karroten that you eat, you could say a prayer for your grandpa (you loff him).

Thursday at 9 he is going to see his neurosurgeon, so fingers crossed that they’ll schedule the date right away. We are hoping that they can do it through his nose this time, so that it won’t involve the icky stuff like on Discovery Channel.
I called my parents last night and told them about all your good wishes and my mom was especially flabbergasted, because I don’t think the concept of the BB has totally sunk in with her yet (the only time she ever saw anything on the internet was the time I made her come upstairs at my parents’ while I was checking email, and grossly showed her www.pullmyfinger.com). They both thank everyone.
I love you!
