RK's prayer

My Grandpa has had a rough month or so. He had a kidney removed and has spent lots of time in the hospital due to phnuemonia and other related ailments. He was home and better and this weekend he was re-admitted because of some swelling and infection in his leg.
When we went to Disney in February we were lucky enough to spend the day with him at Magic Kingdom...my whole childhood is filled with lots of memories of Grandpa, most of them at Disney World. So I was thankful that my kids got to have some of those, too, even for a day.
RK knows that Great Grandpa has been sick and in the hospital. A couple weeks ago she said she wanted to say a prayer for him to get better.
"Dear Grandpa, please feel better soon because you love Cinderella."
I know there will be many more opportunities for my kids to have great memories of their Great Grandpa because he is the toughest guy I know...he's been through worse than this. I also know that he is going to get better because of prayers just like the one RK said.
We don't need long, complex, "holy" prayers. Just simple ones.
Mine is, "God, please make my Grandpa better because I love his waffles."
Please feel free to add your own.

Grandpa, please feel better, because a world without your cheesecake is a sad place.
