Dear Lord, I ask you to turn this weakness into strength, suffering into compassion, sorrow into joy, and pain into comfort for others. May your servant trust in your goodness and hope in your faithfulness, even in the middle of this suffering. Let him be filled with patience and joy in your presence as he waits for your healing touch.

Please restore your servant to full health, dear Father. Remove all fear and doubt from his heart by the power of your Holy Spirit, and may you, Lord, be glorified through his life.

Sorry to hear. I just went through this with my Sister a few months ago. Even though we were close to begin with I went up to Chicago and took care of her. I fed her, administered her meds, took her for rides in the car and most importantly, talked (about everything). I was there for the last 6-weeks of her life and I can tell you that if I had to do it again, I wouldn't change a thing.

Be strong and don't miss a thing!

You're in our prayers

My father has always been a strong, thick skinned, tough as nails kind of guy. He was in the hospital a couple years ago, for about a week. He was banged up, broken wrist, punctured lung, broken ribs.... I went to the hospital daily, brought him stuff, helped him get out of bed to go to the bathroom, talked to doctors, etc. For the first time in his life, and mine, I was taking care of him, instead of him taking care of me. I think during that week, he felt very vulnerable. My mom was there too, as was my sister, but there was some kind of security feeling he had, with his son there. For once, I felt my father looked at me, not as some young selfish 'slacker', but as a ''good man''.

I'll say a prayer for him, and hope for the best. In the meantime, be sure to tell him what a great father he's been, express any regrets you may have, and assure him you'll ''take care of things'', should things go bad. I know my biggest fear if I was told tomorrow wasn't coming for me, would be whether or not my family, or loved ones would be ''ok''. Good luck. Hope he pulls through.

thanks for the kind words. he is better but the doctors say he wont be able to do the stuff he used to, but we will take care of him from this day forward I will be there for him.

Prayers sent to you and your family. I lost my father a little over a year ago and found myself wishing I had made made more time to see him. Dopnt get me wrong I would call a few timew a week and bump in to them to drop off or pick up a tool or something but didnt sit an visit nearly as much as I wish I had. Sad thing is...- my parents only live across town!

Chris@McLeod 05-21-2013 07:35 AM

Thoughts and prayers are with you and your family!
