Prayer request for my Dad

My Dad needs your prayers - and a card, if you could.
After successfully battling colon cancer 4 1/2 years ago - and 3 follow up surgeries to correct problems with his colostomy - he was recently diagnosed with terminal cancer, with tumors on his spine and lung.
He started radiation treatments on one tumor but became too weak to get out of the house. We will be bringing in hospice care in a few days.
Your prayers for comfort are appreciated.
Why a card? My Dad is a collector of things. My local FReeper friends that have seen his house can attest to that. Pictures and cards are very meaningful to him. Computers and the Internet are not his cup glass of iced tea. If I printed this thread and presented it to him it wouldn't mean nearly as much as a card.
My Dad (Wilburn) is 80 years old and a widower. He served in the Pacific in WWII in the Navy Signal Corps.
Freepmail me for his address if you can send a card. I will reply as soon as I can.

You know you and your Dad will be in my prayers. I hate that you're having to go through this.
I'll be FReepmailing you for that address. I can send a "postcard from the edge" and I happen to have a few right here. I can drop it in the mail this evening when I go to chow.
May God comfort you both.

Just lost my dad at 96 yo last month, so you have my support as well as the other kind wishes left by other freepers.
God bless.
