Prayer request for my Dad
Self | Thursday, July 8, 2004 | Flyer

Posted on 07/08/2004 4:39:16 AM PDT by Flyer

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.

Thanks for the prayers.

Now, is that sweet tea or regular?

Now that you are in Texas you need to learn that *ALL* tea is sweet tea.

Flyer, I'm so sorry about your dad. Prayers have been sent for his comfort and peace with the Lord. Please send me his addy. I'd like to thank him for his service to our country.

My dad will be 85 in 3 months. He too is a WWII vet, and has had colon cancer. They got his in time and he has been cancer free for 5 years. Those WWII vets are a tough bunch of guys. Btw, tell your dad he looked real cute in that grass skirt. :-)

Please Freepmail me the address. My uncle is a little over 80 and was in the 101st Signal Battalion. I'm looking at pictures of him and his buddies on Leyte - they look so young.

Sorry to hear about your Dad, Flyer. Prayers are on the way. I lost my Dad a few years back, and the fact that he lived a full, happy, and meaningful life has been a consistent comfort.

PRAYERS for the Lord's comfort and peace that passes understanding.

May The Lord make Himself extra, extra REAL AND PRESENT to your dad and you these trying days.

Am terrible about getting normal mail off but will try if you wish to freepmail me the address and full name.

May THE GOD OF ALL COMFORT be tangibly evident in a multitude of ways these days.

Have prayed, will pray.

This one?

That's a Texas joke. The Ellis Unit is a prison.
