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.

I work with my father,now 73,and showed him this thread(which is not normally his glass of tea either). He admires men like your your father who served bravely as he lost his brother in Belgium. We both pass along our sincere gratitude for your father's service and know that he is in our our prayers.
