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.
Dad in the Pacific
Prayers.
Thanks, know it is appreciated.

Ya gotta look at who raised me!
Thanks.
Thanks, Allegra. This will mean a lot to my Dad and you know I appreciate it.
What a great photo of your dad. Send me his address, and I'll be proud to send him a card. Prayers for you and him at this difficult time.
Many are not even qualified to polish them.
Thanks.
Thanks so much. Please know it is appreciated.
Prayers for your Dad, and you too, Flyer.
I lost my dear daddy to lung cancer on May 25th, so I know the pain you are going through. He was able to spend his last days in the home that he lived and grew up in, surrounded by his loving family, thanks to Hospice. These people are angels sent from heaven. When he passed, they took care of everything, so he could die with the dignity in which he lived his life.
My prayers are going out for your dear dad, and prayers of strength for you and yours during this very difficult time. A card for your dad is forthcoming.
Thanks. . . mail on the way.
Thanks for caring and know it is appreciated.
