Dad

Keeping this short... My dad is dying. He has asked to be able to go home for his last days. His liver has shut down.

Thursday he will be able to get back home. It is also his 80th birthday. We're all praying he holds on 'til then. He has wanted to hit 80 for the past ten years.

I'd appreciate prayers for my family...

Me and my whole family will be praying for you and yours.

I only wish I knew the words that could bring comfort at a time like this, but they don't exist.....
