Just wanted you to know I was thinking about you and that you and your family are in my prayers.
Heavenly Father, Jehovah Rapha, our God of healing, you provide comfort and strength, not only to the afflicted, but also to their friends and family. While we pray for healing in his body, we accept that only you know the plan for our sister's father. I beseech you that you keep him comfortable and take away his pain. If he must leave to join You in Your Heavenly Abode, I ask that you make his last moments lucid so he may once more be able to speak words of love to those in his family. We entrust him to You, knowing that you care for and protect your children. I implore you to hold Maria and her family in your hands during their time of sorrow and sadness. Comfort their souls and heal their hearts as they spend these days by the bedside of their beloved family member. We lift these prayers to You, exalting Your Glorious Name and invoking the name of your Blessed Son Jesus, in accordance with Your Word. Amen

Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. I Corinthians 13:7
I am so sorry to hear about your Dad. My heart goes out to you and your gorgeous little ones. I'm only a few hours away if you need a friend and aam thinking of you,
I'm so sorry I've been absent for so long. I should have checked up on you instead of burrowing my head in my own issues. I'm caught up and very sad by what I read.
I had comments to put in from previous posts, but nothing I can say is relevant right now. I agree w/ the others that you need to focus on your father and continue to do all that you can to be w/ him.
Your STBX is an a-hole for not helping you as you deserve to be w/ your father. As a father of a daughter, I can't think of anything more important than for him to know how much you love him and for him to see how well you've turned out. You are strong and wonderful and he is beaming w/ pride because he's your father.
Spend time w/ him and enjoy every second. Make him laugh as you share your love. I will be praying for you and you will be in my thoughts, my dear. My friend.
I'm just catching up on you sitch, I'm very sorry to hear bout your Dad and only wish I could offer you some words of comfort. Well, I'm here for you as are all of your other friends.
I am travelling this week for a new job and am just now catching up. I have expressed in the past my feelings about your dad and his relationship with his daughter. In my everyday world, I never know what to say in theses types of situations becasue I do not believe that anything I say will make a difference. Well it is no different in this cyber world. I am very sorry for the pain you and your family are experiencing. I hope your dad senses your hope and fights through this other hurdle. This is probably very difficult for you to even think about doing right now but I think that the best thing you can do when you are around him is act as if everything is ok. and let that sunshine of yours shine all over him. Your dad, you and your whole family are in my thoughts. un abbracio affetuoso.....
I cant thank you enough for the wishes. My dad did have surgery yesterday. They called in the morning and said they had to do it because he had fever and there were no signs of improvement. Actually all the tests showed it was getting worse not better. So I left work and went to the hospital. The surgery went well. They took him very late so we spent a few hours together. I did tell him again how much I love him again and he and mom were hugging and he promised to her he was coming out alive and honestly after that I felt at peace (44-45 years of marriage). He was joking with me and looked pretty good actually...
Well, now he is in intesive care, he was to go back to the room this morning but they are keeping him a while longer. My mom is falling apart and so is my brother who is dealing wih this by repeating "it's over, he is gone etc etc". Of course that doesnt help our PMA much, but I figured that it is his way of preparing for the worst and probably secretly he is hoping for the best.
Yesterday it was another difficult day but since I have had a couple of those recently all feelings were familiar and manageable. I did feel a bit lonely but thank God my friends and people I love dearly were all thinking of me and checking on me.
I have a lot to share about stbX but I will later. Thank you again for everything K
I'm glad to hear that your dad came through the surgery. I will pray that his stay in ICU will be short and they will be able to move him to a regular room soon.
Your brother is being a pessimist so that when the best happens he will feel relief. I understand that all too well as that is my own personality. Trust me, you are right, he is secretly hoping for the best.
Hold on to your mom now. She needs your strength. I know it's hard to give when you don't have anyone close holding you up but if you close your eyes you can picture all of us, your cyber friends, holding you tightly and loving you with every last ounce of our own strength.
We love you Maria. Please be good to yourself during this difficult time. We will be here for you whenever you need us.

I'm glad to hear he's recovering. Just continue to do what you can to be there for him and enjoy whatever time you have from now forward.
We pray before every class, so you will be my only "special intention" for the next few days. I'll also look to slide into the chapel to talk to the Big Guy one-on-one on your behalf.
Keep letting him know he is loved and appreciated by you regardless of what happens. Let him continue to be proud of the wonderful woman his little girl has become.
