To all who reads this.. Please say a prayer for my father.. He is in bad health and they are not sure how much longer he is going to be with us. He has suffered for going on 3 yrs now. I am not able to go home and see him right now but keep in touch with them everyday. So please if you can do me this one favor..
Thanks

Thanks all.. When I talked to my mom today he wasnt having a good day. he dont leave the house unless he has a dr. appt. He is on his oxygen all the time now. She said that when he was at the dr yesterday that they dont think he is going to be here much longer. I love my dad to death and hate to see him suffer. He has given up on the fight and he just wants to rest in peace now. He has gone as far as to write letters to all of us kids with personal messages in it for mom to give to all of us kids. Thanks for asking all I really appreciate it.

update on father.. he is doing alright but they still say that they dont think he is going to be around much longer.. to be honest I think it would be a god sent if the pain just ended and he was able to go to heaven.. i know you probably think that sounds mean but i say that cause i love him

No, we don't think that sounds mean.

None of us like to see our loved ones suffer.

If he has made his peace with God, he may just be waiting for you and others to let him go, so that he can take that journey home.

Gunny, I know what you must be going through I just lost my father two days before Thanksgiving, he had a short 4 month battle with cancer. I guess I felt the same way you do, I was upset, but glad to see him move on. He went from just over 200 lbs to 85 lbs at the time of his death. It was a horrible thing.

My thoughts and prayers are with you Gunny.

Take care and Semper FI.

Thanks all for everything.. I thought I should jump on here and let you know that he isnt doing well once again. He has had some bad spells. He actually told my mom a couple days ago that if he gets worse or sick that he does not want her to call 911 or take him to the hospital. He said he is done fighting and just wants it to end..

My prayer is that your prayer will be answered by GOD,hang in there, losing a dad is terrible, I've already lost mine. Also remember, that when he does go, he will be in the arms of Jesus, and will have a perfect body, no more pain.

an update on my father when i talked to my mom this morning she told me that he went to the dr and that she told him that his disease is progressing faster than they anticipated that it would. she did say that the better part of the information was that he will never know when it happens.. she said that when he goes it will be in his sleep. so please everyone please keep him in your prayers.. Thanks to everyone so far.. you guys are great.

Gunny...being a retired R.N. who worked in the ICU there were many nights I sat with patients who were ready for their trip to the Good Lord. Often the other nurses and I sat with these patients and silently prayed for a peaceful end. It's hard to face it when your father is the one undergoing such pain. You can be sure my prayers are for your father and you and the rest of your family. Semper Fi.....and Peace. Arlene

Here is the most recent update on my father. My mom had a very bad scare today when my dad was eating lunch.. She thought she lost him then.. To be honest from the sounds of things and the way that things are going I dont think it is going to be much longer. Thanks for all your prayers and kind words.. I will keep you updated as I get more information on my dad..

Thanks everyone. I called and talked to my dad for a couple seconds today. He never tells me the truth of how he is feeling. I then talked to my mom and she said that right now everything is about the same..

I as well as my family will have You and Yours in our prayers Gunny. I to have lost my father 10 years ago (was by his side when he died) was very hard to let him go eventhough I know he was going to a better place with no pain.

Hope everthing goes okay.
