My Father
 

Hello CP:

I got word today that my father was taken to the ER with what they suspect was a stroke. Unfortunately, after CT and MRI scans, they found two lesions on his brain. They believe that he has cancer somewhere else in his body and that these lesions have metastasized from that. My family and I are waiting for more word from his doctors.

I am beside myself. My father is an amazing man and until now, in unbelievable health considering his age (70) and what he has been through in his life. We were just on a tropical island together SCUBA and skin diving, with him able to descend on lung power far lower than I.

I don't have any friends except for family. I've never really had the need. But, I feel that need now. If you would, please say a prayer, send good thoughts or anything positive toward my father.

My thanks in advance.

Donger.

Sorry to hear, Donger. Prayers your way for you and your family.

Sorry to hear, I've been going through something similar with my grandpa it's insane how fast life changes.

Your father is in my prayers, Donger.

I am so sorry to hear this Donger. My thoughts and prayers are with you, your family, and especially your Dad.

Thinking of you man. Hang in there.

Sorry, Donger. Prayer said, good vibes sent. And by the way, you do have friends.

May all beings everywhere,
plagued with sufferings of body and mind,
quickly be freed from their illnesses.

May those frightened cease to be afraid,
and may those bound be free.

May the powerless find power,
and may people think of befriending each other.

Prayers sent

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary,
that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection,
implored your help or sought your intercession,
was left unaided.

Inspired with this confidence,
I fly to you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother;
to you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful.

O Mother of the Word Incarnate,
despise not my petitions,
but in your mercy hear and answer me.

Amen.

Prayers sent. Hang in there.

done

I'm very sorry to hear that, Donger. You and your father have my best.

Sending all the good thoughts and well wishes I can to your father, and you, Donger...

I know it is tough to do right now, but try to stay strong for your father and the rest of your family...They need your strength...

Sorry to hear this news bud. Grandpa had a stroke that took his cognitive thinking. He had problems with that and memory loss. He spent his remaining years living with family until passing in his late 80s. He was my hero. While it pained me greatly that it changed and weakened him I cherished the remaining years he was with us even though he could not do the things he did before.

Reading your post reminded me of him. Not that their stroke and symptoms were/are similar or anything like that. It just hits me hard because like I said he was my hero and best friend. Basically the only father I ever knew even though he was my grandpa.

I pray for the best outcome possible for him. I pray for his doctors that they find the best way to fight and treat all of his pain. I pray for you and the family that you remain strong through all of this and I also pray that you continue to ask your friends here for such support when ever the need arises. Lord knows I haven't always prayed in times of need or asked for others to do so for my family. But I have become better and learned it does help. I'm no longer afraid, embarrassed, stubborn, whichever the case was I no longer worry or think twice about it. Personal growth I suppose. I'm a very private person.

Not comparing ourselves, you and I. I just want you to know I think in some way I can relate to times like this. God bless all those involved my friend :thumb:

Stay strong

Dang dude. That's rough. I have so many questions but I don't want to appear patronizing. Your pops is in my prayers.

Prayers sent man.

May the Lord grant your father grace and peace.
