Life marches on

Haven't mentioned it before but my Father has been turned over to Hospice for care. His 2+ year battle against colon cancer cannot continue without making him sicker than the cancer has. He is declining quickly and I fear he will not see his next birthday (87) in October. At 56 years old it is difficult to think that for the first time in my life I will not have him to consult on a wide range of matters. He has enjoyed a full life and our family has a strong history of faith in the Creator of all that is. Life marches on but is always temporary for the participants. I pray that my merciful God will make his transition to the next life an easy one.

    Sorry to hear about this, I remember your mentioning his illness in the past. You and I are about the same age, I've got you by a tad, I lost my Dad 18 years ago, still wish I could sit and talk with him about stuff that's going on. Well, I can, but....Very sad for you to be going through this.

    Mine's been gone for 16 years. I still get the urge to call him. Keep the faith brother Gypsy.
