Sorry, this is going to be one of those downer
kinda posts. That's just where I am today.
Paul's dad's cancer is pretty much throughout his
body. There's not much they can or are willing
to do as he's 72 and not in the best health anyway.
The Dr told him they can do chemo but it's not going
to cure anything...it may just prolong things a bit-
and make him miserable in the meantime.
They gave him 3-6 months, and said a year would be
an absolute miracle.
I am sad. I am troubled. But not for the reasons you
think. Yes, I am sad that he is dying, but I know he is
saved and has said he is ready to go home to Jesus so as
sad as his dying is, I know where he's going and that is
some comfort.
I am sad that the kids and I hardly know him. I am troubled
that we are not closer to him, and that he is dying without
really knowing his grandchildren or them really knowing
him. I am bothered that he and his son never really got along.
Paul and his dad have never been close, and although they
have both made huge strides in the last few years to remedy
the situation, they still don't have a typical father-son
relationship. And now it's almost too late to change anything.
I am praying that they can resolve 37 years of issues in
3-6 months. Sounds impossible, but with God, all things
are possible. I think Paul really needs to face his dad,
say him what needs to be said, and give him his forgiveness.
And I pray that his dad will listen.
I've never known anyone who's been handed a death sentence
and it is truly bizarre. I can't wrap my brain around it.
We have told the children he has cancer, but haven't told them
he only has a short time left. I don't think we will tell them.
It's hard enough for me to process...I can't imagine being young
and having to deal with it.
Thank you for praying along with me when I posted about the
his cancer the first time. You cannot know how much it means
to know that I have friends that I've never even met
(and a few I have!) who are
willing to go before the Lord and petition on the behalf of
my family member. Thank you, thank you. You
all mean so much to me!
