An extra prayer for my Dad please

It is a with a sad and breaking heart that I tell you my father is fighting for his life after his surgery last week. I doubt I will be posting this week as we are at the hospital all hours. As I told you with my peony post he was tickled pink with your good wishes, thoughts and prayers. It gave him the biggest smile and for that I am grateful to all of you who shared such in your comments.   Now I want to ask you to pray for him, me and my family. Maybe with the force of all your prayers we can now send comfort and peace his way. You are always my most wonderful supporters, even in the sad times and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. XO

    Sande, I apologize. I must have missed a post or two and have been terrible about blogging during my busy wedding season.

    I am so very sorry to read that your father is not well.

    He will be in my thoughts and prayers, as well as you and your family.

    Take good care.

    Sande, I cannot tell you how sorry I am for you and your family at this time. Just stay with your father as much as possible and forget about blogging for a time. I will ask for a special novena to be said in his name, and will keep a candle burning for him. Just know the Lord is with you at all times. sending xx's Marsha

Oh, how well I know the hurt of seeing your dad going through this. He is so important in life and you just do not like seeing him go through pain. Definitely, you will be remembered.

    I am so very sorry, I have been where you are - and I know of no words to comfort you. It hurts so badly when it is your Dad~~~

    I will promise to pray for you and your family. Just knowing that so many of your blogging friends are praying for you must be some comfort for you~~~
