I love you Dad! I'll see you when I get there, too!

I will post pictures as soon as I find them.

Things so far

These has been a hard couple of years. Besides our debt
problems, we had some unmentionable family problems. Then, Mary's
illness took a lot out of us, physically and emotionally. After she got
better (she still experiences pain in her abdomen) we started to have
serious disagreements with folks in our church of 17 years. We left
that church. There is much pain in our hearts about it. And the whole
issue is unmentionable, too. So, we just have to stuff it, keep it
inside and not tell anyone, just Mary and I keep it to ourselves.
Then our daughter got married to a great guy from a great
family. Since we only had just Melanie, Mary and I are "empty-nesters".
So we are happy yet sad.
Now my dad is dying. And I am trying to balance job, family,
money, and actually weather.
I guess I am asking for prayer. I'm already talking to God. If
you talk to him, too, for me it'll help.
Dad is in Mt. Carmel East in Columbus, Ohio with a deteriorating
heart. He had a blood clot in his leg and carved it all up in 3
operations, which means he was on anestesia for a while which made his
heart worse. It is already only 25% functioning.
I'll try to write more often.
