Prayers Needed

Posted on September 3, 2023

I’m stepping away from blogging for to awhile.  Daddy’s condition didn’t improve.  While trying to put him back on the ventilator Saturday night, his heart beat dropped/stopped.  The hospital tried CPR but his heart was too weak.  He departed this world for his everlasting life at midnight.  My heart is broken but I know he’s in a far better place.  Please pray for me and my family during these difficult days. Thank you!

    So sorry, Cathy. May what seems like a hole soon become an eternal portal between two hearts. Talk to him often.
    Best wishes and a big welcome to the little one 😉

    CATHY, I just now saw this.
    I’m going to pray right now, and will continue praying for you and your family.

    This is such a tough thing to deal with (I know from first-hand experiences), but I also know that YOU know that… the BEST times are coming!!

    “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,
    Nor have entered into the heart of man
    The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”
    ~ 1 Corinthians 2:9

      Thank you, Stephen!

      I know where Daddy is and he’s happy once more. Being laid up in the hospital in the state that he was in, he wasn’t happy. He wanted Mommy to take him home so badly. Daddy was the last in his family to pass, living longer than his mom or siblings. In June when we went up for a visit, he said, “I want to live to see 100.” I told him that he might just do that. God had other plans, though. Thank you for your prayers and I cherish the scripture you chose to share with me – simply beautiful!

      Thank you, Brian. Yes, please keep those non-stop pawwwryers going. It’s going to be really hard on Friday to say goodbye to Daddy. I’m thankful that we got to speak to him before he had the heart cauterization. He sounded good and fearless. A long time ago, Daddy booked his heavenly destination and knew God was in control. The moment, he crossed over he was a new creature everything from this life was made new. He’s happy and healthy once more. The best part is I will see him again. God bless, my furriend!

      I appreciate your prayers for me and my family. You’re so right about the blessings on the way. My son’s wife is to be induced this Saturday, so before the weekend is up, we’ll meet our grandson! And, while Daddy won’t get to see his great-grandson in this life, I like to think he’ll be smiling down on the new parents as they bring a new life into this world. 🙂 Blessings to you, my friend!
