    I’ve seen alot of these kinds of posts so I thought I would give it a shot as well. My father has been in the hospital now for over a week and looks like he’ll be able to go home tomorrow…he is 75 and has bone and lung cancer. The reason for him going home is so that he can be “home” when he passes. My prayers that I am looking for are not for a miracle but prayers for a pieceful end. He has been a great father in that he was always there for us as kids. He introduced my brother and I into the world of the great outdoors…from camping at an early age to grouse, squirrel and deer hunting when we were old enough. He is and always will be one of my hero’s. Thank you all in advance for your kind thoughts and prayers..this is a great website and a great way to reach out!

    Time at home is valuable for your Father, and also for the entire family. Prayers for your family.
    If he needs the extra care at sometime, Hospice care is Wonderful.

    You,your father, and your family will never be alone. I will pray for a peaceful and painless passing, God will take care of him and your family. You are among friends, lean when you need to, I will ask my dad to make room in his boat, the fish are always biting in heaven.

    Your Dad , you and the family are in my prayers. Tell you Dad how much you love him and how much he means to you. Those words will mean ALOT to both you and your Dad. I had that time to say those things to my Dad a few hours before he passed away. I am very glad that we had that time together and he knew how much I loved him. It gave me a peace knowing that I had that talk with him. He couldn’t respond but I knew he was hearing me. I also talked to him about the Lord too and I know he is with him today. He was closer to HIM than I thought I found out from his pastor. I’m very thankfull for that. My Dad gave me the love I have for being on the water and my love for boats. Theres something about the water thats so peacefull. Your Dad will have that peace for eternity when hes with the Lord. You will too right along with him when you someday enter the gates of Heaven. Then you both will be together forever. Please remember that. Only the body dies. Your body is like your clothing. The real you, your soul, inside that body will live forever. Please remember and believe. You will have peace that way.
    Thanks, Bill

    DartMan,
    We are in prayer with you and your family for your Dad.
    Every passing of our love ones is difficult but we do not go in despair. We know and believe what our Lord tells us that this is also a beginning of a new journey to our true home in heaven. And we are going to end up there, too.
    The death can not separate us any more because of Christ victory over death. THIS IS OUR HOPE. THIS IS OUR JOY!!!

    Have you ever heard Minnesota’s band of Elliot Brothers?

    One of the songs they sing I would recommend for you and your Dad to hear:

    “WILL THERE BE ANY FISHING IN HEAVEN?”

    I bet your dad will love it.

    If you can’t find it, go to catch-n.com and look on forum there. I’ll post your request for prayer on our SOS PRAYERS REUQST site there.

    Blessings and prayers
    Father Walleye

    Dartman~
    My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I know exactly what you are going thru right now, 3 or 4 weeks ago don’t even remember the time anymore my mom was hospitalized and diagnosed with lung cancer from smoking meaning it is in the inner lining of the lungs so surgery is not an option she just turned 60 and wow is it ever a heart breaker finding out that someone that close to you is living for a shorter time then one would like to expect. As you stated they sent her home as well but only to return the next day after her birthday. I have not been able to go see her or attend her birthday due to me having pnuemonia, so I live each day with a phone call finding out her situation. It is a hard way to live.
    I feel your pains and not knowing where to turn and how to make the turns in life now. My prayers will have you and your family included and we can only hope for the best and the most painless way from here…

    Dartman,
    I know this is a very hard time for you and your family and you will be in my prayers. From a parents view your post really touched me. What more could any father want than to be his sons hero. He has obviously done a wonderful job raising you and as long as you draw a breath I believe he will be there with you in spirit. His journey on this Earth has been long and it is about over but yours is to now carry on the values he instilled in you. I dare say it sounds like he left you some awful big footsteps to fill.
