Well… If I have learned something about life it is this:
You are
either coming out of trial, in a trial, or about to begin one.
My father on the other hand has lived one for the past
twenty years, but he never complains. On
December 10, Dad will have his second leg amputated just below the knee. As many of you know, he had the first one
done last year at about the same time.
In order for his quality of life to continue at a reasonable state, this
operation must be done.
During our many long conversations, it is extremely clear
that my father’s mindset is once again set to the highest level of
determination. He is truly an
inspiration. His confidence and faith in
the Lord’s will has inspired me throughout my life, and with the inevitable
future of no longer having his lower legs, he continues to be my hero, mentor
and best friend.
We are asking everyone to please pray for him as he
approaches the surgery and for his strong recovery after. The fight will be difficult for our entire
family, but we believe this is just the next bridge that needs crossing. Thank you all for your continued love
throughout the many years. I truly
believe the unwavering support has lifted the hopes and spirits of both my
mother and father. And as for myself, I
am forever grateful to all the friends, family members, and acquaintances that
have helped me along the difficult journey.
“Whenever I am afraid, I will trust
in You.
In God (I will praise His
word), In God I have put my trust;
I will not fear. What can flesh
do to me? In God I have put my trust;
I will not be afraid. What can
man do to me?
For You have delivered my soul
from death.
Have You not kept my feet from
falling, That I may walk before God In the light of the living?”
Psalm 56 3-4, 11, 13
Thank you all so much!
