Thank you so much for all of your prayers. My family and I are overwhelmed by everyone’s support! I was able to make it to see my Dad. I spent the entire day yesterday and the night last night with him in his room. I am so thankful for that. While he is heavily sedated we can tell that he knows we are here.

My Dad is a very sick man. His main artery is blocked 90% but the surgeons are unable to operate because of all the combating and conflicting issues (diabetes, total kidney failure, abdominal cancer and prostate cancer). As a result they are keeping him comfortable with medication and we will allow nature to take its course. How long that will take is tough to know, but from my experience I believe it will be only a couple of days. 

My dad has made his peace and is surrounded by his family. With all of the issues that my dad had in his life, there is one moment that means more to me… and now to him than any of his failures. In 1999 my father asked God to forgive him for his past failures and chose to put his trust in Jesus. I will never forget baptizing my father on Christmas eve. That moment changed eternity. While I am extremely heartbroken to lose my father this week… I do not grieve as someone that has no hope. Because I will see him again. I continue to believe that God is good and I can trust him.
