He may not like this.....but if you don't mind...
|
|
Foot's father is on his death bed. He was treated yesterday for what was decribed to me, by foots, as "all arteries blocked except for 20% open in one".
The procedure was very hard on his father and for a time he was on life support after his heart quit. He had stabilized, but I talked to foots about 2 hours ago and he told me, "my dad is checking out".
Foots and his brothers are there with their dad but it looks very bad for him.
If you don't mind, for foots, do your thing.....I've seen the results you get.
I know my bud doesn't want a big deal made of this....just a quiet word or two would be great.
Thanks.

Well I was really hoping for the best for John and his father, after talking to you yesterday afternoon.
It ain't over til folks fight the good fight, or the good Lord decides to open up the gates.
Foots I been thinking about you since yesterday...and will through the rest of the night until I know the outcome.
I know folks get tired of hearing it, and some may have their doubts, but I believe support from the man above can give us the strength to sustain during our worst hours. He is out our side always...good and bad.

My son Billy would have been 38 today. Against my wishes he got a new fishin partner for his birthday. A 6 this evening Billy's grandfather joined him.
He fought as hard as he could but by this afternoon I saw that resolve was not gonna be enough. Resusitated from death twice in the last 3 days had taken it's toll, and neither I or my brothers wanted our father suffering any more.
Thanks to all for the thoughts and prayers.
He was a good father, husband, and man. I'm really gonna miss the crabby old forker.

I ain't got the words John, just ain't gottem'. As we all get older folks we love start to leave us one at at time...sometimes way too soon. The best a man can do is believe that someday we'll all be reunited.
Don't make it any easier at the time, I know...but it gives us hope in times of despair.
You are in my thoughts and prayers my brother.

Sorry for your loss John. If you are anything like your father was than I am sure that he lived a very full life and loved his friends and family very much.
Fishing with his grandson on his birthday for eternity, sounds like God made him an offer he just couldn't refuse.

In this world where bad things happen to good people, where it seems that the ones we love always leave us while the ones we have no love for never go away, I'll say a prayer that God lends you strength. Faith in the belief that we will all be together again someday, is all we have.
That, and our families and friends..... Godspeed to your dad, John.

Re: He may not like this.....but if you don't mind...

Sorry to hear of your loss John. If he was a good father and husband, count your blessings for having him around all those years.
Here is a little piece by Jelalludin Rumi (I know, I know, what kinda geek reads 13th century poetry? I hope this doesn't get me banned...) that you might take something from. After what you've been through in the last year, I couldn't help but thinking of this for you:
The Guest House
This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they are a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still, treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice.
meet them at the door laughing and invite them in.
Be grateful for whatever comes.
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.
As crappy as it all seems, trust "each has been sent as a guide from beyond."
You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers...
