I have another big favor

[goodude26]

Hi all. I need your guys' support and prayers again this time for my dad.

He is an amputee, his right leg was amputated about a year ago. We just found out that his left foot has very poor circulation and, if possible, needs a bypass surgery done.
Bad thing is, he has a weak heart. The doctors ran some tests on his heart to see if his heart will be strong enough to go through the surgery without being damaged. We are waiting for these test results.

If his heart is not strong enough, then the doctors will work on his arteries in his heart to open them up as much as they can, but they will amputate his left foot.

What I am asking is for your prayers for a miracle to happen. I have been praying, as well as my friends and our church, that the bypass surgery can be performed.

My mom, family and I have been as strong as we can waiting for the answers from the tests.

I really appreciate your help and prayers.

Oh, my mom has been recovering well. I haven't mentioned anything about her in awhile. She is pretty much her old self again.
I thank you all again for your prayers and concern for my mom.

Thank you guys.

This is such a big blow.
Everything seems so different now.
And I am so emotional it isn't even funny.

I love all of you here on OG. You all are the best and I mean that with all of my heart.

Thank you, Yuri and all.

Monday the 9th we are going to have the funeral arrangements made.

This is so hard to deal with. Just missing him so badly is what is hard.

I'm not looking forward to tomorrow.
My dad's funeral is going to be held tomorrow at 11am.
I don't think it's going to be quite as hard on us kids as it will be on our mom.

After tomorrow I hope things will get easier. I know, be patient. But it's difficult to be patient at a time like this.

OMG i am so sorry to hear about your dad :' ( I know what its like to lose a loved one. My grandfather passed away when i was only 4. But their both in heaven now and they won't have to suffer anymore. I know what i'm about to say you may have already heard but just remember all the good times you had with your dad. I feel for ya man, i feel for ya

[goodude26]

Thanks, Antstep.

I'm sorry you had to loose your grandfather at such a young age. I never really got to know my grandfathers. They were either dead before I was born or died while I was growing up.

What keeps me going is knowing I had a good time with my dad. I have been trying to think of any regrets I have, and the only one I can think of is I didn't always have the best attitude towards my dad.
Then, of course there is the "I should have spent more time with him." But I don't let it bother me much because I know without a doubt my dad wouldn't want me to worry about that.
No matter what I did he was proud of me and proud of whatever I did, no matter how small the accomplishment and I always told him that I was proud of him, just for being my dad.

It hurts loosing someone so close. But he is much better off than I am now. I have said it before and I'll say it again. I am almost jealous that he got to get to heaven already. That is a place that I and my family want to be. Now we wait our turn.

I trust in the Lord that everything will be ok.

Thanks, 'baby.
I sent an invite through my messenger, it is yahoo messenger, not sure if you have the same or not.

I loved my dad and told him that every day. I am glad I was blessed with such great parents. I'm sorry you weren't so fortunate. But it was good you had a dad for awhile. My best friend had a very, very abusive father and his mom divorced him when my friend was really young which was good, but his father did his damage to his wife and child.

IT is really something that people can be so hurtful and for no reason, it is just because they don't know how to control their anger, they don't know self control, so they take it out on everyone else but themselves.
I feel bad for others who have parents who couldn't care less for their kids. It is really not necessary.

I was looking through these older posts and came across this one again and read things that I said and others said.

Though all this time has passed since my dad's passing, it still hurts so much.

We're coming up to our first Thanksgiving and Christmas without my dad. And to make things worse, Wal-Mart is thinking about staying open on Thanksgiving. If this happens I am NOT going to be happy.
