LibraryLover Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 (edited) Dad hasn't done a good job caring for himself, and he only quit smoking (17 mos ago) after nearly 55 yrs of smoking. He's in the hospital and he's a wee bit scared. He's ok, but not great. Edited October 19, 2013 by LibraryLover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LauraGB Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 (edited) :grouphug: Good thought and prayers going out for George. My father (who is still alive and doing fairly well) was in a similar situation about 11 years ago (I remember because we were not exactly on speaking terms when this happened for a second time, and I was pregnant ). He had congestive heart failure, among other things, after smoking for nearly 45 years. It's tough - good things can come out of tough, scary situations. :grouphug: Edited April 10, 2010 by LauraGB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnitWit Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 My good thoughts are worth nothing, but I hope it will not be offensive to you if I pray for your father, and for you. I pray that he will be comforted and have peace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zookeeperof3 Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 I also believe in prayer. I will pray for you and your father, that you shall both have peace and comfort during this terrible time. Hugs from one cyber friend to another. Hang in there, there's a lot of prayers and a lot of positive thoughts flowing for you & your dad. All it can do is help. Keep us updated.

Tree House Academy Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 I will say a prayer for your dad. I am Christian, so the good thoughts thing is kinda lost on me. Since you are asking for something here, the best I can offer is prayer. I do hope that is okay. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LibraryLover Posted April 10, 2010 Author Share Posted April 10, 2010 (edited) Gulp. :) Thanks for all your prayers and good thoughts. He's a quite a good guy. I talked to him a few minutes ago, & he is feeling ok; some pain from tubes, but was sounding like he was going to fall into a good night's sleep. I appreciate your kindness & generosity. My dad is a believer and prays. I told him his heathen daugher knows religious folks, and he seemed glad of it. :) I really do thank you. He feels better knowing people are praying. I meditate and do yoga. I know he doesn't see Buddha (alhought I am not a buddist) in the same light. yet, the way i see it, we are all linked. I am not praying for his life, but for him to feel peace. When I spoke with him, he really did sound calm and grounded. I appreciate that so much. Thank you all. Thank you so much. Our collective thoughts/prayer can bring peace. Edited October 19, 2013 by LibraryLover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is such a nice, solid name & I think it is becoming semi-popular again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teachin'Mine Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 Praying for your dad and for you and your family too. May the Blessed Mother wrap all of you in her mantle. I could think of nothing more positive than the love of our heavenly Mother and her Son. :) :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colleen in NS Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 I am not praying for his life, but for him to feel peace. :grouphug: My father, George, went through lung cancer 8 years ago, after many years of smoking. He beat it, against many odds. I prayed for his life then, but I also knew that all lives end sometime. I was just thankful that it wasn't his time yet, because we've had a few more years in which to mend a broken relationship. Good things did come of a bad situation. He has emphysema, and I just found out he was at Mass General (he lives near Logan airport) for a few days, with bad pneumonia last weekend. It's not easy watching him go up and down with his health, yet I TOTALLY get what you said about praying for him to feel peace. Peace to you and your Dad.
