My father-in-law

The hospice nurse told us lastnight that my father-in-law may not make it through the night. So my H hopped on the first available flight to Tenessee, which was 7:05 this morning, he arrived in Tennessee at 8:00 am. He called to tell me that he landed safely, and he was on his way to his dad's.

I am praying for peace, his dad is in alot of pain, he has bone cancer, and the cancer has spread throughout his body and is now in his brain. My seven year old said it best, she said that God wants to take him home and take care of him, and when he goes with God, he wont be sick anymore. She said it is very sad, but he will be better with God.

I hope your father-in-law's suffering will end and that he is surrounded by people who cherish him when God calls him home.

My mother died of bone cancer.........I know the doublemindedness of wanting "to keep them here" and letting them go and ending the pain. My prayers for you all.
