"Angel" Update
Just a quick heart wrenching update for all my friends..."Angels" out there who have been sending your loving thoughts and prayers for Dad.
I wish I had better news my friends but Our wonderful father has taken a turn for the worse over these past few days and its not looking good. Rick's sister and her husband flew in from Florida on Friday night and another sister flew in from Illinois on Saturday morning. It seems as though even with his family surrounding him at all times in attempts to strenghten and hopefully provide him with love and support...Daddy is just too weak at this point to fight as hard as he needs to survive.
Between all of us that are gathered together as a family, there is always someone or 2 or 5 congregated at his bedside providing a constant vigil over him but he barely realizes we are there. He has scattered (very few and far between) instances of lucidity which usually only last a few mere seconds.
I went up to the hospital yesterday for a short time and my heart sank to my feet when I held the hand and gazed into the weakened, ashen face of the once-strong self assured man I have known as my "other" father for the last 20+ years. I am trying to keep busy and keep strong for my family, esp. my wonderful yet heartbroken husband who is doing his best to also be strong for his family, esp. his mother.
This house (my house) has been the host for family and friends all weekend and will continue to be such for as long as necessary...so although I would love to keep all of you updated and to be honest...I could probably benefit myself from simply having somewhere to vent my feelings and frustrations...Please forgive me if I'm not around much in the near future...If there is any news that is worth reporting I will be sure to post a quick note and keep you all informed.
My heartfelt thanks to all of you for your prayers...by all means, PLEASE keep them coming...if you would like to post to me...I would LOVE to hear from you...your love & friendship mean alot to me. It has touched my heart more than any of you could ever know to log on and see messages waiting for me with all your support and well wishes even though none of us have ever met..it warms my soul to know that even those we have never come in contact with personally or up until several weeks ago were complete strangers could come to mean so much and have so much love and friendship in their hearts to share...and actually DO SO. They reach out and touch others lives and can make such a difference..(I hope that all came out right).
So...I have to go now....there's more family on the way here as I sit typing...
Thank you , thank you, thank you....to all my ANGELS & FRIENDS.....
God Bless You All and keep you safe....I'll be back here to Blogland as soon as I can....

Oh Lisa my heart just hurts for you so much.... I understand how hard it is and want you to know that we will be here waiting for you dear.... and it goes without saying that he, and you and your family will remain firmly in my prayers. Please take care of yourself as well, and know that we are always here okay?
Love Jude {{{hugs}}}
I'm very sorry to hear this, Lisa. I was hoping he'd pull through and come out of this. Never give up...keep the faith!

My thoughts are with you and yours. You just concentrate on family right now, and we'll keep on sending the prayers!
