Dad not well

**Daisy and Delilah** · 12-07-2006, 08:27 PM

Even though I have already heard this in PM yesterday, Barry, I'm still very upset about it. I'm in tears as I type. I feel as if we are all one big happy family here. News such as this is hard to take for us. We can only begin to imagine what you and your family are going through.

As I've already told you, please don't hesitate to let me know if I can do anything for you at any time. I will hope and pray every day that your Dad can be cured and live a long life. I know how much you all love each other. My heart goes out to you and the family.

I will keep Auntie Irene in my thoughts and prayers as well. You are all such wonderful people and I'm heartbroken to see you all go through this.

Your dad and Aunt will be in my prayers. He will surely need the support of all his family, and we'll be praying for him here on PT. I hope this doesn't sound weird - but when my mother had cancer, I realized that one of the hidden "blessings" of a terminal illness is that you know what time you have together is so very precious, and you can say everything that needs to be said. Sometimes we act like we have forever, and don't get around to saying how much we love and appreciate each other.

Barry, I know you and your family are so worried right now, but you need to take each day as it comes and love your dad and care for him in a positive way. Boy is that a hard thing with such an illness.

I know that Karen will be able to shed some light on what to expect with the Lou Gehrig's disease since her mother had the same thing.

Hang in there, my friend. We are all thinking of you and praying for your father.
