Do any of you have prayer requests??

I would like to ask for prayers and positive thoughts for my dad. He is having back surgery this morning. It's supposed to be a 4 hour operation. I'm very nervous and anxious about it. Hoping all goes well and that it will be a success. Thanks!

Lots of prayers for your dad, Robin! and for all Pettalkers.

Prayers for Bea, for your teacher, Bri, and for your dad, Robilee.

Thank you for the prayers for my mom. She has to wait 8 - 9 months to see a specialist that will give a definite diagnosis, but today she should be getting meds to help. She will feel much better if she starts feeling like herself again.

All prayers to all who need them.

Two things. I am having a very hard time with sleep, which is a side effect of one of the medications I'm taking. The specific effect is very vivid, detailed dreams. I wake up more tired than when I went to bed and it's affecting my work performance.

The other is a little different. My oldest niece (29) and my nephew (26) are both getting married this year. My grandmother passed away in 2001 but I know she would be delighted about this and she would love both of her grandchildren-in-law. She loved a good party and I wish she could be with us. The other person I am missing very much is my best friend, who died about 2 1/2 years ago. It is very hard for me to imagine these two weddings without her there. She was a friend of my entire family and we all miss her a lot. But I miss her the most because we're the same age. My nephew's wedding is first, in June.

Thank you very much,
elyse

Elyse, you'll be in our prayers. Perhaps there's some little memento you could bring to both events so that in a way they are part of the celebrations?
