The sadness just doesn't seem to want to end. It's been a month and a half since my dad died and I just can't seem to feel happy. It's selfish but I miss him so much. He will never feel pain or sickness or constantly be cold again. He is with Mom in the presence of God and is completely happy now,... Sign in to see full entry.

For all my fellow bloggers who have been keeping up with my dad's progress throughout all of his cancer and treatments, I appreciate all of your moral support and prayers.

He holds you up or He carries you. Feeling His presence through all the pain, sickness and suffering my Dad has had to endure because of his cancer, Dad has held up marvelously.

Since just before Thanksgiving, things have been preventing me from blogging here. My dad is undergoing his radiation/chemo treatments and I have been making the 45 minute drive to his house twice a week to cook, clean, and do laundry for him. He can now only eat very soft foods. He has cancer of... Sign in to see full entry.

“One more time I beseech all of you to pray, to help by your prayers the unbelievers, those who do not have the grace to experience God in their hearts with a living faith. I do not want to threaten again! My wish is just to warn you all as a mother. I beg you for the people who do not know the... Sign in to see full entry.

Does it seem to you that there are more and more natural calamities? The tsunami, the hurricanes, mudslides, earthquakes, tornadoes, huge forest fires seem to be coming at us in wave after wave. These have all been predicted and people have not listened. Over and over, the Mother of God has appeared... Sign in to see full entry.
