Though the events of today have been hard in many ways we can take hope in the fact that my dad made it safely through surgery. I went in with my mom to see my dad and he recognized and greeted us both. My dad was in good humor and cracked several jokes while I was there. He was ravenously hungry and asking for food and water. I don't know how he did it, but later he even convinced a nurse to let him have a Tim Horton's coffee and a donut!
Together with my family, we want to express our deep gratitude for the continued flow of emails, phone calls, and prayers on our behalf. It is wonderful that we can be part of such a supportive Christian community.
Sincerely,
I am so glad to hear that he is in good spirits. He must be very convincing to get a coffee and donut so soon! (:
ReplyDeletePlease know that our family is praying for yours. The road is so hard and sometimes hurts so much, but it is a blessing that we have a good God who will lead us down the road He has chosen for us.
Thank you so much for keeping up updated.
In Christ,
Belinda Pennings
