A couple weekends ago my dad told me that he had something growing on the outside of his large intestine. He told us that the doctor said it might be cancer but they couldn't be sure until they surgically removed it and did some more tests on it. I didn't know what to think. I had to accept that the wost could be happening, just like the worst happened to my older brother Corey which I have mentioned in some of my previous posts. I had to accept that my dad might die no mater how slim the chance. When Corey died I wished so much that I could have seen it coming, so it wouldn't have hit me so hard. I didn't want to be unprepared for another death. The more I thought about a life without my dad the more depressed I became, and the more I thought about Corey. Even the most random things brought memories of Corey flooding back, all the memories I had pushed down and thought I had forgotten. God reminded the family of Corey's death and opened all of our eyes to the chance of loosing my dad. My family became closer to each other and also closer to God. The surgery was completed yesterday and everything went well. It turned out to be pancreas tissue growing where it shouldn't be. God really knows what He's doing.
Awesome,
ReplyDeleteI am certain that God hears you talk to Him and I feel that your conversations leading to your dad's surgery were taken into consideration by our Lord. Did your dad teach you to "talk with God", some folks call it prayer? PowPow
