My FRiends, I would be very grateful for your prayers in behalf of my Dad whose health has taken a turn for the worse right after Thanksgiving, and even more so in the past few days. Dad is 81, a veteran of World War II in the Pacific Theatre, he served as a munitions expert, Browning Automatic rifleman, and finally as a medical corpsman before being wounded and sent home. He continued to serve our Nation in the Department of the Army his entire working career. He has been the finest Dad I could ask for and my life has been blessed by being his son. I have asked God what I believe my Dad would want me to ask, which is that God's Will be done. My own human desires and needs want to see my Dad restored completely to health and bounce out of his hospital bed, which would honestly require a miracle at this point. Dad is quite frankly suffering from old age, injured hip (did not require surgery), kidney infection, loss of appetite, one moment completely lucid, next moment, not quite so good. My Mom is holding up well all things considered, she and my Dad have been inseperable and happily married 53 years last month, I wish for them many more on this Earth, if that is part of God's Plan. I thank you and as my Dad would say, 'May the Lord be with you'.
Best Regards,
MKJ

Good Morning Everyone!
Coming up on 8:30 EDT, and Dad had a fairly restful night, and my Uncle (my Dad's brother) and my Aunt have arrived from out of state to spend some time with Dad, and to help out as possible, my Dad and Uncle are extremely close (as brothers should be) and I'm hopeful that a surprise visit will lift my Dad's spirits. I may be on and offline today so if I don't answer posts and emails right away, please know that I'll be getting back to messages and this thread as I can and I appreciate you all so much, I hope you know that.
My Mom is not what we would call computer savvy, she is somewhat familiar but is 'non-Internet' connected, however I told her this morning that there were many, many wonderful people (meaning you my FRiends!) who were praying for Dad, for her, and for our family and she was very moved and asked me to thank you all and to say that she loves and appreciates each and every one of you, as do I.
As time permits, and as events unfold, I might share a few stories about my Dad and Mom with you all, if there is interest - I could tell you quite a few tales, all of them true.
I thank you all again, and will keep you posted about how everything is going.
God Bless!
Best,
MKJ (Mark)
