Life on the Road

We have been on the road for about four months now. When we were first getting ready to sell the house and buy an RV, I got news that my father had throat cancer and would need to have treatment. Everyone said there was a high success rate in treating this type of cancer and other than the side effects, my father should recover fine. So, everyone has been very optomistic during this whole thing and he finished his treatments and was on his way to recovery.

I visited with him a couple weeks ago. He was looking about the same and mentioned that the doctors thought he was a couple weeks behind on recovery. Yesterday I got a call from my brother. He said he had some bad news. My dad has now been diagnosed with terminal lung cancer. The doctors don’t give him twelve months at this point.

What do I do now? Our business has no providers in the area he lives. We have other obligations like Nick visiting his father in California. We are working our way through these things, but it’s that situation where I know I have a limited amount of time to say and do the things I need to. Now, after a lifetime, I’m not really ready to let my dad go. I love him and I pray for him. It’s all in God’s hands.

Please, help us pray for my dad. His name is Tom and he is a Christian, a deacon at his church. His wife is Wanda. I know she could use your prayers also. And there is also me, Tiffany, and the kids, Nick and Jewel, who need your prayers.

Praise God in all things.
