A few years ago, I posted that I was going home. Home to be with my mother as she had surgery for cancer.
Now it is time that I go home again.
Only this time it is my father that will be undergoing surgery. He found out during a heart catheterization last Friday that he has 90% blockage and needs open heart surgery as soon as possible. This surgery is scheduled for next Wednesday. Thankfully, God has graciously spared him from having a massive heart attack due to this blockage!
God only knows how many people need this man.
So this blog will be put on hold for a bit as I head back east to be with my parents during this time. This is where the miles seem even farther apart and the distance longer.
I know there are so many who are already sick among us and needing prayer, but if you care to add one more to your prayer list – we would greatly appreciate it!
I love my father and he is one of those men in my life who hold my highest esteem, respect, and trust.
Granted, he will probably be a little ornery after surgery, but between Mom and us kids – we should be able to make him behave. 🙂
Until then,
Kendra

We will add his name to our prayer list along with Rod Miller and our grandson Cade Bowman. Cade is currently at Seattle Children’s hospital with a blood/heart infection. God bless you all during this family time. I have very special memories of your dear parents as I was growing up in CA. Your dad was one of my favorite ministers.
Kendra says
I am so sorry to hear of your grandson! Sickness can be such a scary time. Praying God gives you peace and comfort!

Kendra, I am so sorry to hear of your Dad’s health issues. I have walked this path with my own dear Dad, and my heart truly goes out to you at this time. I trust God will bless you with safe travels to and from, and that He will keep you and your family protected while you are absent from each other. May He heal your Dad and restore him to health. I trust your Mom is doing okay, also. Take care of yourself, too. 🙂 Praying for you!
Kendra says
