|
|
Hey Richness-
Some thoughts and prayers are needed for my family. About 2 weeks ago my step-father was diagnosed with Stage 4 stomach cancer. His health has been rapidly declining and the Doctors have given him 3 months to live. My husband, son and I were already scheduled to go back home on June 6th for 2 weeks, but now Nathan and I are planning to stay behind at least thru the summer to enjoy the last few days with my step-father. I am hoping that he will have some good days while we are there and can enjoy seeing my son and nephew play together and just create a few last memories togther. Hopefully being there will be a help and not a burden to my mom. I can do little things for her like laundry and grocery shopping so she can focus on taking care of my step-father. I am really scared to go home and know that the hardest part of all of this for me will be leaving my mom after my step-father passes. Luckily my husband is understanding and I'll just take it one day at a time as to see when it will be the best time for me to leave. (I hate living so far away from home!!!)
So if all of my Richness could send some prayers our way I would greatly appreciate it! 
UPDATE:
Thank you for the thoughts and prayers. I made it home Thursday evening and was able to spend some time with my step-father. The day before we had a really good heart to heart chat. He passed away Sunday evening. My mom was by his side the entire time. The next few months will be rough for her, so I hope that being here by her side will help her heal. Wanted to share the following:

aaawww Kim, my heart aches for you honey...I know what you're going thru...same thing happened to me with my father...I ended up staying away from home for a very long time. You're very fortunate to be able to have Nathan with you, he will bring smiles and happiness to a very sad situation...and your step father cherish the time with him...Be assured you will most certainly be being lifted up in prayer, as will your mom and step father, Nathan and your husband. Wish there was more we could do...don't hesitate to ask if you think of something. Love ya bunches
God is our merciful Father and the source of all comfort.
~ 2 Corinthians 1:3, NLT

I'm sooo sorry Kim. I know that no matter what happens, God will give you and your family the comfort that you need. And if your step-father goes home to be with the Lord, I pray that he leaves you with a thought or a gesture that will remain with you always and will put a smile on your face.
I remember right before my grandmother went into a comma just before passing, her last words to me were "Hi baby!" in her hospital bed in ICU. I knew she loved me and her last words to me will always resonate within. She left me with so much. She was in my dreams...it was as if she never left me.

Kim, You'll definitely be in my prayers. I can't even begin to imagine what you must be feeling, but we're all here for you if you need anything. I'll be thinking of you and your family. Please keep us updated when you get the chance.

awww kim, that has to be so devistating to loose someone so fast without having much time to adjust to such news. i am so sorry your family had to go through this.
a lady that works here with me, they had a friend a month ago who was 40 get diagnosed with stomach cancer, they removed most of the stomach, and she passed, 1 month after diagnosis. What a very awful and terrible cancer to have.
my thoughts are with you and please let me know if you ever need anyone to talk to.
Hugs,
char
