A Thousand Words Thursday

.



Today's thousand word Thursday post needs a few words with it. There's a special reason for this picture. Yesterday afternoon, my dad fell and broke his hip! He is in the hospital and will have surgery tomorrow afternoon. This picture was from last Halloween and it makes me smile to see him standing tall and looking happy - because he looks so small and helpless in the hospital bed.

So if you are reading this, could you please say a prayer for him? A prayer for the surgery and a prayer for his recovery. A hip is a tough thing to recover from but for him - he has diabetes and Parkinson's disease - it's going to be a long, hard road. We would appreciate any prayers!! Thank you!!

(And for those of you that might be confused after my Father's Day post - this is my stepfather but he has always loved me like I was his own! It doesn't always take blood to make you family - LOVE makes you family!!)

Many prayers to your dad, and hope the road to recovery is short!!

The strikeout text...in the HTML mode where you write your post, place a < s > at the beginning of what you're striking out, and a < /s > at the end. Without the spacing...that was just so I could show you.

If you have any more q's email me

My prayers have been with him since the moment I heard that he fell. Will be sending even more his way this afternoon for his surgery. {{{hugs}}}
