Please pray for my dad. Nearly 85, cancer for 14 years (bowel, prostate, bladedr, urethra). Diagnosis - no further treatment. Rapid deterioration.

An old fashioned conutryman - farm labourer for almost 60 years - looks like he's going home (like so many of that background do) with the autumn of the year.

I will have to face this with my father sometime soon.

May he slip gently and easily back to the soil he loves.

I am moving this OP from Exclamation Mark to this general prayer thread where all our faithful pray-ers can see it. I have left his original thread but closed it.

Many prayers for your Dad, EM. It is a very hard place to be in.

Original thread was titled Prayer for my Dad.
I will close this thread but leave it here.
