I cannot think of any discussions for the past few days. I am so preoccupied with my family obligations, job and sick father. I even feel I'm still floating now from lack of sleep because I cared for my father who was in the hospital a week ago. He has pulmonary emphysema. He has lost so much weight and hasn't regained his appetite yet which causes him to continue to lose weight. He's bed ridden for now. My mother is old also and cannot give him enough attention and care. Every weekend I have to go to their place to care for him. It's so stressful on my part but I have no choice, I'm the only child living near him. I'm just requesting a simple thing from you - PRAYER. Prayer for my father to give him enough strength to combat his illness, strength and hope to go on living and maybe a miracle that his disease will be cured. I have read that his disease is irreversible. I don't know. Though he is already 77 years old, we still hope he will have more years to live. If if't really his time already, please help pray that it will be painless and fast. Thank you all very much for your prayers.

Thanks very much. I need strenght and encouragement too. Knowing that there are people out there who don't even know you personally, but wish and pray for the best is enough reason to go on living. Best regards and I wish you all the best too.
