Thank You

As Dad prepares to come home today, I think it is appropriate to take a moment to say Thank You to all of you who have done so much to support Dad and the family through his surgery and recovery. What we had hoped would be four to six days has turned into two months. It has been a long and hard two months. Your support, kindness, and generosity has made this ordeal easier to cope with. I know Dad needs and appreciates all the encouragement he has received. Many of you have eased Missy's worries by providing food, kind words and selfless actions. She wanted me to make sure I relayed how thankful she is for each of you.

As Dad begins the next chapter in his life, I ask that we would continue to pray for Dad's recovery. When I talked to Dad yesterday, he was excited to go home, but at the same time he kept expressing he was worried about the unknown. We can pray that his mind and heart would be at ease as he comes home. We can also all pray for Missy as she takes on the roles that the nurses had in the hospital. They both need our continued love and support.

Remember, we are NOT doing a surprise welcome home party for Dad. We think it is best for him come home quietly without much pomp or circumstance. You are welcomed to stop by for an encouraging word, call or send cards.

Thank You and God Bless.
