prayer request

gagirl
Being around on this planet for some 58 years or so I have met many people. Of all these people I can only claim to have 3 friends over the years who I could count on through thick and thin. The guy to bail you out of jail or give you his last beer or cigarette without even flinching. The friend who would loan you $100 and not ask why. The friend who tells your wife yah he was at my house last night. A friend that every time he'd come over would bring beer and when you went to his house he handed you one before even saying hi. If your car broke down and you called him he'd ask where can I pick you up. These friends are few and far between. One I buried 15 years ago, the second I will bury tomorrow. If any of you have ever had a friend like this please say a prayer for them and for mine. Bob, you'll be sorrowfully missed by me but even more so by your family.


I want to thank all of you that offered their thoughts and prayers.
Bob hired me at the auto parts store that he managed back in June of 1969. I was fresh out of high school and had been sworn into the Army. Because I wouldn't be 18 for a few more months and the fact that my AIT didn't have an opening until early the following year I had some time to kill. Bob was buried this morning witch included a beautiful service and a an amazing eulogy from his 3 children.
The one thing though that I will probably never know or understand was how did he ever get the Budweiser truck to deliver to his house.


Thanks again to all.

    Please pray for my son Josh. He is in danger of harming himself and I've done all I can do, but he is going over the edge.

    I know he has problems, and I know he has brought most of them on himself, but he is my son, and I love him.

    Thank you in advance,

    Danny and Sandy

    Times have been tough, and it looks like we might have to sell our family business. The bank on our business loan is going under, and they will be recalling the loan. We have to sell before they do, or we could lose even more. I'm just beside myself with fear for my family right now.

    My wife's grandmother passed away yesterday. Dear sweet lady, full of spirit. Ended her battle with cancer after 6 long years. Lived to the ripe old age of 98.

    My wife's mother had been her care giver the last six years. It's been really hard on her to do that, and now to not have that in her life is going to be a big switch.

    Gotta call today that my dad had a massive heart attack. He's in intensive care and doing ok but too early to tell how much damage was done to his heart. Maybe this will be his wake-up call to drop the 3 pack-a-day habit.

    I don't do this often, so when I ask for prayers, it truly is a dire situation.

    One of Mrs. Zulu's coworker's young teenage daughter is currently fighting a very rare auto-immune disease, and is on a medication that will basically destroy what's left of her immune system for the better part of a year.

    I ask for prayers that this young woman recovers from her ailment.

    My Dad called me yesterday and told me he is diagnosed with Leukemia of some sort. Not sure yet if it is virulent, or a more slow variety and we are awaiting more testing.

    Dad is the best man I ever met and the best Dad anyone could hope to have. Wish I lived closer so I could be with him.[V]

    Any prayers would be appreciated. We believe in the power.

    This is not meant to be funny or take away from those that are ill or dying but my 26 year old daughter moved back home today. I'll need some prayers said on my behalf.

    Yesterday, (01-10-2011), at about 1800 hours my 17 year old daughter and a friend had a bad wreck just outside of Commerce, Texas. They were going to eat and hit a slick bridge. There was a Txdot truck and a sanding truck stopped on the bridge with the right lane open. She hit the bridge and started sliding. Like most inexperienced drivers she hit the brakes because she was headed toward the bridge rail. The car spun around and hit the back of the Txdot truck right in the passenger door. The girls were lucky. My daughter ended up with a couple stitches in her forehead and the other girl ended up with a chip on each side of her hip. Not a serious injury requiring surgery but said to be a very painful injury with a long painful recovery and rehab. My last words to her before she left were, "Drive slow and watch the bridges especially after it gets dark".

    Both girls will spend the night in hospital tonight. My daughter was transferred to Parkland in Dallas with a subdural hematoma. They wanted a Neurosurgeon to look at her just as a precaution.

    We had such high hopes for 2011 especially after loosing my son in March of 2010 and now already ten days into 2011 and this. I don't know how much more we can endure. Please pray for us and for Ally, (my daughter), and Jeanette, (Ally's friend).

    The car is totalled and with only liability insurance we are perty much screwed. Oh well. Life goes on.

    Thanks for any and all prayers.

    Our family is not having a good run right now and could use a few prayers. #2 just left the doctor's office where she was diagnosed with the H1N1. She is in Fayetteville going to school so she is over 200 miles away from home. She suffers from asthma so I am very worried. Told her to keep a very close eye on it. The doc told her to use her inhaler at least once every six hours whether she needs it or not.

    My husband's uncle passed away Saturday and services will be this Saturday coming up. Hubbie will be driving over ten hours one way to attend his funeral after working all day Friday. He has another uncle who has terminal cancer with no firm projection as to how much time is left as the uncle will not share this information with the family. We did get a chance to visit him last month in St. Louis.

    My mom-in-law was able to be with her brother when he passed, but I fear for her health because she was the oldest. Her other brother and her mother passed away within the last year. She suffered a massive coronary a couple years ago and this stress will add up.

    My uncle has heart health issues (he is 58) and has had over five heart surgeries. He is like a big brother to me and I fear his health is on a steady decline.

    Please keep us all in your prayers.

    For those of you who pray, please send up one for my wife and her two brothers. Their mother passed away this morning at 3:30 AM, and they are having a rough time with it. She died with cancer, and it got pretty ugly there at the end. They all gathered at the nursing home yesterday to say goodbye. She was unconscious and struggling for every breath. It would have been better if they had not seen what she was going through. I spent most of the time sitting in the room with her while they drifted in and out. They couldn't stay more than a few minutes at a time. I wish they hadn't watched it, but I guess they thought they had to.

    I guess I'm pretty hardened up to death having watched so many in my family pass away. I would suggest if you ever have to deal with these things, and the person is in a coma, stay home and remember them they way they were. The process of watching a human body shut down and die is hard to watch and if you don't have to, then don't.

    I don't do this often but please offer up one for my best friend and his family. His mother was watching her grandkids this afternoon . She got up to go to the restroom when she fell over and died from a stroke. Please say one for the kids who watched their grandma die in front of them. I know that has to tear them up inside.

    all who will I ask that you pray for the family and freinds of a co-worker/freind of about 4 years he was 25 yrs old and was killed in a motorcycle accident yesterday going home from work, we are all saddened but not shocked as he was a daredevil of sorts but had a heart of gold, if anyone missed work he would head up alot of drives of some sort to help with money. he had crashed his first Hyabusa a year or so and when he recovered from that people would say " man I hope that taught you a lesson " his reply alot of the time was " but the speed is such a rush, besides something's gonna kill us all or you gotta go some way some time " His favorite tag line on text messages was "fly low" According to the stories I have heard the authorities estimated he was traveling 143 mph slid some 329 feet before impacting a car, he leaves behind a fiance and a 1 month old baby, he will be missed.

    All, I would like to request your prayer for my wife and myself. I won't go into details on the board but we are going through some rough times with our relationship right now and on top of that, we're expecting a baby next April.

    I've never asked for a prayer request, but I could use a few prayers sent this way.

    My wife found 3 lumps in her breast last week.
    I've been working too many hours out of town to post lately.

    Thanks everyone.

    OK so I guess this is my first time doing this. An employee of mine was having some chest pain the week before last. He got off the riding mower and laid down. He went through the weekend and got scared by monday (never wanted to go to the doctors for years). He finally went and got an EKG, which was normal (last wed morning) Come Wed eve, the paramedics were doing CPR. Long story short, he didn't make it. At 56yrs old, I find this hard to fathom.

    His wife is one of my office staff that does an outstanding job. They are both like family to me. His wife, Linda, is devastated. After almost 29yrs of marriage, they still kissed goodbye every day and even held hands in public. I have been talking to her to try and get her head on straight. I have also told her daughter to make sure she takes the medication the doctor gave her, since I KNOW how much this is crushing her. She has said that if she didn't have a daughter, there would be no reason for her to be here any longer. During our talk, I told her how envious I am of the marriage she had. These two were truley best friends, even after almost 29yrs.

    She called this morning and asked if I could be a pallbearer, and even though I think I have strained a chest muscle this weekend, I did not have the heart to tell her. I will carry his casket and not show a sign of pain if I can help it.

    Please throw a prayer up for a woman whom I think of as family. She is salt of the earth and devastated at this point. She has a long road without her best friend, and I am worried about her and her daughter.

    My family has of late been plagued by physical misfortunes. My father was released from the hospital Sunday recovering from pneumonia, my grandmother lost feeling in her left foot and while settling into a chair at the doctor's office fell and broke it. My sister is still in the hospital after having surgery to remove scar tissue from her intestines. She was diagnosed with endometriosis in her late 20's and had a full hysterectomy. The endometriosis had spread to her lower intestines and they had to remove some of this while performing the surgery. She has been plagued with scar tissue growth ever since. She is now at the point where no solid food will pass through her and is being tube fed. In her last surgery they removed approximately 50% of the blockage, but had to stop as they were losing her vital signs.

    They want to send her to St. Louis once she has regained some strength to see if the surgeons there will attempt more surgery. At this point she is on morphine drip with a pump that she controls to ease the pain. They do not promise a cure, maybe some partial relief. She is only 38. If you would please send up a prayer for Tiffany I would be ever so grateful.

    ***There's a difference between living and living well!***
