prayer request
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.

As some people on the board know, my wife is a stomach cancer patient and we decided a while back that she should split her remaining time between NH with me and OH, where her entire family lives. Well she has run into problems with some of the many meds she takes and is not doing well at all. She's at her parents home right now, but is facing being put into an inpatient care facility very soon. I would be very greateful to the members here if you would remember my family in your prayers for both Nora's health and recovery, as well as the stress, sadness and fear that covers the whole situation and all of us involved.
Thank you.

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.0 -

Prayers for strength and comfort for Wanda would be greatly appreciated as he was the center of her world as she was for him.
and for those who understand pegs down.
Thanks to all of you.

I don't care what your religious persuasion is, or even if you pray, all I ask is if you do pray please say a prayer for my hubbie. If you don't pray, just think positive thoughts for him.
Since his two surgeries last year he has had a lingering, raspy voice. At first we thought it was from having major surgery in February and then having another the next month (March for those of you who are calendar challenged). We thought at first that having a tube down his throat had irritated it and it would just take time to recover.
As time passed he didn't improve, but had sinus issues, bronchitis, etc. so still no large alarm bells sounding. Went to have the bronchitis taken care of a few weeks ago and the GP sent him to an ENT.
He saw the ENT yesterday. He has a growth on his vocal cords. He is scheduled for out patient surgery on the 16th to have it removed. They will biopsy the growth and go from there.
Some of you may recall he had prostate surgery last February. His PSA has not dropped to 0 yet and now we have this growth. We need prayers and well wishes, lots of them.
Thanks folks.0 -
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.0 -
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.0 -
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. 0 -
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.

A good friend's 18month old nephew was shot through the heart with a pnuematic finish nailer. The nail was removed through surgery, and he is recovering in ICU listed as stable but critical condition.
I will explain the story later, but for now please pray for him, or at least keep a good thought for those who don't pray.0 -
If you can spare a moment, please pray for my family. My grandmother passed away last night. It was not wholly unexpected. She would have been 92 next month and she had been admitted to hospice care a couple weeks ago.
She was, if not the biggest influence on my life, one of the biggest influences in all things.
She held all the very desirable qualities one looks for in a person:
Loving
Kind
Devout Christian
Hard working
Smart as a whip even with minimal education
Writer of long letters
Tender
Stern
A wonderful story teller
Beautiful
Giving
Self deprecating
A great cook
A great baker
Loyal
An accomplished seamstress
A farmer
A fisher
A gardener
Dutiful wife
Doting mother of 4
and if you think there is some other quality that should be on a list of greatness, she is that too, most assuredly.0 -
i went to check on mom as i always do every morning and found her in bed crying. she has had the shingles for almost a year now. the pain had eased for a while, but now has returned in full force

I ask all of you who believe tonight to say a prayer for our soldiers and their family. As the battle of Fallujah continues, perhaps winds down, can we unite and put politics and personal grudges aside for just a few minutes to offer a prayer for those who fight and those that wait.

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. 0 -
Hey guys keep my Secretary, Barbara, in your thoughts and prayers please. Her husband, Gary, died yesterday at 49 years old. Thanks! 0 -
I don't usually ask for prayers from this group, but I am now. My youngest daughter is adopted and we just got word that her birth mother passed away a couple of days ago. This alone is bad enough, but she just lost her birth father about six weeks ago. She was blessed by having four parents, by being adopted, but now she has lost three of them and is having a hard time. Your prayers for her would be appreciated.
Thanks.0 -
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.

One of the officers at the company I work for was stabbed/cut badly tonight. Please say a prayer for him and his family!
Thanks in advance.0 -
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 Sandy0 -
