im really afraid for him, thanks for the prayers. i dont want god to show me how strong i am and how much i can endure right now-my plate is full.
thanks jo

God will give you the strength you need, for you and your Dad.<p>Nikko, maybe go over to the Prayer Request board too. They do prayer sessions I think. They can add your Dad, Hon.

Nikko,
At least he has a loving, caring and dedicated daughter in you even if your plate is full. You show you care and are praying for him, thats all a parent can ask I'm sure.<p>keep us updated. ok?

Prayers for your dad, for you, for your whole family...from my family.

This is so hard. Your dad sounds like a caring man. You LOVE him so much! I know this is hard for you. I just lost my dad in January. He was a very thoughtful man, a sincere man, and was quite know around our town. <p>With your dad trying to commit suicide, is a sign he sees himself as a man unable to do the things he used to do. My dad asked me to give him a drug to end his life. He was not happy, he was one that got up in the morning and did things all day long, after he retired. He would fix this, make this better, find something to make for someone else. A neighbor needed something for her house, my dad offered to make it and the neighbor was so happy. There is a time in life when a man considers himself useless. This is what happened to my dad. He was a great gardnerer, vegetables. He was written up in the local newspaper for his admirable garden. It was beautiful and he took great pride in producing these 'Polish tomatoes'. My dad saved the seeds everyyear, and gave them to this vegetable & flower nursery, and they would take the seeds and start the plants. Of course dad got orders from home and so he had a purporse in life.<p>When a man loses his purpose in life, this is very hard for them to see why should they live. My prayers are with you, here is a big hug
((((((((((HUGGGGG!!!!!!))))))))).

Alberta - sorry for your loss too hon, this is so hard, so difficult to try to function. Please take and know that your mom is so comfortable now. No pain, just enjoying herself, and looking after you from above. Talk to her, I do to my dad most everyday. Tell her how you love her, and will miss her, until you meet her in heaven. I am so SORRY ((((((((((((HUGGGGGS)))))))))))). I feel your pain!
