And what a great lesson he taught you about prayer. Hugs. Thanks for sharing this with us.

Those prayers for the everyday things our lives and in the lives of people we love move mountains! Great post, Patty!

Thanks for the challenge and the reminder that I AM THE ONE who needs to fill the gap - for my girls, their friends, the ones who come behind me.

And you're right, you can never be prepared to lose someone, especially to cancer. I went through it twice in nine weeks in 1995. As we get older, it is tough to realize sometimes that we are the ones who need to step up and stand in the gap. I know you'll do just fine. Your dad would be proud, I'm sure.

I hope I can be as faithful.
