My Step-Father
My Step-Father has been sick for a few years.
About a month ago, we were told that he would have about 6 months left. An obvious guess, as no one really knows.
A week ago, we were told that it will most likely be a matter of 4-6 week
This morning we were told that he may not last until tomorrow.
As the end is obviously near, and I cannot tell you what all he has wrong, so other than a miracle, his end is already a foregone conclusion.
So I am not asking for a prayer for his recovery, while I would like that to happen, I am asking for a prayer that he goes quickly and as a painless as possible. Let his suffering end.
Thank you in advance. While I will not be reading your replies as I will obviously be away for a while, they are appreciated.
