Got some bad news yesterday. He's having problems with his prostate, and had surgery on it recentely. He's not doing good at all, and is even on a colostomy bag, or whatever it's called. I haven't talked to him in over a year, but will be getting back in contact with him soon. To my Facebook friends, PLEASE don't mention this on Facebook. He doesn't want any family members, other then immediate family to know. Actually, he didn't want any family members to know, but my bro knew something was wrong, and begged him to please tell him what was going on. Anyway, I haven't had a relationship with my dad since I was 12 years old, but I still love him very much. I recentely lost my Opa, as well as my uncle Ev, and I really don't want to lose my dad just yet. Your thoughts and prayers would be very much appreciated. Thanks so much all!!! Enjoy the rest of your weekend! :)

Thanks so much for the optimistic words. People, (myself included) usually only see the negatives, and so it is nice to know that there are people who are optimistic. I will definitely be more optimistic. :) :heart:

Brad, I'm so sorry to hear about your father's medical problems. I'm praying for him and your family. I know your relationship with him is strained. I think you're doing the right thing in reuniting with him. I'm sure he misses you. It may help his recovery. A good state of mind always helps.

You know I'm here for you. If you need a friend to talk to, just say the word.

Thank you sooo much for your words Janice!!! I'm going through ALOT right now, and you are one of the few who have a really good idea of everything that is going on. And to be honest, my friends like you and others, along with God and family are a couple of the few things that are keeping me happy and optimistic in spite of everything that is going on. Even many of my family have been extra angry since my attitude change, and so it gets INCREDIBLY confusing sometimes. Along with my personal life, life online has been tough lately as well, as Iv'e noticed ten times more hate directed toward me since my attitude change. Even a couple friends have been taking shots at me, and it's often hard not to say something, but I just keep trying to keep Jesus as my main focus, and as long as I do, I'll be able to get through anything. What would Jesus do has pretty much become my philosophy for life. Life is short, so I nned to love, live, forgive, and be the best person that I possibly can be. I still mess up, but not nearly as much as I use to. Sooo much love to both you and Lou for always being there for me, whether things are good or bad. You are the best Janice, and I love you with all my heart. Will try to get a phone call out to you soon. I miss hearing your voice. :heart: :heart: :heart:
