Worry...

lays about my shoulders like a lead cloak of sadness. The worry is not for myself, but for someone I hold close to my heart. He has had more troubles than any human should in the past year. Now as it seems to be passing, his health is failing. The doctors have told him to get his affairs in order. Today they are doing a biopsy to confirm his diagnosis of inoperable liver cancer. He is the man who proved to me that there are good and honest men on this planet. The thought of losing him devastates me. I can only imagine how great his sorrow and his daughters is now. I would take his place if it were possible. God, give me the strength to do anything I can for them. Let him know Your Love and mercy. Keep him safe, let this all be a horrid mistake, or a nightmare from which we will awaken. I wish I was in North Carolina with him now, so he would know his friends won't desert him when he needs us most. He thought he had it all, great family, friends, money and most important of all, You. In the end only You matter.
