Dad's Birthday

Today is my Dad's birthday, we celebrate it with a different feeling this year, happy he is here to celebrate and with a prayer he will have many more, so it's bitter sweet. He has started to lose hair now, this makes it all the more real for me and those of us who see him. Remember him in your prayers that God's will be done, in my heart I hope that it means many more years with us. Dad has fought his demons in past years but has really changed a lot over the past year, all for the better, I just hope he has the chance to enjoy this change, he is truly my sister Kristin's saving grace, we've all enjoyed a closer relationship. So many have offered their love and christian support. My Nana's Sunday School class took up a love offering to help with his medical expenses as his medicine's aren't covered, I was shocked at how much was given. My Nana is giving him a couch and chair since she just purchased new ones, it will make him proud of his place and give him pride in it. My PaPaw has given him clothes which are the kind for comfort during this time of treatments (my PaPaw is a cancer survivor and understands what it's like to fight this battle), Johnny and my cousin Chuck are loading the furniture at Nana's up to take it to him. My Mom has been there for me and offers her full support in all aspects. Christ's love is shining through and I'm so thankful. Dad continues to have a good outlook and seems to be taking it day by day, I'm proud of him and the man he has become. Please continue to pray for him and his salvation. We're celebrating his birthday with a cookout at my Uncle Trippe's and a cake, and for all you football fans, I got him his beloved "Georgia Bulldog' items, as a Tennessee fan, it just sort of seemed WRONG!
