Father-in-law

Recommended Posts

Quick request. I need as many prayers as possible. My father-in-law for the last 29 years has been in the hospital since Monday and is not expected to pull through. I need comfort for the family and father-in-law, and strength for me, because I am the one who has to talk to him this afternoon to discuss quality of life, last wishes, medical wishes, etc. Not sure I can do it without losing it. Might be days, might be a week, might be a couple weeks, but he will never leave the hospital again.

Lance, sorry to hear that. I know how hard it is. I am going through the exact same thing right now. We didn't expect my father-in-law to make it past Christmas. But he keeps chugging along. You just have to have faith that they are in a better place and happier.

Thanks everyone, for the prayers and condolences.

 

It is with a heavy heart I say goodbye to a man who changed my life at the age of 16. Without this man, I would not have my wife and kids, the lights of my life. For the past 29 years I have known and loved this kind, generous, and funny man. We hunted together, fished together, laughed together, among many other great times.

 

I thank God for giving us the last week together to say our goodbyes. It will be a while before the pain subsides, but seeing him in good spirits, and coming back to God over the last week, along with knowing he is in a better place with no more pain or sorrow helps ease the pain. We will meet again, and I know he will be up there watching over us, and laughing at all of the stupid stuff I do until it is my time to go meet him again.

 

Just a quick mental picture of this man:

50% Uncle Sy from Duck Dynasty

25% Uncle Jed from the Beverly Hillbillies

25% Popeye

 

100% Elby "Bus" Robertson
