I am afraid.
I hate fear. I hate that I can not control life. I have tried to go with the flow... but my nature is to take charge and fix things when they are broken. Problems that I can't control sometimes make me crazy.
My Dad has informed me he had an elevated PSA test and that he goes back for another test next week. If it is still elevated he will have a biopsy. His risk factors for prostate cancer are increased due to his brother battling this cancer and due to his age (70 is the new 60 don't you know!).
I am sending up my prayers (yes, I said the rosary this morning after getting this news). It is comforting to me to say a rosary... the repetition and reflections take my mind off of my earthly worries... I am lifted up in the prayers I lift up for others... in this case for my Dad.
If you could please take a moment to life him up in prayer it would be appreciated more than words can express. We have been down the cancer road with my mother and I tremble just typing the word.
Since losing my mother my father has become a rock in my life. I love him more than ever and appreciate his wisdom more than any other time in my life. I always knew he was brilliant, I just never appreciated it. I appreciate it now. I appreciate his approval and pride in my hard work. I appreciate that he is happy with how I'm raising my kids. I appreciate that he approves because I think he and my mom did SUCH a great job with us. If I have have the patience and wisdom I am a wealthy woman indeed!
Wow, this was not the blog post I thought I'd be writing today.
So yes, back to the purpose of this post... please pray for my Dad. I thank you in advance!

Prayers for your dad, and prayers for YOU to have strength through this. I hate the "C" word. Seen too many people in my life have it, and it terrifies me.
Done and done.
done
