I am not the writer that my dad and brother are, but I wanted to take a minute to give everyone an update on Dad. As of today, our prayers have been answered for relief of pain, he is pain free right now which is a blessing. But the prayer that is still needed is for strength, appetite, and for the nausea to go away. He is still struggling daily with each of these things.
I want to thank all of you for your prayers and support you have given my mom and dad, and the whole family. This blog has been a blessing to our family more than anyone will ever know. Reading all of the comments, and encouragement, and prayers is so refreshing.
Our God is good, and we know he is guiding us each step of the way. God continues to show Himself and has given us great comfort.
Psalm 46: 1-4
“God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore, we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging.
There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy place where the Most high dwells.”
Bob, may you and your family rest in the place where the Most High dwells and may you feel His presence and peace in the days ahead. Keeping you in our prayers.

Isaiah 54:10
Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken, nor my covenant of peace be removed, says the Lord who has compassion on you.
“Lord their world has been shaken! Give them your peace, strength, comfort and guidance. Bring healing to Bob’s body and strength for Suzie as she cares for him. Lord your love is consistant and you have compassion for us. Thank you for hearing our prayers. Amen”
We love you and here for you. Bill and Sandy

Thank you for the update. I think of your Dad EVERY day and ask the Lord to be gracious to him. Am very happy the pain has subsided. Now that he doesn’t have to manage pain, his energy level may increase. I pray it will be so. Love to all of you.

Yeah for pain free! Praying the pain stays away and that the appetite and strength increase.
Thanks for taking the time to give updates. I know it’s not an easy to find the time or energy to keep up with it, but we care about your dad and all of you and appreciate hearing how things are going.

To Bob, Suzie, Scott and Krista,
Thank you so much for all of your heartfelt up-dates. Scott, Krista-I know this must be a difficult task, yet for your Dad, it is a precious gift. I was so glad to hear today that he is pain free. I will be praying that this is a permanent improvement. I doubt that you remember it, Scott and Krista, but we spent many happy hours together when you were toddlers and our boys were toddlers. We would appreciate a short time to visit with you and Bob , Suzie, if it’s o.k. Let us know. 704-948-3897. Much love to all of you. We are praying . Please give Bob our love. Blessings, Susan and Richard
