asking for prayers and positive thoughts

[captjacksparrowsavvvy]

Marty's stepdad is in the final stages of cancer. He's asked for prayers for his stepdad and mom, and I know that Marty could use the prayers as well as this is a most difficult time for all.

Thanks

Bless those who mourn, eternal God,

with the comfort of your love

that they may face each new day with hope

and the certainty that nothing can destroy

the good that has been given. May their memories become joyful,

their days enriched with friendship,

and their lives encircled by your love.

Amen.

Oh Perkeo this is a beautiful prayer. I am sending it to Marty.

And thanks to all for your prayers and thoughts. It is never easy to let go of a loved one. Yet it is painful to watch them suffer.

Cancer is cruel...

Of course prayers and thoughts. I'll light a candle to Brihgid.

[Iron Bess]

Candles to light the way and words of Prayer on the new Moon.

Comfort for those in transition and for those who will remain for a time longer.

They will all be in our circle.

I am standing upon the seashore. A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean. She is an object of beauty and strength. I stand and watch her until at length she hangs like a speck of white cloud just where the sea and sky come to mingle with each other. Then someone at my side says, "There, she is gone."

"Gone where?"

Gone from my sight. That is all. She is just as large in mast and hull and spar as she was when she left my side, and she is just as able to bear her load of living freight to her destined port. Her diminished size is in me, not in her. And just at the moment when someone at my side says, "There, she is gone!" there are other eyes watching her coming, and there are other voices ready to take up the glad shout, "Here she comes!" And that is dying.

Heartfelt prayers to familiy and friends, and a parting glass for the journey on.

I'm so sorry to hear of this - cancer is a bastard of a disease. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.
