The worst news ever

Capt,
Hang in there. We're always here when you need someone to pray with.

Prayers go out to you, your father and family.

Ryan, I am so very sorry for your father, family, and you. I will be praying for your father and your family.

It is difficult to find more or better words. Just know that we care for you and want to help in some way.

My family has been thru this once, and we are going thru it again.
Pray...smile for your dad... and go out of your way to spend time with your family.
 
You've got the thoughts and prayers from me and my wife. And if you need to get out of town for a few days to get your head on straight, Pittsburgh isn't too far and there are quite a few guys here that would be up for a visit...
 
It's not easy to watch the strongest man you've known in your life suffer and succumb to this. It was one of the hardest things I've had to deal with in my life and I had cancer when I was 17. I was just at the point in my life when my Dad would have become one of my best friends.
I never saw my Dad cry during all of it, Don't let your's see your pain and hurt, He knows it's there.
You probably didn't spend enough time with him during your life and it's gonna be hard to make up for it now, but you have to try.
If God brings you to it, God will take you thru it!
Prayers sent and thanks for making me remember my Dad.
 
That's tough brother. I have almost lost my father a couple of times (he is an alcoholic and has been very sick due to drinking and suicide attempts). I don't know how it would feel to learn that, especially since you seam to be so close to your dad. My prayers go out to you and your dad. Keep you hope up. Hes sounds like a strong man and should be able to fight off the disease. Please keep us posted with his battle against cancer.
 
I know what you are going through. My mother has had cancer twice, and my father has had it once. I have lost three grandparents to cancer. I will be praying for you and your family that everything will work out and that the doctors will have the guidance to fix this problem. Keep us posted.

First off, I want to thank everyone for there kind words and prayers. Razor, With my Dad and I, we spent ALOT of time together. We hunted, fished, trapped, worked on cars, and did alot with each other. I am the mini version of my Dad. That is one thing that I am thankful for, is our time we have spent together. Thank you all.
 
What Razor means...is that it doesn't matter how much time you spent with your Dad...it won't seem to be enough....
 
You're lucky Capt. I didn't get all that time. My Dad was always walking out the door to work the second shift when I was coming home from school, He was always working!
Now that I'm old enough to understand and relate to the things he talked about, He's gone.
I try now to include my son in everything I do. The hunting, fishing, cars. He Just won his Pinewood Derby last weekend with a Tank!
Keep the Faith Capt.
 
Ryan,

I sorry to hear about your dad. It is positive he has a good atitude as from what I hear it is so important. You and your family will be in my prayers.

Best Regards
Martin
 
Capt,

I'm very sorry to hear the news about your dad having cancer. He will be in my prayers along with you and your family. Its been a little over a year since my mother pasted away due to cancer.

It is good that you said he is in good health and optimistic about beating it. Please stay strong and support him by being confident he can get through this and survive.

Go to the Lance Armstrong Foundation website for info and stories from people going through the same thing.

Hang in there Capt. We'll keep you and your family in our thoughts and prayers. There are new treatments being developed all the time. Keep your hopes high. Encourage your father and the rest of your family. Stay strong.
 
I just hate to hear this. I don't know ya but we're all in this together. I sure hope for the best for your dad. Somehow I'm kinda proud of him for taking the news in stride. It seems everyone tries to blame someone else when it comes down to this. We all know the risks as he does. My rightous prayers for your dad. There is so much more hope today with medicine. I also pray for you Capt. Be there for him like he was for you. Peace.
