He's 86 years old, and was just diagnosed with leukemia. The doctors want him to come to the hospital this week.

Now I realize that he's 86, and that he's had a good life, and that he's always been pretty healthy. But I guess I always took for granted that my parents would always be there. And I can't stop crying. His Hebrew name is Eliahu Ben Yakov.

Also, my brother in law just died of cancer as well. He was buried Wednesday of last week.

Lisa,

Im so sorry to hear your pain. I can only relate to how I felt when my father passed three years ago. I also know how evil cancer is as my father had, and my step-father currently is dealing with cancer. I made sure that all things were resolved and there were no issues remaining. In my case I had reasons to feel anger for my father, and yet I forgave him. My only pain is never having been able to resolve my issues with my brother.

I will pray for Refuah Shlema for your father in any case. As long as there is life there is hope. I have a friend who is 94 and I pray for his health every day.

I am so sorry to hear that you lost your brother-in-law, Lisa.
I know you were very good to him when he was sick.

I am also sorry to hear that your Dad is ill.
It is very difficult when our parents are sick. You can't put an age on good people. They should live forever and never be sick.
The past few years have been difficult ones for my family, so I understand the fear you might have.
Try to have a positive outlook. Even though it is really hard. There have been great advances in the treatment of leukemia. Remember to enjoy your dad while he goes through this trial. I got lost in my fears and that is wasted time.
I will keep your dad and family in my prayers.
I will say an extra prayer for you to be strong.

(Click link for Hebrew)

1. A song of ascents. I lift my eyes to the mountains-from where will my help come? 2. My help will come from the Lord, Maker of heaven and earth. 3. He will not let your foot falter; your guardian does not slumber. 4. Indeed, the Guardian of Israel neither slumbers nor sleeps. 5. The Lord is your guardian; the Lord is your protective shade at your right hand. 6. The sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. 7. The Lord will guard you from all evil; He will guard your soul. 8. The Lord will guard your going and your coming from now and for all time.
