This is a picture of my dad when he came to visit us in Bolivia. (I am standing on a rock because he is close to six foot tall)
Things over the past few weeks have been both crazy and challenging with my dad’s sickness. It was a little over a month ago that he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. The doctors told him that he had probably a year or less. They initially tried some Chemotherapy and Radiation but after only three treatments he couldn’t take it any more. In only a month his condition has worsened very quickly. He is now barely able to get up and walk and because of the medicines he is confused most of the time. The last time one of the nurses came to check on him she said that it looks like he may only have a few weeks. It has been heartbreaking to see my dad go through this but through it all we have trusted in the Lord and our desire is that He be glorified. We want to thank so many that have prayed for him and us during this time. There must be hundreds or even thousands that are praying all over the world. Our greatest comfort is knowing that he will be with the Lord and not have to suffer any more. I have so many wonderful memories of times with him that I will cary with me for the rest of my life.
