Administrators Eric Posted August 5, 2020 Administrators Share Posted August 5, 2020 My father has been in the Hospital. He got out today, but the outlook isn’t good. He is at home with round-the-clock nursing care. I thought I’d put this post here for those that remember him from his Bill Powell Stories threads, both here and on GT. I thought those of you who remember him could share a kind word. I’m sure he would enjoy the comments. Please keep him in your prayers. 3 2 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry your family is going through this. Loved ones don't last forever, but knowing that that doesn't help one bit! I have thought about my demise, and my greatest fear and regret is what it does to my children. I know what you are going through. God bless! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norcalAF Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 I don't have the history with you or your father that these other folks have, but the fact that you are writing this thread, as difficult as it must be when I'm sure there are a million thoughts in your head speaks volumes to the kind of man your father is in how he raised you. May God watch over both of you and grant you both grace for the journey ahead. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
