sheep in the city

I will keep your Dad and your family in my prayer and thoughts.

He sounds like SUCH an amazing man, I can only imagine how awsome a Father he is. He sounds strong, so I am confident he will get well.

{{hugs}}

I saw that on your dad's blog today, and got all teary at the words he wrote. I'm still praying and still faithful that God will work together for the good. Two steps forward and a step back...but grateful for the two steps forward.

You and your family are deeply loved by so many of us who really don't know you at all. I've been reading your Dad's blog for months and praying for all of you in my own way. His warmth and strength astound me.

Take good care.

Oh, Stacey. Not the news you were hoping for.

He is in my prayers.

Thinking of you and your father . . .

You and your fam has been in my thoughts. Keep your head up, my dear.

I will be keeping your entire family in my thoughts.

Stacey, I am so sorry to hear of this- my thoughs are with you all.

I am sorry Stacey, I keep saying it and I keep meaning if you need anything. I have all of you in my thoughts.

I'm sorry the news wasn't what you hoped. I will keep all of you in my thoughts.

I'm saddened to hear thi snews. Please know that I continue to keep your family in my prayers and pray for a happy and healthy outcome for you Dad. Much love to you.

I found your blog today by chance and it seems fated. I am sorry to hear about your father and his fight against this disease. Looking through your father's blog I am suprised by the similarity with my father. He was diagnosed around the same time as your father. Just a month ago my father received his bone scan results and is currently going through radiation. Although my father is a deeply spiritual man he is also a very private one and I never know what he is really feeling. Reading your father's blog has helped me understand my own a little better. Thank you for linking to his blog and please thank him for me. I love your knitting content but today I needed the family content more. Thank you.

stace- i don't know if i've ever articulated how much I love your family. They epitomize what I think most ppl wish they had in their own families. I know that your family finds great comfort and strength in each other, but I hope you know I've got a shoulder for you to lean on. (and a trained ear to listen too)

Awww, poop. I was so hoping for good news for you all. I will keep you in my thoughts and in my heart.

I'll keep you, your dad, and your entire family in my prayers.

Stacey,

I am sending healing energy and thoughts to your dad. Love to you.

Wow, I'm sorry about the news you got about your Dad. I'm sending tons love and hope your way.
Keep those needles moving, though...it does help.
*HUGS*
All good things.

I am so sorry to hear the news isn't what we all prayed it would be. I hope some peace can be found knowing so many are praying for you and your family.

I don't know if this will help, but someone said this to me recently and it helped me during a difficult time - - - remember, nothing will happen that God doesn't want to happen. There is a purpose behind everything and He will get us through each challenge.

Just breathe. (and knit . . . )

You are your family are in my prayers, Stacey! And knitting really does help, I promise...

Stacy, so sorry to hear that the news wasn't what we'd all hoped for. Know that so many people are keeping you and your family in their thoughts and prayers - that much good energy has to help!

Stacey, I went and read your dad's thoughts on his blog. One of them really spoke to me....the one about healing happening, either here or in Heaven. I have struggled with that for a long time. Those words settled the issue for me.

Hang in there.
Love to you.

So sorry about your dad.
Sending lots of prayers his way.

I really like reading your blog...you're bright, encouraging, cheerful, and you're not afraid to share more than the knitting. Please know you and your family are in my prayers. My father also had cancer. I kept wishing I could take away some of his pain. All we could do was to be by his side and pray. And sometimes that's the best you can offer.

You and yours will be in my thoughts and prayers.

I will keep you and your dad in my thoughts and prayers.
Can I tell you a happy outcome for cancer?
A year and a half a go, my dad's dentist saw suspicious spots in his mouth and sent him to a cancer specialist. They discovered that he had a VERY rare, like never before seen at the cancer center in Boston, non light mediated melanoma inside his mouth. And you may know that melanoma is a very aggressive cancer.
They did sugery and removed many teeth and his hard palate. He had radiation and chemo. They built a prosthetic for his mouth.
So far he has had clean check ups, 2 weeks ago he had surgery on his nose to repair where the radiation damaged soem cartilege.
I hope your father has as good an outcome.

Just bloggin' around and found your site. I just wanted to say how much your father's words affected me. I can see God's grace shining from him! You can see the honesty in his words. I will definitely be praying for you and your family. It was an honor to read his blog. (I tried to leave a comment, but was unable to).

I'm so sorry you didn't get the news you'd hoped for. Will keep praying for your dad and the whole family.

When my mom was going through her battle with cancer I found the following proverb:

"Pray to God and row for shore."

After reading your dad's post about the oncologist's report, this quote popped back into my head. It seems to me that your dad is doing both. And it sounds like he has some good people helping him with the oars.

Take care of yourself, chickie. I'd tell you to get yourself some yarn-therapy, but it seems you already did. :)

I'm sorry the news wasn't better. I'll be keeping your dad and family in my thoughts.

God is over this, Stacey. I want to hug you.

"PRAY with confidence and hope, through all crisis" - for we know that our Savior and Lord is soverign, will strength us and be our ever-constant companion and help

Hey Stacey ... my thoughts and prayers are with you and your dad right now!!! And re: the IWK ... me, too, I think it's awesome. I've started the Nantucket jacket (on the cover) ... I just couldn't resist. And I ordered some of that new knitpicks Totem in sky blue for the Arwen jacket ... I just couldn't resist. Why does holiday knitting have to get in the way of selfish self centered knitting?? Take care ... Hope to see you soon, and meanwhile I'll be sending good vibes your way!

Your dad's words are very insightful. Prayers and blessings to you.

I loved your dad's post. My favorite? Start a new hobby - you're not dead yet.

Words we should ALL live by! You're in my thoughts.

There are some people that just have class, and your Dad is one of them. When the going gets tough, the tough are more determined to serve God. He's in a win-win situation. He either gets healed or heaven. It's not as good a situation for you, but the best place to be is in God's hands.
