I know that I rarely post, but I am an avid reader and I have always been touched by the gracious sharing of emotional strength that I see here. I don't have anyone else to lean on right now, so I came here to let it out.

My Father has been diagnosed with terminal cancer. I have had a strained and distant relationship with him my entire life, but we've been making strides to repair that this last few years. I have not gotten to see him in 20 years and with money being so tight, I am terrified that I won't ever have that chance now. I am not a religious woman, but I believe very strongly in the power of energy and prayers are a way to direct that energy. So, I ask that everyone please send their prayers to my Dad. I so desperately wish for his remaining time to be as peaceful as it can be and I hope to find a way to visit him before it's too late. Thank you.

You and he are in my prayers as well!! Where do you and he live?

One option - if you both have computers you can download Skype for FREE and if you have cameras you can actually see each other and visit all you want. We do this with our youngest and it is almost as good as being there. http://www.skype.com/intl/en-us/get-skype/on-your-computer/windows/

Thank you all for the prayers. They seem to have done the trick. I reconnected with an Uncle who I hadn't seen in as many years as my Dad. He offered to buy me a ticket and give me a place to stay. So I am here with my Dad and Uncle, getting to spend some quality time together. Thank you all. I truly believe that this chance is an answer to our prayers.
