I wanted to ask for prayers for my parents. After 67 years of marriage, it looks like Dad may not be able to stay at home any longer due to his deteriorating health. I'm heading down to Arizona tomorrow to help out my Mom while he's in the hosp/rehab -- so I'm also requesting travel prayers.

One more request, it looks like my brother and I may also need to help my folks in making decisions that may change some of the independence they've had all these years. They're in their late 80s and have lived in the same home nearly 40 years!

Prayers for your parents, both for your Dad's health and well-being and for your Mom's strength in the face of his illness and the difficult circumstances and decisions which now face her.

Prayers also, my good friend, for your safe travel and that you and your brother have the wisdom and strength to help and guide your parents as they did you in your lives. There are few things more difficult than the transitioning of roles from parent to child and vice-versa.

May the Lord have mercy on you and your family, DT, and I pray that He will guide you and lead you to make the best decisions...
May the Theotokos intercede for all of you and protect all of you.
Amen.
